The De-BoredinatorBy Lewis, Olivia, Mark and Cara

Who? People who are bored and need something to do. Anyone who is

bored can use the app, regardless of age.

What? The app would have categories to chose from (e.g. Outside games,

Cooking, Indoor Games and Challenges) . There would also be

sections where you can choose task by how it takes to do them (on

average). You can also get a random task by spinning a wheel.

When? When the user of the app is bored and has nothing to do, or when

they want a challenge, or when they want something to do with

friends.

Where? Wherever the person is bored. There would be tasks for outside, or

inside.

Why? Because it is a problem people encounter on a daily basis and we

want to solve this. By creating this app, we can make this happen.

You get bored very easily

and have nothing

entertaining to do. The

app could solve this by

giving you something to

do. The app, unlike

gaming apps, could be

used for a long time. This

is because if it was

updated regularly there

would be a lot of tasks,

and you will always be

bored sometimes, but you

can finish a game and it

might not be fun anymore.

The Problem

What Core Question are we Addressing?

The Core Question we are

addressing is ‘How can we help

People overcome their Boredom?’

We want to address this problem

because as teens we know people

struggle with this and we want to

provide them an answer.

Key Insights Gained in Scoping

We gained many valuable insights from our

scoping process. We found that people get bored

easily, and often one reason that accounts for this

is the fact that they don’t know what to do to stop

being bored. The De-Boredinator can provide a

way for people to stop being bored by combatting

this problem.

Mini Elevator Pitch

My team, The Sassy

Gators, is developing a

mobile app, the De-

Boredinator, to help

everyday people cure

their boredom with

adjustable categories and

task lengths

User feedback

We intergrated a very good idea from

Lewis’ questionnaire that was making

categories for the task that will be done.

There will now be categories for the time

length and the type of task you want to do

(e.g. Outdoors, Cooking)

The De-Boredinator prototype was made by the two girls in

the group, Cara and Olivia. It was made using powerpoint.

De-Borediantor Prototype

These screeenshots show some of the features of the app. It

would have categories for things and time. The screenshots

shown here show results for the cooking category with

things < two hours

We think that the deboredinator will be able to be made. One feature that maybe

hard to make would be the fact that it has to give random tasks, although this

could be overcome by it only reading off a list – seemingly at random. This could

be sussed out if the app was being used by a group of friends.
