One of the problems in school is that scenarios - even PBL scenarios -- are not authentic. So business classes can end up making banal products that sell to family and friends based on sympathy rather than actual use.
What to do?
Well you could start here and learn how to make a real product - an app in this case. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/06/18/how-to-make-an-app_n_3459886.html
Yes maybe it sounds crazy. But why not? A lot of new businesses start with a crazy idea and a lot of conviction. Could students do this too?
Why not try!
