“NYC School Restroom”

Our app was made for bathroom access during classroom instruction—making it faster for ALL students to enter without a line—eliminating pass conflict and giving control to everybody who needs to use the facilities throughout the day. The design process involved speaking to teachers and their needs when giving out bathroom (counselor) passes to students in addition to speaking to students who always feel they are not given enough attention (time) when they need to go to the bathroom or see a counselor.

The project (app), if it could be built, would be a phone app—for staff and students—which would allow them to see who is at a particular bathroom/office in order to better plan a pass request so that they can efficiently and effectively manage their time. Lastly, the app. could, in case of emergency/lockdowns, allow pedagogues to know the location of students out of the room(s) to ensure their safety.
