Go CheckIt

2 out 5 people forget about their college assignments that are due. Go CheckIt connects with Canvas to help you organize your schedule and remind you of important tasks.

Inspiration

Over 1,600 learning institutions are using Canvas. Canvas doesn't have features to remind you of an assignment that is due near the deadline. If you have the Canvas app and have notifications turned on, there is an influx of assignment notifications and changes made, however, that can be very overwhelming and still does not serve the sole purpose of reminding the student an assignment is due. Many people including myself have had a mini surprise attack when checking Canvas and seeing an assignment is due the day of without prior knowledge.

What it does

Users can use the Go CheckIt app as a calendar tool to add important events and tasks to each specific day. GoCheckIt also allows the user to connect features like Canvas to allow them to integrate their assignments and due dates from Canvas onto the app. Classes and office hours will be imported onto the app and homework assignments will be under tasks under each day.

How we built it

We used Figma to build the prototype. We learned to use the basics of React Native.

Challenges we ran into

We were all first-time Dubhackers so it took us a long time to organize, plan, and distribute the work among us. After strategizing we decided to make a web or mobile app, but none of us had extensive experience building such an app. So whilst part of the group worked on learning Figma and building prototypes, the other part focused on learning React and building a potential website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the prototype that we have built using Figma. We were not very familiar with how to use Figma at the beginning of the DubHacks, but we have learned a lot throughout the process and we were able to build a prototype.

What we learned

We learned how to use Figma to develop prototypes

What's next for Go CheckIt

In the future, we would like to continue to build the app version of Figma. As of right now, we are not skilled enough to build a fully functioning app; however, we believe that we are able to learn and continue to work on Go CheckIt to build a fully functioning app.
