OurMap is a mobile application designed to connect individuals with their communities and incentivize outdoor physical activity. The application consists of a shared map on which users may place markers on particular locations to share experiences.

In our current world, being isolated indoors is advised for the good of public health. But these conditions are not new. Our COVID-19-induced isolation has exacerbated concerns of health (e.g. obesity, lack of physical activity) and disconnection from the world. OurMap hopes to tackle this issue by incentivizing outdoor physical activity with a unique manner of social interaction. Users can not just populate a map with memories, stories, pictures, and observations of particular locations, but they can view the experiences of others placed on the map in their immediate proximity. With OurMap, users of all ages and backgrounds can engage with their communities in a new way and find a reason to stay active.
