Context
Many students experience living away from home for the first time in college or university. With a change in location and lifestyle, they are prone to struggles with taking care of their health and wellbeing - particularly with purchasing living essentials. As current university students, we understood the weight of these responsibilities on top of academic studies.
How might we address the challenges of students who need a motivating way of planning and purchasing living essentials?
Better Bag is a shopping and scheduling app motivating students through community and rewards. Intended to be implemented for a university campus, the app assists with completing shopping lists through gamification and builds student connection to the campus community.
