Overview: I worked with my team to design an app that would reduce/eliminate voter suppression, in relation to the recent 2020 presidential election.
Goal: To create an app as a group that would eliminate the possibility of voter suppression
Time Allotted: 2 weeks
Main Role: Storyboard Editor
Process:
Rapid brainstorming at design sprint… and then we all presented our ideas. (mine was selected) 🙂
My idea: USPS app type tracking with FAFSA protocols/collaboration.
This tracking system would make lines reduced and thus eliminate voter suppression. This would digitally ensure that one has voted and their vote was successful. The app would also notify them of potential problems such as wrong spelling etc. and confirmation as well that their vote was counted. With the collaboration of FAFSA, the mailing system would be more secure and federally backed up in the case of tampering. This would also mean access to FAFSA’s data which includes, population, income, ethnicity per school district in every state and city making voters statistics even more accurate.
I then chose the role of Storyboard Editor to further visualize my idea in sketches and help make the presentation more accurate to the intended original idea.
