Brief
During this week we were tasked with designing a solution to the think factory project. How might we create a different way for developing teenagers to interact with each other in a physical space in order for teenagers to develop healthy styles that will benefit them physically, mentally and socially both now and in their futures. Using this question I designed a solution for both during lock down and after.

Application
The app I have created has a simple concept behind it, get people to be active by giving them gratification from helping people around the world. My application asks sponsors to start events and have users run to build up funds from both donations as well from the sponsor themselves.

Project time frame
1,5 weeks
World Marathon Club
The application follows the material design rules and uses the colour scheme of yellow and grey's this can be seen as neutral this means that both the male and female parts of my target audience have been catered for. 

Features
- Training plans for marathons
- Shareable achievements 
- A running data tracker
Sponsors and socials
Sponsors who create events set out a target that they would like to reach or donate but will if people make up the km's through running. This means that the social aspect of the app plays an important role it allows people to break away from the isolation faced during lock down. Another means that these drives can be shared through is social media the application makes use of an achievement system that people can share to Instagram, Facebook and twitter this not only means more traffic to the app but also more donation and more people getting fit on a digital community.
What happens after Covid-19
Even though my application was created during lock down to help assist people in need as well as benefit people who spend access amounts of time in front of a screen. My solution to the problem allows it continue after this pandemic it will allow other associations to start events and get people motivated to help those in need.
Thank you :P
