Spongee

How can we encourage college students to clean their dirty dishes?

My Role: 

Design Research, UX design

Our Solution: 

Spongee, a sponge holder that tracks how many dishes each roommate dirties and washes through Bluetooth technology. When one roommate isn't doing their fair share of dishes, Spongee reminds them through text alert. From Spongee's classy bowtie to an upbeat chime acknowledging when a sponge has been taken from Spongee's mouth, Spongee makes washing dishes a delightful experience!
