For the benefit of everyone
Project Overview
Duration: 7weeks
Brief: Research an issue/opportunity and further invest into it to transform it into a solution project.
Goal: Develop an app tailored to all demographics that fundamentally encourages them to get out, get fit, and become more self-sufficient in the sense of knowing where to find alternative kai rather than purchasing store-bought processed kai, whilst also educating themselves on Aotearoa’s native flora in an interactive entertaining way.

- Opening and closing karakia not only to respect and honour but to also appreciate where kai comes from (sorry to break it but not from a box)
- Use cases/recipes ranging from pasta dishes to crafting and further technical info for each individual native plant.
- A camera with plant recognition abilities
- Gamified UI aspects to encourage engagement
- Rewarding system to enable accomplishment feeling
