About EcoClass
EcoClass was created by Anna, 18 years old, Maira, 14 years old and Victor 15 years old from Escola Secundária de Vila Verde.
The app teaches young people how to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
What is your product and who is it for?
An ecological app to teach teenagers how to be more environmentally friendly.
What inspired your idea, and why is it important to you?
The necessity of changing. We decided that we will change the way people think, so they can live on a better Earth, just by doing small changes to their mentality and lifestyle.
How does your product solve the problem?
Our non-ecological society results in countless environmental problems that could be avoided (our problem). So, by teaching ecological habits at a young age, we can change people's mentality. It will be a platform with ecological contents, but in a joyful way. We will add some tasks, in a game, with maps and stages, like we see in the game Candy Crush. Besides, we'll have quizzes, competitions between students and classes, phrases, tips, and so on.
