An event discovery & matchmaking application

For ~2 months, my group and I designed a social matchmaking app for our school project. Our study aimed to develop an app that streamlines event discovery, facilitates social matching based on interests, and provides real-time event alerts to enhance student engagement and participation.

The Problem

University students often struggle to form social connections, especially in the early stages of their academic journey. Commuter students face added challenges due to limited time on campus, but both off-campus and on-campus students encounter barriers such as introversion, conflicting schedules, and difficulty finding relevant events. Many students feel overwhelmed by the number of campus activities, and event information is often scattered across multiple platforms, making discovery inefficient.
