Business Idea:
A daily interactive app delivering quick STEM and engineering challenges to sharpen the minds of students, professionals, and enthusiasts—making learning fun, engaging, and habit-forming.
Problem:
Many individuals interested in STEM struggle to find consistent, bite-sized challenges that keep their skills sharp without overwhelming them—leading to decreased motivation and skill erosion over time.
Solution:
A simple, intuitive app that provides one short, diverse STEM or physics problem each day, encouraging regular practice and continuous learning in a quick, habit-forming manner similar to popular games like Wordle.
Target Audience:
Students preparing for exams, engineering professionals, hobbyists, lifelong learners, and anyone interested in maintaining or improving their technical problem-solving skills.
Monetization:
Freemium model offering free daily challenges with optional paid features such as advanced problems, personalized progress tracking, and community features; potential for future subscription tiers or sponsored content.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Combines the gamification of daily challenges with a focus on technical STEM problems, targeting a niche of problem-solvers who want quick, engaging mental workouts—differentiating from broader educational apps.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimal viable product—the daily challenge feature—and gather user feedback. Build a waitlist to create anticipation. Promote through relevant communities like Reddit, engineering forums, and student groups. Iterate based on early user input to refine UX and problem variety.
