Question

During a holiday in your hometown, you met up with friends you had at school. They heard that you are studying IT and proposed you start a company together, developing applications that can benefit the community, more specifically the elderly who struggles to move around. Although all of you share a passion for IT, only you can program and therefore understand the process involved in developing applications.

Being the caring person that you are, you decide to put your talents to good use and agree to work together with your friends in creating an application for the elderly. You quickly find out that their biggest need is for an ‘errand’ type service that could assist them with anything ranging from picking up their medication at the pharmacy to buying their groceries from their local shop to taking them to their senior citizen gatherings on the other side of town.
You quickly realize that this project will take a lot of your time but can be invaluable to the elderly community of your hometown. You just have two conditions that your friends will have to meet if they wish to engage your services on this project:
1) The project will be completed free of charge and
2) You will take the lead in the development effort.
Varsity will be starting soon for the next semester and as such you will not be able to create the entire errand app. For now, you have decided to focus on creating an application that will allow the elderly to arrange transport for running their errands.
Question 1
Create a presentation, using appropriate software, that you will use to obtain approval from the community to continue with the project. The presentation must be submitted together with your responses to the other questions in the assignment.

Answer 1

To obtain approval for the community project, create a presentation using appropriate software. Identify the target audience, explain the project's purpose and goals, highlight the benefits for the elderly community, address concerns, present a plan, engage the audience, and include a clear call to action. Use visuals and compelling arguments to persuade the community to support the project.
