Inspiration

This product serves to mitigate the universal problem students face when attending a post-secondary institution, to help students find more affordable options for necessary materials

What it does

The web app functions similar to any exchange where anyone who needs a textbook is able to search according to their course code and see all the relevant posts, and if one needs to post a picture, the form allows them to do so. When one searches for course textbook. the system will return all relevant data filtered by the price.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting the frontend to the backend, and making the website responsive

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What's next for Textbook Exchange
