Fit4U
For my integrated product development class, I was in a team of someone else in the School of Information, someone from the Ross Business School, and someone from the Art School. We were able to successfully combine our skill sets to design our final solution, Fit4U. The problem that we were given was to create a product that would increase life control and self-sufficiency during hardships like the COVID pandemic. We started by focusing on motivation which led us to create a product that we hope will increase motivation to workout. In the end, we presented our solution on a website in an online trade show where consumers "bought" their favorite products.
