A target of amateur rocketry groups is often sending a vehicle into space, officially at the 100 km Karim line. As astounding as it is that this target is within reach of amateurs, they are still complex: this group spent 10 years to achieve their goal.

Part of the work on these projects becomes organizational: bringing new members up to speed on procedures and expectations, archiving progress and resources, and succession planning for key roles to be filled as original members move on from the project. 

The app allows users to have various roles, giving them access to different subsets of data, communication channels, control of funding or social media accounts, etc.

In China, the ubiquitous WeChat is used for many tasks besides chatting: sharing events, coordinating meetups using real-time locations, making/accepting payments.

Nonprofit groups often are glad to receive fundraising, but handling payments indirectly to volunteers brings up risks. The app can offer volunteers to share payment options that go directly to the organization, reducing risks and simplifying payments, tax documentation and further communications with donors.

Location settings can be used to share information publicly/privately, arrange event logistics, and share important locations.

The often cited limitation of Wikipedia (anyone can edit it) is simultaneously its greatest strength: anyone can become involved. The degree of beneficial community efforts tends to offset the small number of malicious actors. While not offering the academic robustness of peer reviewed journals, Wikipedia offers an increase in scope, speed and accessibility. 

Complex projects involve learning, and open source materials are an ideal way to document and maintain this. An integrated app can offer various options for internal documentation (procedures, suggestions, member contacts) and public ones (information for potential partners, public outreach).

The rise of crowdfunding has shown that traditional methods of fundraising are not the only viable option. GoFundMe and similar sites remove the need for large organizations to raise money, and also offer diversity of funding projects. The ability of individuals to support topics, regions or individuals they value encourages very personal engagement with fundraising.

Users can search for projects based on location, specific causes or general trends (such as the UN Global Goals). Unlike crowdfunding, options could be to donate time instead of money, or allow charity groups to find projects to work with.

Ecosystems are complex systems of interacting organisms and their environment, making research a difficult task. Even if an area has been carefully researched, changes over time require constant follow-up observations. iNaturalist lets users document wildlife that they encounter, leading to a large database of species contacts by time and location. This information can be used to identify trends in migration, invasive species and their impact, and the effects of climate change.

Government groups often have programs that encourage public participation or may offer grants and other support for relevant projects. The app lets teams search for and contact public organizations that may be relevant to them, provide background information, upload documentation and data, or apply for funding programs.

To complete the IB diploma program, students must undertake efforts involving creativity, action, or service. The open nature of the requirement allows students to explore areas of personal interest or concern, while making a real-world connection and impact.

Student projects and contributions do not need to be staged in a self-contained academic bubble. By providing tools to integrate a real-world experience into the requirements of an academic program, students both learn the curriculum but gain experience working on a project that this more authentic than an interesting but artificial task.
