UON Quest App Concept
Rewards based mobile app supporting student engagement
UONQuest is a mobile app concept that aims to foster a sense of community and collaboration on campus. Through completing individual and team-based quests, students are motivated to increase their attendance, social interactions, and cultural involvement, earning rewards and offers that aim to reduce the barriers and expenses associated with attending university in person.

As part of a Design Thinking Sprint at the University of Newcastle, our team aimed to address the challenges of student attendance and on-campus engagement. Through various design thinking activities, we explored the problem space and identified three core pain points inhibiting regular campus attendance. With a focus on supporting students rather than pressuring them, we developed a mobile app concept that aimed to incentivises active participation in the campus community through rewards and discounts. UONQuest integrates features such as campus navigation and notifications, and a social and cultural platform, providing a practical solution to enhance the campus experience and counter the trend of virtual learning.
