About
This project was created for Unimelb CISSA's Product-thon 2023, which is a UX hackathon that occurred over 2 days. The theme was 'Design for a not-for-profit organisation.' I was in a group of 4 and we chose Ceres, which is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to build a more sustainable environment. Ceres is an environmental education centre, community garden, urban farm and social enterprise hub spread across four locations.
Problem
Ceres has a significant impact with 61,599 students and 28,403 visitors to their farm. While they have a broad reach, their annual report states that engagement has dropped due to COVID-19 and they are trying to build community engagement.
Overwhelming Website
Their current website is cluttered and overwhelming, disengaging current and potential volunteers.
Time Management
It is a struggle to join events and volunteer due to lack of time.
Event Reminders
A lot of volunteers want event reminders such as a calendar and notifications to remind everything that is happening in that day.
Solution
The aim of this project is to build a mobile app for Ceres which accepts donations and categorises community engagement and volunteering opportunities.
Convenience
Be able to conveniently browse and sign up for communities/volunteer opportunities
Schedule & Notifications
The ability to quickly organise events into a schedule and receive reminders
Detailed Information
There will be detailed information about each opportunity.
