Original Prompt

design your own social media app based on your interests

In this activity, students assume the role of app developers tasked with designing their own social media application. They will analyze existing social media apps by examining their key features, target audiences, and purposes. The activity encourages students to identify underserved communities or interests, prompting them to brainstorm innovative app ideas that could fill these gaps. Through structured steps, students will create user personas to define their target audience, outline the unique value their app will offer, and plan essential features. They will also sketch the main screen design, ensuring a user-friendly navigation experience while considering accessibility and engagement elements. Additionally, students will outline community guidelines and a monetization strategy, critically evaluate their app based on innovation and feasibility, and reflect on design choices and their potential impact on users and communities. This project aims to develop students' understanding of digital design principles, user experience, and real-world applicability of technology solutions.
