About this Project:
John F. Kennedy Jr. School is a District 75 school in Elmhurst, New York. The students apart of the project are in a 12:1:1 work study based class focusing on ADL (Activities of Daily Living) skills in order to gain self or supportive employment once graduated from our program. This app will help focus on communication and organizational skills and independence. Through the app it will have a built in interactive component that independent travelers can use to inform schools of delays on the transit system and report if they are going to be late of absent. A notification will generate and be sent to their class instructor and administration team. Along with the app, it will have a CNN mobile feel where work study classes focusing on clerical and publications (writing articles, conducting interviews, and giving information on events and new happening within the school). This will help parents become more involve in school events, see progress their child is making reflecting ADL IEP goals. We feel this design can help all district 75 schools and build a new form of work study classes while incorporating new skills learned such as, video editing, photography, and filming.

Feedback from the Judges:
The storyboarding for the detailing of how the app would work is great! It reminds me of the gps app Waves where drivers can inform other drivers of accidents, slow downs, and speed traps, etc. This would greatly improve the commute of students. Great job!
What a great video! You all should be very very proud of yourselves. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to view this and be a part of judging your work. Great job!!

I enjoyed the editing done by the kid and I also encourage him to keep editing as a carrier or as a hobby. I also enjoyed that the information was very clear and not over explained.

My question is does not only the student but do all teacher staff in the school have acsess to it or do other oraganization have ascess to it also. Also the apps seems to be great this seem like it could really help the school and and the communication skill of all the kids.

Angelysse 👏 a High School Student from Queens
This looks so entertaining and fun!
Diana 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from New York City
Wow, this is an INCREDIBLE idea! This app would allow students to be more independent, communicate with the school as they would a future employer about lateness or absence, gives interested kids a chance to develop and contribute to projects they are interested in, and allows parents to become involved in a whole new level. Phenomenal on so many levels!
Jessica 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from Queens
👏🏼 Great concept for an app. Keep up the amazing work!
Vivian N 👏 a Parent and/or Guardian from South Ozone Park
This project is a testament that with support, guidance and encouragement, students in District 75 have the ability to utilize EdTech to develop a tool which stands to strengthen their ability to become more self-sufficient and possibly be funneled into the economic mainstream to become less dependent.
Ms. O 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from LIC
This sounds like a really helpful app! Great idea that will encourage students to communicate and prepare when traveling!

Tess 👏 a Community Member from New York
The sooner young minds learn to communicate and interact effectively, the more prepared they are in their adult lives - and this app is an excellent tool to assist in that.
This app addresses challenges on multiple fronts. Because communications are in real-time, standardized, and transparent, the app allows students to communicate their presence in a consistent manner without having verbal messaging lost across school offices or professionals. It will reduce the confusion as to who will be in the classroom or not, and allows teachers to focus on the tasks at hand without distraction. Those who need to know the latest update, will have the information they need at their fingertips.
From the newsletter perspective of the app, students can work together with their peers (teachers, parents, and students alike) at various staging steps to input their content for the newsletter. This thought-provoking aspect of the app lets students see their creation from the start of the project to finish when content is posted, just as showcased in, for example, the video editing sequence - instilling/building upon independence, confidence, and problem-solving skills that over time will become stronger and more-so second nature. (If it's fun too, then why not?)
Overall, the app is an excellent idea! It's inspiring!

I love this idea!

Love this! Well done 721Q. I wish we had this at our school.
Christine Schutt 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from Queens College Inclusion Program
We will definitely use this app for our independent travelers instead of the current app we use to communicate with our students. Students reporting their lateness or absence is essential to promote independence for themselves. We support you!
Ms. E 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from 721Q @ 269
Students look really invested in this app! I appreciate that students can use their technology and communication skills on a regular. The interactive interviewing component is helpful for those students unable to read in the traditional sense.
Barb Sweeney, OT 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator
This is fantastic! Congratulations and I look forward to seeing more on your app!
👏 a Teacher and/or Educator
I love that this app is a digital tool available to students for vital information easily accessible. Today lots of young people engage with their technology more than they do with other forms of information or media like going to a subway map in the station, listening to announcements, or asking an MTA employee for help. By having this available on their smartphone they have everything they need to be safe instantly and at their fingertips!
Marguerite Reilly, Speech 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator
This is a great tool for students. Great job everyone 👏
Taylor 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from NYC DOE
It is so exciting to see young minds collaborate for a greater purpose. I am hopeful that the students continue to work hard to refine this app and develop more in the future!
Kalman 👏 a Teacher and/or Educator from District 75
This is ane an App that can be used by students throughout the DOE and would be a model for other school systems. It addresses a vital need.

As a software engineer, I think it is really great that our youth are having opportunities to learn more about building, creating and designing apps. I wish that I had something like this when I was in school.
