Inspiration

Parents often struggle with baby‑care routines — feeding schedules, medical checkups, and growth tracking — while siblings feel left out. I wanted to create something that feels less like a tool and more like a friend + game + guide. That’s how NuzzleNest was born: a playful 3D world with a mascot that supports both parents and siblings.

What it does

NuzzleNest is a 3D companion app that makes baby‑care fun, educational, and magical.

👶 Parent Mode: Daily checklist, smart alarms, growth tracker, food guidance, product guide, and calendar with stickers.

🧒 Sibling Mode: Quizzes, mini‑games, finger‑tracking mascot, glowing background effects, and treasure box rewards.

🌍 Social Features: Custom avatars, streak competitions, leaderboards, and future community sharing.

🎨 3D Interactivity: Mascot animations, glowing backgrounds, and motion‑based effects that make learning playful.

How we built it

Design: Figma for UI/UX prototyping and mascot creation.

Prototype: Interactive flows designed to simulate finger tracking, glowing backgrounds, and treasure box rewards.

Conceptual Logic: Growth tracker built on simplified BMI formula:

𝐵 𝑀

𝐼

Weight (kg) Height (m) 2 Converted into plain language outputs like “Healthy” or “Slightly underweight.”

Challenges we ran into

🎨 Designing a mascot that feels original yet universally appealing.

📊 Simplifying WHO/CDC growth charts into parent‑friendly language.

🗓️ Syncing calendar events with checklists and reminders.

🧩 Implementing smooth 3D interactivity (finger tracking, glowing effects).

🤝 Ensuring accessibility for parents with different education levels.

Simplified growth tracking into clear, friendly health messages.

Built a calendar with stickers that syncs into daily checklists.
