About this project

What you'll build: A simple mobile app that counts your daily steps using your phone's built-in motion sensors. You'll see your step count update as you walk, and your daily total will be clearly displayed.

Why it's a good starter: This project is small and focused, making it perfect for beginners. You'll get hands-on experience with real phone features, but every step is guided and achievable-no prior app experience needed!

What you'll learn: You'll discover how to access phone sensors, update app screens in real time, and build a basic but useful health app. By the end, you'll understand how apps interact with phone hardware and how to test your work.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a screenshot or photo of your development environment set up (code editor and Expo CLI working), plus a brief outline (1-2 paragraphs) of your app's main screen and step counter goal. This shows you're ready to start building and understand the project's aim.

2. Core Build: Sensor Access & Step Counting

30 marks 10d

Submit working code that reads motion sensor data and logs (prints) step counts to the console. Provide a screenshot of your app running, showing live sensor data. This milestone proves you can get step data from the phone.

3. Core Build: User Interface & Daily Reset

30 marks 10d

Submit code and a screenshot showing your app displaying the live step count on screen. Include a daily reset feature (step count returns to zero each day). This demonstrates you can present sensor data in a user-friendly way.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Submit a short checklist or table of your testing (e.g., different devices, walking vs. shaking), plus screenshots showing app appearance and correct counting. Fix any bugs and tidy the interface. This milestone ensures your app works smoothly.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Submit a 2-minute demo video (or a series of annotated screenshots) showing the app in use, and a short (half-page) report describing what you learned and any challenges faced. This milestone confirms you can explain and showcase your work.
