In today's fast-paced world, student health and wellbeing are often overlooked amidst the pressures of academic success. We believe that fostering a healthy relationship with financial wellbeing is crucial for students' overall success and happiness. Introducing WealthWave, a fun and interactive personal finance managing app designed specifically for students to promote healthy budgeting habits. Your budgeting shouldn't be fishy - leave that to the fish.
Meet the Team
- Hi! My name is Jaina and I’m a backend developer and designer for Wealth Wave. I love programming and swimming!
- I'm Anthony and I worked with both frontend and backend, but I didn't do as much styling as the other two. I just want to sleep now.
- Hi I'm Tommy!
The Problem We're Solving
Many students struggle with managing their finances effectively, leading to stress, anxiety, and overall financial hardships. Additionally, the link between financial wellness and overall health is often underestimated, resulting in negative impacts on students' physical and emotional wellbeing.
Our Solution
WealthWave offers a unique approach to personal finance management by integrating elements of gamification and visual feedback, making budgeting engaging and rewarding. Users can create customized budgets for different expense categories, such as groceries, entertainment, or transportation. Each budget is represented by a randomly generated fish in a virtual fish tank, symbolizing the health of their financial goals.
Challenges we ran into
During the hackathon, we faced the challenge of losing our business student and designer members after the first day. As a result, the remaining team members had to take on multiple roles to ensure the completion of the project by the deadline.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite the challenges, we successfully completed the website within the designated timeframe. We take pride in the fact that the functionalities we implemented offer an interesting and unique user experience.
What we learned
This experience taught us the importance of starting early in the development process. We realized that there is always more to implement and unexpected bugs to address. However, despite the challenges, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed working together as a team.
What's next for Wealth Wave
In the future, we plan to enhance the design to create a more visually appealing experience for users. Additionally, thorough testing to identify and resolve any bugs will be a priority for us moving forward.
