Anti-Algorithm Designathon App
[Project Overview]
In this designathon we were tasked with building a product that embraces anti-algorithm in today's society. We had 2 hours to brainstorm and design a product that serves this purpose.
[Problem Statement]
Undo control over lyfe!
In a world dominated by personalization algorithms, our choices—and even our joy—are increasingly filtered and predicted. This control stifles spontaneity and limits the possibility of unexpected, meaningful moments. How might we create experiences that reject algorithmic influence and instead embrace randomness, human spontaneity, and the thrill of the unknown?
WE WON FIRST PLACE :)
Faculty were judges and 100% were impressed by our prototyping skills

Prioritize Well-Being Over Engagement
Shifts focus away from endless scrolling toward mindful, meaningful human moments.
Foster Empathy Through Shared Journeys
