Study Buddies

We wanted to recreate the collaboration that happens in crowded office hours, when students that don't necessarily know each other are all congregated in the same space, studying for the same exams and assignments. Sometimes, particularly in our larger CS classes, people would gain more by learning from their peers than waiting in line to work with a TA/professor.

This kind of collaboration-based learning is a great tool for students, and our app aims to recreate that experience for an online learning format. We built this app in Figma, and we used tools like Adobe's color palette picker to choose a color scheme as well as UI kits.

Both of us are beginners to Figma, and it was hard to align elements and create different stylistic tabs. We're proud of creating a full prototype and pushing each other to think out of the box.

We learned a lot about using Figma and integrating UI kits into our own design. We also learned about controlling the amount of user input, expanding navigation beyond just front and back buttons, and how to create contrast.

We would focus on expanding Study Buddies to other colleges and universities, and we could create a feature to create meetings of choice on Zoom or a software of choice.
