ROBONERDS FLL PROJECT
GAME CHANGERS - REPLAY
ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑ:
This year's theme of the competition gave us the opportunity to look for the reasons why people are not involved enough in fitness and sports.
ΙΩΣΗΦΙΝΑ
We started with an internet research to find more information about that.
We already knew a lot of problems that could be the reasons why people do not exercise.
But we had to make the problem more specific.
We found a lot of articles, studies and researches on the subject.

We asked our friends, our teachers and our classmates if they play sports or excercise and if not what is the problem.
Also we talked to our coaches at school.
We created a questionnaire and we communicated it to the public through the school's social media pages and by e-mails.

We collected 272 answers, that referred as problems :
-
the lack of time,
-
work for many hours,
-
the use of the internet in free time,
-
financial problems that do not allow to pay for gyms and clubs.
-
no motivation.

Many answers also referred to the fact that in their free time they prefer to go for a walk in the city with friends.
ΙΩΣΗΦΙΝΑ
Based on those answers our team had many ideas:
-
Fitness equipment in public places (Michalis)
-
(there are already new designs in our city, but they are not used)
-
Electronic game and gymnastics (George Ch.)
-
(we found too many that already exist)
-
Personal fitness tool to work out wherever you want (George Klados.)
-
(there are many, quite advanced technology)
-
Step counter to collect points and gifts (Josephine)
-
(there are various applications)
-
Ping pong sport for the blind (John)
-
(already exists)
-
Sports and tour in our city (Vangelis + George Kapetanakis)
-
(we did not find anything similar anywhere)

We loved the idea of Sports and Tour in our city, as there is nothing that combines fitness and tour in Greece.
But to conclude what exactly we could create we spoke with Mr. Iniotakis Petros, Engineer, municipal councilor of Heraklion. He is also one of the strong supporters of "I move and I exercise".
Mr Iniotakis told us that the Municipality offers free rental of bicycles from a specific point in our city, but the citizen of Heraklion does not use it either for sports or for traffic relief.
He also found excellent, our idea to combine sport with a tour of our city.

FINAL IDEA:
We thought of joining:
-
City tour
-
Cycling
-
No cost
-
Internet use
-
Fun
-
Motivation
so we created a mobile application that motivates the citizens of our city to use the bicycles of the Municipality and at the same time to exercise, to get to know the monuments and sights of our city and have a motivation.
Designing an application was something we could all work on together from home with zoom appointments, since our school was closed due to quarantine.

We designed and created the Explore Bike application through MIT App Inventor
The design of the application was a good reason to learn the App inventor very well. We design our application's logo and we make the graphics.
Also we start creating a website for our team using wordpress. From this site we want to promote our idea and our App.

Teams ideas:
Our application is suitable for ages over 16 years, as it requires the use of facebook
Now we would like to show you how to use our app.

As motivation users can earn free parking cards in our city
We have positive answers for free services by owners of big parkings of our Municipality as sponsors of our application.
WE SHARE OUR APP AND WE MADE MANY IMPROVEMENTS AFTER FEEDBACKS:
Because of quarantine we shared our application last month with the help of our parents, to their friends and through their social networks.
We continue to improve it based on feedback until today.
We make it easier to use.
We add instructions.
We add more routes and monuments.
ALSO WE STILL WORKING ON NEW IMPROVEMENTS:
We have contact 2 important archaeologists of our city to help us write the history of each monument and to include unknown data for each of them.
We contact with the developer Mr. Marinakis to find a solution to upload videos of the routes that users will record to a website (instead of a photo).
We are translating our app in English lanquage for visitors from other countries.
And we want to add voice to our app for users with vision problems.
- Our goal is the app to be adopted by our Municipality and
become a daily habit for the user.
HERE WE HAVE THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE IN OUR WEBSITE
