Inspiration

  • We wanted to consolidate all the cool hidden spots on campus to help students get to know their school better. Kind of like a virtual scavenger hunt, but for Cornell.

  • Collect badges and level up

How we built it

  • Designed and prototyped in Figma
  • Built using Android Studio and XML

Challenges we ran into

  • Learning Android development in a day
  • Implementing Figma designs in an actual app

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • First hackathon!
  • Creating a cohesive design system and interactive prototype in a day

What we learned

  • Teamwork makes the dream work
  • There is no such thing as too many apples

What's next for CU Explore

  • Timed-event competitions
  • More adventures!
  • Ability to sort and filter adventures by category, difficulty, location
