Details

The main goal for the project is to design an app for Carbon Floor that allows users to set a climate impact goal, calculate their climate impact by inputting their activities, and use those to compete via leaderboards and mini-challenges.

Deliverables

The tasks learners will need to complete to achieve the project goal include:


- Initial brainstorming


- Related work/background research


- User research (including interviews with potential target users)


- Persona design


- Scenario design


- Designing the requirements


- Low-fidelity prototyping (using tools like Adobe XD and Figma)


- User testing (testing the prototype with test users)


- Evaluation (understanding what works and what needs improvement)


Mentorship

Access to founders and their vision w.r.t the game. Access to climate and carbon impact resources.


Mentorship to students working on the project. Connection to researchers in the field.


Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions or provide additional information. Minimum of 2-4 interactions with each student group leader (approximately 4-6 hours over the duration of the project). Let the students/instructor know if you will be away for an extended time (e.g., vacation).


Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course. Advise the instructor if students will be required to sign an NDA prior to beginning the project.


To provide efficiency in the information-sharing process, 2 - 3 web conferences may be scheduled in advance at appropriate intervals. The Instructor may ask for participation in an Instructor-led webinar session for students at the beginning of the project by providing an overview of your organization, project, and desired/expected outcomes.


Share feedback and recommendations about the project deliverables with the students and instructor.
