Description: The team proposed Shopee GO, a new feature that capitalizes on the resurgence of outdoor activities stemming from the improving COVID-19 situation in Singapore and allows users who are out and about to find nearby deals and maximise their savings. A high-fidelity UI/UX prototype of the feature was developed using Figma, taking into account entry points for user flows, seamlessness of the user journey, and consistency with the existing Shopee app. The team beat over 700 participating teams to clinch the 1st runner-up position.
