This project is intended to increase campus involvement by giving students and officials of schools more awareness of campus life.

This app uses the location of its users in order to draw a heatmap of the campus that gives insight to its users where most of the students are spending their time and maybe find quiet places to study, rest, or entertain. It also lets the organizers mark specific locations for events, so that whenever users open the map they can see where the events are happening. This project can be scaled enormously by adding many other features and hopefully improving campus life and involvement in institutions of different sizes.

In order to build it, we used Google Maps SDK to let us display an interactive map with lots of insights. And we also used its heatmap features to perform data visualization. Besides, we used Cloud Firestore as our main database for the project.
