This year, I participated in my first ever hackathon. I found it daunting in the beginning because I was working with a team of people I didn't know, so I wasn't sure what to expect and what the team dynamic would be. It was also my first time using Figma. I ended up loving my team! Although we all had very different skillsets, I was proud of the way we were able to collaborate and delegate tasks effectively.
We had 10 hours to design something based off of the theme for this year's WINFO Hackathon: "Driven by Difference". We created a navigation app prototype providing users information regarding route and location safety based on a calculated safety score. The app is also a community space where users can inform and stay informed through features like route reviews and real-time alerts. Popular navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze are great for providing users with the most time-efficient route options, but they lack information regarding safety.
My contributions to the prototype were the alerts page, the user profile, route reviews, and the logo design.
