Challange
What did the client expect?
Build a platform from scratch
Design and development of the app was required to deliver end-product to the market.
Understand target group
High school students have specific habits and needs, and this had to be factored into the project.
Responsiveness
As a social network focused around young people, responsiveness and mobile design was needed.
Approach
How did we work on the project?
We were approached by auBahut with a request to create a platform for highschool students - a social network where young people could be grouped by class, level, and college they were in. The main focus was put on social aspects, mainly facilitating cooperation around courses and exercises.
We decided to use Meteor for this project, due to its main advantages: responsiveness, ability to work as a mobile application without access to the internet, and ease of use.
Since the network was being designed for high school students, we focused on short text communication, images, and functionalities that required as little engagement as possible. We exposed exercises and questions, a main functionality of the platform.
Results
What did we achieve?
The client got delivered a disruptive, innovative platform with social networking and collaboration in mind. It was adopted by over a thousand of educational institutions and gained interest of students in the early stages.
