The Goal:

Create a prototype android mobile app for users of a climate change software product we are building.

The Climate Change Product

We are in the design and planning phase of a new climate change impact planning software product (related to "UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts"). The product will recommend a set of actions that ordinary citizens can take to avoid, mitigate, adapt, or rebuild from climate change disasters. The initial focus is specifically on coastal erosion, flooding, and sea-level rise impacts.

The Mobile App

We need a mobile application that allows ordinary citizens to view actions they can take, track their progress, complete tasks, and upload proof (pictures and videos). They can also chat and request help from trusted authorities.

The mobile app will be a prototype that helps us identify the actual mobile app requirements and design, and desired user experience.

Some suggested content and features will be provided at the start of the project.

The only real requirements are:

1) The app must work on popular phones using Android 9 Pie (or later)

2) We must be able to distribute the app via our website and/or email

3) Whatever solution you deliver and technical libraries you use must be compatible with the Apache 2.0 licence.

Ultimately the content, layout, and technology are up to you - use your creativity!

Your Contribution

Use your skills and creativity to design and build the Android app. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

The mobile app will be released under the open source Apache 2 licence which enables others (including yourselves) to use it for any purpose, with attribution. You will be able to showcase this app in your portfolio should you wish.
