We as people, especially our generation Z, have been known to have a huge amount of influence in advocating. All over social media, you can see so many people of the younger generation expressing their thoughts on important subjects and creating awareness to major problems. But the problem lies within that statement: most people will not be interested in a topic unless it becomes “a trend” on social media. Our group wanted to create something that gives people the opportunity to not just follow whatever problem is biggest right now, but what they themselves believe is an important thing that needs their support. That’s why we created our app Involved, where a person can freely look through different groups and activist topics, as well as find ways to get involved and do more than just comment on a trending post that someone made. As our whole group had little to no experience with the creation of apps, it was definitely a struggle as well as a great learning experience. The information we needed to build our app wasn’t something you could just find a 5 minute tutorial on, so we spent a lot of time combing through FAQs and instructional videos, all while figuring out techniques and features by ourselves. In all, we are satisfied with our end result and hope to continue to develop our skills by further building and getting more experienced with the processes of app-building.
