Team Project

Overview

Introduction + The Problem

The Drexel CHI Design Slam is an annual event that the club holds, where members group up to design something that can solve the prompted problem within one hour. At the 2025 Design Slam, Nick was placed into 1 of the 4 groups, where he would work along 3 other people. The prompt was to create a long term solution that could help those with little to no disposable income to still be able to go out.

Goals

Nick and group members Joshua, Mony, and Maayan aimed to solve the problem. They would create visual aids and do research to create a slideshow that would pitch their solution.

Process

As soon as the timer began, Nick proposed his idea to the group, with them all agreeing to use it. Each group member then worked on developing a different aspect of the idea on a deeper level. Nick then put together everything in one slideshow.

Development

Solving the Problem

Nick’s solution was based off of an app he uses regularly called TooGoodToGo, an app that hosts hundreds of restaurants selling heavily discounted surprise bags of food that would otherwise be thrown out. He believed this same logic could be applied to event tickets, selling seats on discount that would otherwise be empty.

Workflow

Since he had come up with the idea, Nick stepped up to a leadership role in the group. While he was creating the slideshow, he would talk with other group members about more specific details of TickGo! to develop the idea.

Evolution

Discussions with group members were incredibly helpful in development, as each member bounced off of each other and created new aspects that fleshed out the app.

Results

Final Product

The final presentation consisted of the proposal, 4 low fidelity wireframes, and the addressing of logistical considerations. Out of 4 groups, TickGo! won the competition and the presentation/pitch stand out award.

Reflection

Nick is quite pleased with how the project went. He has debated continuing the development of TickGo!, and may revisit it at some point. He believes that he and his group were truly able to develop his idea into something great.
