Dromos
Dromos is a project that originated due to the difficulty young people face in making decisions about their careers. Its focus is on career guidance, based on the idea that choosing a career is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of self-discovery. The user journey includes paths from self-knowledge and the RIASEC Test (vocational test) to knowledge of areas and exploration of markets and courses. The app offers tools such as "Connect", for interaction with real professionals and scheduling appointments with vocational career psychologists. Dromos guides the student in a structured and welcoming way.

Learning Journey
Learning Journey
We opted for the "design thinking" methodology. To help us stay organized, we created a plan in Trello using the Kanban method, maximizing efficiency in the process. Initially, we used Kodular to create the app. We did part of the programming and design. However, when analyzing the plan for the MVP, we realized that due to some resources we would need to use, we would have difficulties creating it with Kodular. We opted for Google AI Studio. We revised the plan and created a methodology that allowed us to deliver the app as planned. This change was fundamental.
Information Legitimacy Description
Our goal has always been to seek information based on data and evidence so that our solution meets the real needs of the user. We verify the credibility of websites, analyzing whether they belong to well-known and trustworthy institutions. Furthermore, we consider conversations with users and professionals in the field related to our problem to validate the proposed solution. In this way, we ensure that the information used is relevant, reliable, and appropriate for the development of our project.

We strive to base the development of DROMOS on data and evidence, ensuring that the solution meets the real needs of young people. We select credible sources (reference institutions, research bodies, recognized journalistic portals) and verify each piece of data before including it. We complement the documentary research with interviews, questionnaires, and meetings with 3rd-year students and a psychologist specializing in vocational guidance, incorporating feedback directly into the product. To preserve rigor and transparency, we record the sources and access dates, verify, analyze, and make changes based on user feedback, and maintain control. The only data we will have from the user is their email address for registration… This ensures that the information used is relevant, verifiable, and guides ethical and technical decisions throughout the development process.
