CODE A RAMADAN APP
Theme: Technology of the Future
Mission:
Every Ramadan, millions of Muslims around the world rely on apps to track prayer times, plan iftar meals, read Quran, and stay connected with their community. But there’s always room for a better app! Your mission is to imagine and plan your very own Ramadan app — one that solves a problem you’ve noticed or makes the holy month even more special for your family and community.

Let’s Get Started!
Think about your own Ramadan experiences. What’s something that could be easier, more fun, or more connected? Talk to family members about what they wish they had.
Define your app idea in one sentence: “My app helps Muslims _____ during Ramadan.”
Sketch 3-4 screens of your app on paper. What does the home screen look like? What happens when you tap each button?
Think about who would use your app. Kids? Parents? The whole family? How would you make it work for them?
Give your app a creative name and design an app icon for it!
