Theme/Purpose
A better academic-based connection space that gets to the core what students really want.
Product
Our product is a social media-esque platform for users to be matched to potential friends, it is a space where students can easily seek tutors and a source where students can get the real scoop on a course/professor.
This idea came about through sharing the everyday annoyances we experience as students and how these aspects dwindle the limited time we have with such tight schedules. We wanted to create a platform to corral all the necessary things we use on a day to day basis and have it as a go-to space for all things school. It melds the opportunity to connect/find a community, is a reliable way to get academic help and needed a better platform that mitigates back-and-forth school apps in a comprehensive place. Our original target audience is UCSD students, however this is relevant to all institutions as a way for students to champion back their time.
