What would social media look like if it supported your definition of democracy?
A Social Media App Design by Wendy, 15, that supports her definition of democracy: Everyone has an equal right to vote and to say how they would like the country to be managed. It's a system where each person's opinion should be heard.

Based on the rough sketch above.

If social media was a person with a social media bio, what would it look like?
Where your minutes...turns into hours ⏰
A profile of an extrovert outgoing and talkative person like comedian Kevin Heart. The Design Challenge was done on a WhatsApp call between two friends, Hugo and Wendy (GenZ designers), and Iske (a non-GenZ facilitator and mockup designer). Hugo and Wendy co-wrote this bio.

Does Social media make it easier or more difficult for people to agree?
I want to add a Covid related example: when we enter the class our teacher said we need to sit apart due to new variant of Covid. One learner said it is getting worse based on a big social media page with cool followers, and good references. Others, without social media, said it’s not that bad based on news only. Opinions differ depending on the medium.
Hugo's thoughts on Wendy's app
“The idea of adding warning labels to content, like Strong Language Content or Trauma Content is really good idea.” - Hugo, 15
