New Product Design: Prototype

Studentboard is creating a comprehensive platform to build, sell, and teach courses, and collaborate globally. The student(s) will research and develop a prototype, focusing on various products. We believe this project will require: Researching existing products and functions (simple, easy to use, minimizing clicks and pages). Developing a prototype of a recommended product design by completing UX and UI work. Figma will be the main prototyping tool used due to easy accessibility and collaboration ability. The final deliverables include: A prototype of the recommended design for a product. As the platform will have many moving parts, we will work with the student(s) in week one and two to identify a project outline based on contract length and time commitment. Potential products fall under five main modules including the following: Instructor and institution user profile: includes introduction page, course builder, enrolment management, and teaching tools Student profile: introduction profile (to add skills, education, interests etc.), and a place to enrol in and pay for courses, and learn. Landing page and Marketplace: Students search for courses, institutions, or instructors using basic search bar, filtering, and finding promoting courses. Peer to peer collaboration tool Four modules will be broken down into sub-tools that each student team will focus on based on student availability. Prototyping may occur on Figma or any other chosen software the student/team is interested in using. Studentboard Inc. will pay for appropriate tools required. Level up provides a $1400 stipend to each student: Studentboard seeks students interested in working 60-70 core hours (approximately $20-$23 per hour) with additional hours dedicated to mentorship and team networking. Work will occur on a part time basis and is flexible based on the student's schedule. One to two meetings (maximum of 2-4 hours total per week) will need to be attended for mentorship, team check-ins, and reporting on work progress (included within the 80 hours max). Slack and Zoom will be used to communicate, casual work attire, and students may be located anywhere in Canada (remote work)!

Pitch It Green - Marketing + Research

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET: Three years into leading Pitch It Green, our founder through consultation with community organizations, have come to the conclusion that there are silos with sustainability organizations across Canada, and there isn’t a centralized hub to gain access to the collective of information sustainability organizations have worked on. Youth are keen to learn more and need this type of knowledge to understand and embrace sustainability in their lives. For that reason, we want to create The Resource Hub a place where we provide all that necessary information in one place where anyone can easily access it, in order to learn and become motivated toward meaningful action. Our Resource Hub seeks to address the issues of the linear take-make-waste business approach, lack of support for small businesses (especially during the pandemic), and greenwashing, as well as issues of justice, equity, decolonization, and inclusion. KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES/TÂCHES ASSOCIÉES AU PROJET: We are planning the execution of three activities that will aid us in achieving our vision. The first activity involves outreach to youth-led sustainability organizations nationwide, in order to develop content and share other resources with one another. This activity will also involve contacting web developers and graphic designers in our community to build the back-end of the resource hub, as well as team meetings to plan and track progress. The second activity will have us collecting content from youth sustainability leaders from partner organizations and posting it on the resource hub. The third activity will involve the promotion of our launch on social media, with an official launch date of mid-November, and continuing to engage with youth in our network. IDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES/RÔLES/RESPONSABILITÉS:* Assisting with the creation of the online resource hub Researching organizations and small businesses that are working towards sustainability Writing content for a variety of our platforms (i.e. blog, social media, research projects) Reach out to organizations to collaborate on insights for the environmental issues and business opportunities project Developing a framework for selecting small business partners FINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES/LIVRABLES DU PROJET: - With the help of VFC students, we know we are going to be capable of launching the Resource Hub on our website by December 2021- January 2022 - We hope to reach 1000+ website visits per month, 200+ views on any videos, and have 100+ accounts created in our Resource Hub - We expect to engage 2000 youth across what is known as Canada indirectly, including high school and post-secondary students, young professionals, and youth activists.
