Day 3: Youth Tech Camp | Mobile App Development

28/11/12
Day 3: Youth Tech Camp | Mobile App Development

And today the good people of Bright Path Foundation announced which six app's we will actually design and launch on Friday. And Food for thot is one of the six apps to be developed. This is a very exciting achievement for me personally and the rest of the team was overwhelmed as well. A slight moment of sadness for the team because we have been divided into different groups now - Developers, Designers and content. Shareen has joined forces with the Development elite :-) While Micheal is drawing with his design team. I felt stranded and a little alien because I was in the content team with 8 new people. At first I thought the idea I had is going to be bulldozed but the members of the group were very helpful. They worked together with me and shared useful feedback. 

We went into the City after lunch and divided ourselves into pairs. We covered four categories of restaurants: Local/Fijian, Indian, Oriental and Fast Food.
We approached approximately 15 restaurant owners and received positive response from 12.
At present our database has:
1) Natural Blends (MHCC)

2) JJ's Takeaway (At the market)
3) Maya Dhaba (Victoria Parade and MHCC)
4) Curry Hosue (Waimanu Road)
5) Ashiyana (Victoria Parade)
6) Vine Yard Palace (Victoria Parade)
7) Korea House (Waimanu Road)
8) Tui B. (At the Market)
9) Chopsticks (Renwick Road)
10) Jodys (Central Suva)
11) McDonalds (Central Suva)
12) Chicken Express (Mid City Mall)
13) Wishbone and Pizza King (Central Suva and Sports City)

It has been a great experience collecting the content and tabulating it  but it has been tiring as well. We have slotted the Restaurants into the different categories. 
For homework we have to follow up with a few more restaurants and also put all these information into tables. 
Some changes were required for the wire frame since the app will not do what we initially pitched :-) 

So it has been a very productive day for the team.

Until next blog. . .
