CheckPoint

Our app, CheckPoint, is designed to encourage college students to attend classes and campus events by tracking their walks and attendance. Users earn points for each walk, whether to class, events, or recreational outings, which can be redeemed for rewards within the app. A leaderboard allows for friendly competition throughout entire school. The overall objective is to promote academic success, increase event attendance, and foster a more active, connected campus environment. Students are motivated to be present, involved, and successful.

Our Project

As college students, we understand the struggle regarding motivation and attendance. After using many motivational and wellness apps that didn't seem to do the trick, we wanted to create something that works. Through our research and interviews, we designed a concept for our app, CheckPoint. The Checkpoint app is a dynamic and interactive tool designed to promote student success, wellness, and engagement by tracking walking activity and attendance, awarding points based on attendance completion and distance traveled. These points can be redeemed for rewards across four categories: Coupons, Tickets, Merchandise, and Other.

To further enhance engagement, we’ve introduced a feature specifically for professors and event coordinators. This allows students to scan a unique QR code provided by the administrator to earn bonus points for participating in events or activities, making Checkpoint a valuable tool for both academic and extracurricular involvement. This feature aims to further incentivize attendance for students and create a useful tool for instructors and event coordinators.

For students who enjoy a competitive challenge, the app includes a campus-wide leaderboard where users can see how they rank against others across Indiana University. In addition, students can connect with friends, view each other’s point totals, and even send points to help one another reach their reward goals. Whether you're aiming to stay active, earn great prizes, or build community on campus, Checkpoint offers a fun and rewarding experience for everyone.
