Our Mission
With the ongoing pandemic and work responsibilities slowly shifting to online environments, this raises the issue of finding suitable places for workers and students to zoom in on or focus on their work. While many individuals choose to work in the comforts of their homes, this comes with many issues such as difficulty with focusing, distractions from housemates, or needing to meet up with clients or coworkers occasionally in person. This app hopes to mitigate and solve this issue helping workers and students efficiently find their new favorite work places.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Problem Statement
There are many people who study or work alone but they want a place that has a study atmosphere where many people study or work together. However, they don’t know how to find such a place so they need to either go to the library which is too crowded or a coffee shop which is too noisy.
Target User
Our target users will be free workers, students in college or just graduated. They can represent people who are working with laptops and working remotely during the pandemic. They may be tired working alone in their house so they want to find a place that has a working environment.
Technology
We will be using an app to locate study/work areas available nearby. Users can find a place to work/study filtering Wifi connections, spots availability, food/drinks availability etc. Since the target users are people in the workforce or studying, we are hoping for them to be technologically proficient.
How it all started..
This project started and our team came together in Autumn of 2021 when taking HCDE 318 (Introduction to User-Design) taught by Professor Sarah Coppola. Most of the work was done at Ode, the Hub, or in the Design Studio in Sieg.
