The Task
Set by the Leicesterhire Council. In groups of 4 to design an Anti-Bullying App for children between the age of 8-16.
The Outcome
We decided to focus our target market of our App to Secondary School children from the ages 11-16. We wanted to focus it more on cyber-bullying, like social networking sites and online bullying. We designed our app to help or advise the children. We worked with keeping it anonymous, so you could create your own character to personalise your App. We also had a diary option so you could record your day and emotions and re-visit them back at a later date. Along with that option we also had a message board which only members of the council could reply to, so its being monitored. Our main option for our app is the 'Block Them' feature, which allows children to block contacts from their phone and social networking sites to prevent unnecessary cyber-bullying.
