“The 811X Garden Care App”

We designed a Garden App would that would be very "user friendly" and help students/staff. Our App includes a section that gives information about care for the various vegetables/herbs/and flowers that are grown in the school garden. The user would click on the name or picture of a plant and it would list basic plant care information.

Also, our App includes a section about composting in the garden. In this section the user would click on a few different screens that would list names/photos of items that can and cannot be composted. We also have a section that the user clicks on that would provide basic Garden Care Guidelines to keep the garden clean, neat and safe for all students and staff.

In our video and powerpoint presentation you can see the basic design process we followed. Some student were videotaped to explain the steps in the process of our brainstorming and then designing the Garden Care App. One slide shows the brainstorming process, another a sample of questions that students used to interview staff about creating the Garden App. And in subsequent slides the design process on paper sketched out and then on templates in google docs is shown. The project is a work in progress and ongoing.
