Moody's Community Defender Challenge
Challenge Title: (3 -5 word sentence) The Challenge: (a one sentence version and a ≤150 word descriptive paragraph) Become a neighborhood defender! Design a survey tool in the form of a mobile app that helps you solve social, environmental, or accessibility problems in your community. We each can be leaders in our communities and make a difference. First think about all the communities you belong to (your school, neighborhood, clubs, sports teams, religious organizations, etc.). Then pick one and think about how you could best gather survey data from people in this specific community. Consider who they are, their behaviors, what they need or want… Now design an app, with a survey tool in it, that will help you to (a) gather research about the community you chose and (b) think of a project that could positively impact this community. Innovation Submission Guidelines: As an example, you might think about your school community and design a “Creative Commuter” app to learn more about the transportation behaviors of the students and why so many people drive when there are other, less costly options. You could ask survey respondents to share how they get to school and the factors that affect their choice—maybe cost isn’t key but it’s actually schedule flexibility or the need to haul heavy sports equipment. Maybe you’d want to partner with athletic team coaches and captains to get their teams to take the survey, since those students could be good targets to convert from drivers to bikers or walkers (they might appreciate the exercise and are likely to be in good shape!). Use these guidelines to complete your submission:
