Starky Youth Apps Challenge 2016

1. STARKY
By: Alex Tran, Ravi Khampradith, and Sam Yun

2. Target Consumer & Problem Addressed
Our application appeals to
students, their parents, and
teachers.
It addresses the lack of
communication that occurs
every day in school.

3. Our Mission
With this app, we aim to strengthen the student/parent-
teacher connection/understanding.

4. The Problems
Students often get the grade that they do not want because
of the lack of communication between themselves and
their teachers.
Some students are also afraid of asking questions in front of
their classmates.
Students and parents sometimes miss important events
and news if they do not have emails.

5. The Question
How can we ensure that students achieve the goals they set
for themselves through an app that strengthens
communication in schools?

7. Our team, STARKY, is developing a school communication
application to help students, their parents, and teachers
understand each other more. We want students to obtain
the grades they want by making it more convenient to
privately message their teachers online without sharing their
phone numbers. Additionally, our application will allow
support for video lessons and the ability to see deadlines and
turn in files.

8. User Analysis
While developing this application, we learned that students
often get a grade that they did not expect to acquire
because of their misinterpretation of the instructions. This
misunderstanding is caused by two common factors: their
fear of asking questions out loud, or the difficulty of
reaching their teachers in time.

17. Statistics
Through our surveys with students and teachers, we learned that…
● After school, some teachers do not wish to communicate with
their students.
● Many students receive lower grades due to misunderstandings.
● More than half of the students in a classroom are afraid to ask
questions out loud.
Some problems we may face when trying to release the application
are…
● The chances of STARKY gaining visibility are low.
● There may be glitches when running the application, lowering our
reputation.
● Our competitors have applications that are much more
aesthetically pleasing, so if our target audiences judge our
application by its looks, we would most likely not get any
downloads.
