Allowance

Inspiration

It's never too early to learn how to save!

What it does

PocketPiggy is an Android app that teaches kids financial responsibility in a fun, easy to understand way! By allowing parents to determine their child's allowance based upon completion of chores, even young children begin to understand the value of money. Kids also learn how to budget their income by splitting their allowance between goals that they are saving towards. Once chores have been done for the week, a predetermined amount is "transfered" into the child's account. Don't worry parents, there's no banking info here! This balance is actually an IOU that your child can ask you to redeem. Try it out today and start saving smart!

How we built it

We used Figma to design the UX and Android Studio (Java) to develop the mobile applicatoin.

Challenges we ran into

For 3/4 of our team, this was our first ever hackathon. We had pretty limited experience using Android Studio (and GitHub for some of us), and had to learn the basics along the way. Since none of our team members were in the same place, we also had some communication issues. For example, three of our team members used slightly different layouts while developing the app.
