Kahoot Game in Elementary Schools

Overview

Regarding the spreading of the pandemic worldwide, we found it is important to raise the juvenile’s awareness of the situation in elementary schools. To achieve this goal in a fun and attractive way, we created a Kahoot! game. Kahoot! is an online game-based questionnaire platform that made it possible for us to deliver the idea in an entertaining way.

The schoolteachers who helped us declared that the game was very exciting and educational, and that the children were interested in it and learned a lot.



We reached out to three elementary schools:



Surveys

The aim of our project is to flatten the curve of COVID-19 infection by creating a gel-typed OTC (Over-The-Counter) product meant for external application. As a para-pharmaceutical product, the product needs to comply with the relevant FDA regulations. But for it to become popular and worthwhile, it also needs to meet the costumers’ desires and expectations. With these goals in mind, we published two surveys. The goal of the first survey was to shape our product according to the needs and preferences of consumers. The second one was aimed to hear the voices of the customers about specific details of the project.

Results of the first survey

According to the results of the first survey, we deduced that our potential consumers were willing to use such a product as we intended to create (68%). Most of the respondents admitted that they were not very good with acquiring new habits (76%), as applying new external-use product. But they proclaimed to be better at it when an important issue is in hand (83%).

Most of the potential users declared that they will probably use such a product more than 2-3 times a day (55%). They desired the product to be delivered as a cream (more than 80%) or a spray (47%) over gloves (24%) or masks (21%), according to a multiple-choice question. In addition, a washable product was found to be more popular (73%).

The respondents are willing to pay 15 dollars for 10 uses (54%). Currently, we cannot estimate the cost of our product, but measures are taken to make it as affordable as possible.
