SpotStitch Algorithm Builder
Project: Human City is seeking to develop an algorithm builder for their social media app, SpotStitch. The goal of this project is to create a user-friendly tool that allows social media users to design and customize their own algorithms for content curation and recommendation. This will empower users to have more control over the content they see, enhancing their overall experience on the platform. The project will involve understanding user needs, designing an intuitive interface, and implementing the backend logic to support user-generated algorithms. The team will need to apply their knowledge of software development, user experience design, and data algorithms to successfully complete this project. Key points: - Develop a user-friendly algorithm builder for SpotStitch. - Enhance user control over content curation and recommendation. - Apply software development, UX design, and data algorithm skills. - Understand and incorporate user needs into the design.
High-Altitude Internet Balloon Design
Project: Human City aims to bridge the digital divide by providing internet access to remote and underserved areas. The goal of this project is to design a high-altitude hot air balloon capable of broadcasting internet signals while maintaining a relatively geo-fixed position to ensure consistent ground connection. The balloon must be able to withstand high-altitude atmospheric conditions, including low temperatures and high winds. The design should also consider energy efficiency, possibly incorporating solar panels or other renewable energy sources to power the broadcasting equipment. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in aerodynamics, materials science, and telecommunications. Key objectives include: - Designing a balloon structure that can remain stable at high altitudes. - Ensuring the balloon can maintain a geo-fixed position. - Developing a reliable internet broadcasting system. - Incorporating sustainable energy solutions.
City Layer UI/UX Enhancement
Project: Human City is seeking to enhance the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of their app, City Layer. City Layer is a work management and service delivery interface designed for urban environments. The current interface needs improvements to better serve city administrators and service providers, making it more intuitive and efficient. The goal is to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that facilitates the management of city services and resources. This project will involve analyzing the existing UI/UX, identifying pain points, and implementing design improvements based on user feedback and best practices in UI/UX design. Key points: - Analyze the current City Layer app interface. - Identify areas for improvement in UI/UX. - Implement design changes to enhance usability. - Ensure the new design aligns with user needs and industry standards.
Wellness AI Fitness Metrics Dashboard
Project: Human City is developing a Wellness AI aimed at enhancing user well-being through fitness and other wellness elements. The goal of this project is to assess how various fitness metrics and wellness elements can be effectively measured and displayed to the user. The project will involve researching existing fitness metrics, identifying key wellness elements, and designing a user-friendly dashboard that integrates these metrics. The team will need to ensure that the dashboard is intuitive, visually appealing, and provides actionable insights to users. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of data analysis, user interface design, and wellness concepts to create a practical tool that can be used in real-world applications.
