Zoos are established all over the world for the protection and conservation of wildlife animals as well as educating the public about the role that they can play by contributing to these efforts. However, there is a lack of measures to keep visitors fully engaged during their visit hence, the above-mentioned objectives are not fulfilled entirely. ZooVentures is an android application that is designed to interact with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons placed near each animal enclosure and send a notification to its users. The logged in users will be able to read the information about the animal which they are visiting by tapping on the notification. The application aims to increase visitors' engagement while fulfilling the objectives of zoos at the same time.
