Inspiration

As a busy mum of two young boys going to different schools, I have been missing out on important days and activities so I had the idea and created a platform to connect and parse the information in one place. I have been bombarded in the WhatsApp Group by daily messages what day is it so inspired by the parents in the Group , I had told them that I am creating an app to help us. I had completed the intensive vibe coding course with Kaggle and Google, attended online workshops with London, Essex and Brussels GDG and also I had participated in online learning challenges. I had submitted the initial draft of this project to Kaggle for certification and now have taken it further in development.

What it does

Busy Kidz saves mums 3 hrs of planning by parsing the information in one platform , interactive map for every day of the week to get to Sunday and I have added activities and announcement area where mums can put announcement and also check out for local clubs.

How we built it

We used Antigravity and Google ADK, Skills and MCP , run on Cloud Run and Firebase Hosting and used Marketing material created with Gemini and Flow.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting to stripe and convincing friends and clubs to connect while at an initial stage was challenging, also to make sure it runs smoothly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Started instagram page @busykidz and used 30£ of advertising and accomplished 4.6K reach the first 3 days , organic reach with 2.5k views with other posts coming to about 7.8k total views in 5 days and almost 100 followers

What we learned

Testing, testing, testing, guardrails and creating visibility from the beginning and outstanding marketing material to draw traction.

What's next for Busy Kidz

Android App using Android Studio, Pitching to Investors and improving app performance while adding more features.
