Week 2B- Jan. 29

Today in class, we mainly discussed our 10 ideas for apps and worked on a spreadsheet which further elaborated on each idea. We ran into an issue while trying to come up with ideas for a roomie app, so we changed our problem to new college students and living on their own for the first time. Below are screen shots of the spread sheet containing our revised ideas.

We also learned about what an Elevator pitch for an app is, as well as a tribe. An elevator pitch is basically a technique for distilling the product value proposition into a discrete, easy-to-remember, compelling, and repeatable phrase. It is like a mission statement, but has a particular formula and is created in the context of being on a brief elevator ride with your boss or investor. A tribe, in this care is the group of people who are most likely to use the app in which you wish to create.

Homework:
- pick one app and fill out 2 forms digitally together (Tribal Questions and Elevator Pitch forms)
