Team WiSci presents our comprehensive alarm clock app in the 2013 Technovation Competition.

1. CharmAlarm
An innovative alarm app designed by WiSci Girls

Center for Advanced Studies, Wheeler High School, Marietta, GA

2. About Us
 WiSci - Women in Science
 We are here to introduce a new app
that will help people wake up when they
need to and ensure that they do not go
back to sleep

3. About the CharmAlarm
 The charm alarm can be customized, allowing users
to choose from a variety of alarm sounds.
 Users can choose to turn the the puzzle/math option
on or off and they can also choose the difficulty level
of the puzzles. Every time the user gets the puzzle
wrong or hesitates for too long, a buzzer will sound
and a bright blue light will flash. After 10
seconds, another puzzle will show and the process
will repeat.
 If the user does not get the puzzle right after 3
tries, the sound will change to a more soothing
sound and the app will recite items listed on the to-
do-list for that day.

4. About the CharmAlarm (cont.)
 If the user decides to disregard the puzzle/math
options, the background noise will turn on with the
alarm. There will be a button to turn off the
sounds, however when a person presses this, the blue
light will turn on and the phone will read out tasks
listed on your calendar for that day.
 The longer the user takes to disarm the alarm, the
louder the songs will play. The songs can last for a
preset amount of time. This will help the user know
how much time he/she has to get ready.
 The user interface is very comprehensible and easy to
use. It is very easy to create a new alarm UI, and to
change the settings.

5. Market Research
 CharmAlarm is designed for high school and college students.
 These two age groups suffer from the most sleep deprivation due to stress
and homework.
 50% of high school students and 95% of college students own a smartphone.
Due to these large percentages, we believe that our app can reach a large
proportion of our target audience.
 According to WebMD, blue light may interfere with sleep, so incorporating
blue light into the alarm app would better help the user to wake up

6. Marketing and Sales
 We will market our app using social networking sites and ask colleges to
advertise with us.
 The app will be free, but a more advanced version with more options will cost
$0.99
 The paid version will include a calendar, news, and more options for puzzles and
math problems.
 We plan on completing the app and allowing people to download it as a beta
version
 Then, we will fix any bugs or issues and will update the app.
