CHALLENGE
Attending academic events can be overwhelming. Information is scattered across different websites, social media pages, and word of mouth. Students often miss updates about schedules, locations, or ticket info, which makes it easy to miss out on events or feel lost.
SOLUTION
A simple, all-in-one app that brings everything together: from event schedules and venue maps to ticket prices and FAQs. Instead of jumping between sources, students can quickly find what they need and plan their week. Whether you’re in Coimbra or Évora, the app helps make the most of the events experience.
RESEARCH
AND INSIGHTS
Initial interviews with students revealed a recurring frustration: key information about academic festivals was often scattered across social media, unofficial websites, and word-of-mouth channels. This fragmentation led to missed events, confusion around scheduling, and poor ticketing experiences.
FLOW
STRUCTURE
The next key steps were wireframing and prototyping, aimed at refining the user flow and testing usability before development. This steps were crucial to turn the abstract structure of the app into simple, low-fidelity layouts for each screen and feature, focusing on where key elements like event filters, schedules, and tickets would go, and how users would interact with them. So the app is divided into three main sections: Events, Tickets, and Updates.
FEATURES
Events
Users start in the Events tab, where they can browse all available events or see the ones they’ve favorited. They can filter events by city, time of year, and other criteria to tailor the experience to their preferences. Once they find an event they want to attend, they select it to proceed to ticket purchase.
Tickets
After purchasing, users can access their Tickets tab to view active tickets as well as tickets from past events. This is also where they validate their tickets when entering the festival.
Updates
After purchasing, users can access their Tickets tab to view active tickets as well as tickets from past events. This is also where they validate their tickets when entering the festival.
