Glow N Grow

Inspiration

As we brainstormed an idea, we knew that there was a plethora of meditation, health, and wellness apps on the market, however there was nothing that fully combined these categories. We wanted to encompass personal health and wellness into one platform where users can connect with others to promote confidence and social engagement. Glow N Grow provides the online tools to glow and grow every aspect of your life through various stress relieving activities.

What it does

It’s an all encompassing website that include tools for improving physical health through workouts and healthy recipes and mental health through relaxation and journaling. It also allows you to connect to a community.

How I built it

We used Wix website builder because we have limited coding experience/skill.

Challenges I ran into

Our first problem was that we all come from different backgrounds and had different ideas for what to create. We had to discuss and compromise in order to come up with a solution that was a good mixture of all of our ideas but still user friendly. We originally wanted to make an app but weren’t sure of how to accomplish this so choosing a platform that we were familiar with was also a challenge.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We collaborated so that we could build a website that involved different ideas from everyone on the team.

What I learned

This was our first hackathon so we learned the basics of how one works. We also learned about the ideation and design process as we came up with an idea that would include all of our interests and desires. We learned how to collaborate to design and execute a website.

What's next for Glow N Grow

With Glow N Grow’s future success and popularity, we hope to make Glow N Grow into a mobile app and also expand our community page to other local communities around the nation.
