Year 10 Commerce Incursion – App prototype

On Monday 3 June, both Year 10 Commerce classes participated in a commerce incursion on entrepreneurship and evolving our problem-solving skills.

We worked collaboratively in groups, coming up with a problem that required solving. My group and I developed an application (app) for teenage girls that will solve issues caused by society’s expectations and pressure to stay on trends and have a particular appearance to feel accepted within social norms. We produced a prototype of our app that will boost their self-confidence within the contemporary community. Our app has an array of features that assist in young teenage girls’ growth and development, with their uniqueness and individuality, as well as freedom of clothing choices and appearance within this society. Our app effectively solves this problem as it allows young girls to feel they are being supported through their hardships and challenges, by providing them with this platform to talk about their concerns and issues. This can help as teen girls don’t always feel comfortable or confident talking to their parents about certain issues. This app provides them with others who experience similar problems to help each other.

Overall, this app aims to boost teenage girls’ self-confidence through positive reassurances. The incursion was a great experience as it benefits our next upcoming assessment task and will aid us in the skills that are required to complete the task with a high level of accuracy. (Jasmin, Year 10)
