#BuiltByGirls is a brand that seeks to equip young women to be leaders in Tech by setting them up with advisors who are professionals in the Tech Industry. Although the advisors are keen to help, differences in age and experience can lead to issues with communication, and lack of face-to-face time tends to cause a decrease in engagement from the advisees.
Our goal is to create a professional community that will allow the young women to connect with their advisors on a new level, as well as connect with other young women who they share similar interests with.
Articulo is an article-sharing app that allows you to read what those who inspire you read.
Users choose their interests which helps us curate articles, and suggest new people they can connect with. We want to expand the one on one mentoring #BuiltByGirls already has, into a larger community .
The tech industry is expansive, and we wanted Articulo to cater to more than just coders. Thus we give users the options to explore leadership, design, and business.
If the advisors or advisees find an article that they believe would be beneficial to their followers, they can easily share the content within the app.
Every share comes with an insight/opinion. Articulo puts the focus on why one should read the article. What value does the article bring?
All articles can be read within the in app browser. We give the users the option to bookmark articles, for easy accessibility in the future. If the user finds the article interesting, they have the ability to re-share the article. Once you re-share an article, you add your own insight, that will be displayed to your personal followers. We wanted to allow everyone to add their own insights so the young women know that their thoughts and opinions are just as valuable as those of professionals.
Our goal is to create a welcoming professional community that will help bridge the gap of experience, age, and identity between advisors and advisees. We are hoping our app will inspire young women to find their place in the tech industry.
