Kayleigh Sleath is an undergraduate Bachelor of Engineering Research and Development student at The Australian National University (ANU). Kayleigh has developed an app, called Ohna, that allows people to look through the produce available at the Capital Region Farmers Market in Canberra and pre-order their groceries. Kayleigh is working with the Market organisers, stallholders, and farmers to pilot this program. She communicates orders to stallholders and farmers, and then goes around the Market early on a Saturday morning to collect and pack these orders. At this point, customers still need to drop into the market between 9 and 11am on a Saturday to pick up their groceries from Kayleigh. However, she believes Ohna allows people who are time-poor and who need to plan and budget their food purchases, like students, to know what is available, at what price, and to be able to collect this food easily.
