Details

Project: Human City aims to create a comprehensive care cooperative on its platform, designed to support individuals at all stages of life within a self-reliant community. The goal is to develop a digital solution that facilitates the organization and management of care services, ranging from childcare to eldercare, ensuring accessibility and sustainability. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of community development, digital platform design, and user experience to create a prototype that addresses the needs of diverse community members. The challenge is to integrate various care services into a cohesive system that promotes self-reliance and mutual support among users. By focusing on a digital platform, the project seeks to enhance community engagement and resource sharing, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and interconnected community.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a functional prototype of the care cooperative platform, complete with user interface designs and basic functionality for service organization and management. Additionally, a report detailing the platform's design process, user feedback, and potential improvements will be required. The team will also prepare a presentation to showcase the prototype and its benefits to the community, highlighting how it fosters self-reliance and mutual support.
