Activity 5

Create a basic and user-friendly app interface to help people navigate public transport in an Indian city.
Steps for the Task:
1. Understand the Problem:

4. Sketch the App:
l Draw rough designs of how the app will look (Students can use Canva/PPT):
° Home screen with a search bar.

° A map screen showing routes.
° Settings for language and accessibility.
5. Make a Prototype:
l Use paper or simple tools like Canva/PPT to create a mock-up of the app.
6. Test and Improve:
l Show your design to friends or classmates and ask if they find it easy to use.

l Make changes based on their feedback.
7. Present Your Work:
l Share your sketches and explain the app’s features and how it helps users.
Example Features:
l A search bar to find the nearest bus/train.

l Real-time location updates for buses or trains.
