About the challenge
Welcome to MAC's first ever product design hackathon! You will have about 28 hours to brainstorm, ideate and design a digital product that solves the problem statement we will provide you with.
We do not expect for the whole product to be designed, instead only a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that can be showcased!
Problem Statement
“Our society has a huge problem - we are chronically online and there are a plethora of social, physical and mental problems which arise as a result.
We need to find a way to fight technology WITH technology.
We need you to design a digital solution which helps us tip the scales thereby encouraging us to spend our time online more mindfully and address the issue of digital overload.”
Requirements
