The Scoop

Inspiration

Teenage social media usage has increased dramatically within recent years, especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. GenZers and younger Millennials — this aspirational generation of cultural creatives, activists, entrepreneurs, and influencers — desire a safe and secure environment to express themselves and their opinions, find supportive communities, and develop personal goals and ambitions without judgment, bigotry, or harassment.

What it does

The Scoop is a mobile application for teens and young adults to develop an anonymous social wellness online network, encompassing the ideals of personal wellness, community-building, and online safety.

How We built it

We prototyped the Scoop mobile application on Figma.

Challenges We ran into

Due to each teammate being at various time zones, it has been difficult for us to identify certain times to meet up and work on the project together.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

With the limited times that we had at the Protothon event, we were proud of taking on an existing design problem, refining the problem area, conducting more in-depth user research, and completing the market analysis.

What We learned

We learned that the user research process was fun and difficult.
