32-OrbitHub

For people who can't access organized sport programs, our app facilitates ad hoc play on public facilities.

Comment

Inspiration - I moved to a new City and had nobody to play tennis with on public courts. Unless I joined a private club, it was hard to make use of public facilities.

What it does - A location-based app that connects sport players to each-other and nearby facilities in real-time, showing how many people are currently playing there.

How I built it - My team built this on Android, with REST services.

Challenges I ran into - There is limited park and rec data on OSMC. However, John Ridener provided an alternative solution for me.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of - Creating a website to connect tennis and squash players that has over 12,000 members.

What I learned - A lot of municipalities are looking for innovative ways to drive usage of public facilities and monetize them as well.

What's next for 32-OrbitHub - Partner with as many municipalities as we can to introduce the app to their community.
