Foremost, we started thinking about problems people from our surroundings were exposed to in their everyday lives.
We had different ideas, and we discussed them for some time.
We found out things like the climate change (doing an app with some points and challenges to motivate people to collaborate with earth), school topics (virtual teachers, PAU exams, job interview simulations, job experience for youth, knowledge sharing, checklists or financial education), and other things like apps to prevent drownings on the beach, some app for grandparents (records of their memories for their children and grandchildren, or even an app for making friends), heat shelters, supermarket management, product improvements and car parking.
Furthermore, we finally decided to create a solution that affected most of the group members, and also so many people around the world. A step that can change your life. That's what we wanted to proportionate with this app, to make things easier for people to help others and to guide them for a great future. Our app was focused on providing volunteering activities for people who wanted to change the world.
So we started looking up for information and the apps that existed from this kind of activity. And we found out that there was no app that included all the things that you needed to start volunteering in a place.
We also searched for the different types of volunteer that were possible to do to include in our app.
That was only the start but with many hours spent in creating, researching and designing this app we created NEED U.
