Inspiration

We were inspired to create B-Happening after noticing the limitations of existing event apps like Campus Groups and B-Engaged. These apps often have outdated and cumbersome user interfaces, making it hard for students to quickly find relevant events happening on campus. We wanted to create something more minimalist and user-friendly.

What it does

B-Happening is a campus event discovery platform. It lists all ongoing events based on location and event name, making it easy for students to see what's happening in real-time. It features a login system and a dashboard where users can customize their event preferences. Organizers can easily post events directly from the app without needing to navigate through an official website.

How we built it

We used a combination of frontend and backend technologies to create B-Happening. The focus was on building a clean, intuitive interface that was minimalistic yet powerful. Our backend handles real-time event data and user authentication, while the frontend allows users to easily browse events based on location or event name.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges was ensuring that the user experience was smooth and intuitive. Existing applications have complex and cluttered interfaces, so simplifying the event discovery process while maintaining functionality was a tough balance to achieve. We also faced technical challenges in integrating the location-based sorting feature and setting up secure login systems.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have created a platform that simplifies event discovery in a way that no other app on campus currently does. The easy interface for organizers to post events without needing to go through the official website is a feature that we believe will save time and make event planning more accessible.

What we learned

We learned how crucial user interface design is in determining whether an app is successful or not. The feedback we received during testing emphasized the importance of keeping things minimalistic but functional. Additionally, working on this project improved our technical skills in implementing real-time data features and secure authentication.

What's next for B-Happening

We plan to continue expanding B-Happening by adding features like personalized event recommendations based on user preferences and real-time notifications for events nearby. We also hope to integrate social sharing options, so users can easily invite friends to events they’re interested in attending.
