Vision:

To impact, empower and reconstruct local and global communities through innovation

Case

• Redesign the Zlato application
• Focus on the aspect of doing deeds
• Make it more steamlined and efficient using contextual information

“Context is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. An entity is a person, place, or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and application themselves.” - Dey

Social, cultural and material contextual information.

Design Process

1. Understanding
   • Desk research
   • Skype-interviews
   • Face-to-face interview
2. Ideation
   • Brainstorming
   • Sketching
3. Prototyping
   • Low- and high-fi mockups
4. Testing
   • Screensharing

Finding our focus

"We want to change their [students] mindsets to better the community, because in these communities no one really worries about the community, they run like on their own, so we want them to create a community and work together." - Devon (RLabs developer)

The motivation for doing deeds should be for

improving the community

and not for earning Zlato

Students lacks awareness of deeds, thus

few deeds are being done

FOCUS

To create more awareness on doing deeds and inspire and motivate students to participate in improving the local community.
