Via Cidadã
The entire urban transport experience—previously scattered across disparate channels, services, and schedules—unified into a single, seamless application.
THE EVENT
Held in Criciúma, Hackathon Senac integrated hands-on learning across the Systems Analysis & Development undergraduate degree and the Jovem Programador initiative. In an intensive and collaborative atmosphere, participants built innovative solutions for real smart city challenges, transforming ideas into functional prototypes centered on social impact and technical feasibility.
THE PROPOSED CHALLENGE
Students were challenged to identify a pressing real-world issue in the city of Criciúma and engineer an innovative, viable digital solution to address it.
FROM IDEA TO PITCH
Discovery
Analysis of challenges across the city of Criciúma. Among identified issues, the team chose urban mobility as it represented a shared pain point for everyone in the group.
Ideation
Mapping the primary commuting hurdles in the city and brainstorming actionable, innovative digital solutions to overcome them.
Prototyping
Designing end-to-end user flows and high-fidelity interactive prototypes to validate the proposed passenger experience.
Pitch
Preparing and delivering a 5-minute pitch highlighting the core problem, the proposed solution, key differentiators, and the expected civic impact for Criciúma.
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
The strength of the project stemmed from the synergy between participants across varying experience levels, bringing together students from 1st to 4th semester of Systems Analysis & Development alongside members of the Jovem Programador program. During solution design, I worked closely with Alencar Prior and José Vitor S. Santos. We also benefited from the mentorship of Erick Monteiro (5th semester ADS), who guided development and helped refine our proposal.
MY CONTRIBUTIONS
I actively contributed to every stage of the project lifecycle, from initial problem framing to the final pitch presentation, taking direct ownership of key deliverables.
