Inspiration
According to the American College Health Association (ACHA), 63% of college students feel "very lonely". A little bit of help goes a long way--making friends and finding studying partners can be extremely difficult. We wanted to foster more connections in classes through an app.
What it does
This app will collect inputted user data and match individuals with common information. The connections are when and where individuals study, majors, career interests, and current classes. It will suggest others' profiles which the user can directly message through the app.
How we built it
We used JavaScript within the React Native framework.
Challenges we ran into
Our hardest challenge was learning JavaScript within React Native and writing an app as beginners. Specifically, learning how to store data was difficult.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of materializing a draft of our ambitious idea. We are also proud of having a tickle of understanding the process of how a product is created.
What we learned
We learned the basics about the tools.
What's next for Study Buddy
We intend to continue our current direction for the app--create a matching feature.
