UCF Codineers - PLEXUS

PLEXUS, an intricate network of opportunity for college students!

Comment

Inspiration

We were inspired to do this project based on our own individual difficulties with excelling academically in school and connecting with corporations to score possible internships, co-ops, and job opportunities.

What it does

The app allows Engineering college students to network with both college students and corporations across the United States to excel academically in school and obtain mentorship and internship opportunities.

How we built it

The app was constructed from the ground up through C Basic. Only the structure of the app is coded, but Publisher visual drafts of our app are available on our Weebly website.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges we ran into were trying to use code to create an application from scratch. And then we ran into typical syntax and function errors as we were coding in C Basic.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our teamwork and drive to work hard to an end goal. We are happy that we chose to incorporate visuals into our project in order to give our project better clarity and representation.

What we learned

We learned that skills and coding were not all that was needed for this project. Every member was able to contribute to this project whether it was technical, logical, or visual.

What's next for UCF Codineers - PLEXUS

We did our best on this app and we hope that the app can one day be of use to students, or at least inspire the creation of a new useful application for the success of college students.
