problem/need:

As USC students with various jam-packed schedules, it is hard to find time to hang out or meet up with friends. Once you have a a set time, it can still be hard to figure out what you want to do or where you want to go that is both accessible and meets both people's criteria.

solution:

I want to create a website which helps match schedules and preferences for when and what to do. First, the two users will input their schedules and preferences. It will take into account atmosphere, distance, group size, hunger, etc. into account. It will also hopefully display a map which pinpoints the location. Then, with the schedules and data inputted, the website will generate a randome activity and times that match both schedules for the two people.

analysis:

Currently, there are collaborative calendar apps and websites which help generate activities, but no USC specific site.

impact and vision:

I hope that this website will help more students connect and balance their academic and social lifes, which can be kind of hectic. In the future, I hope to also continue updating the activities that you can do, and expand the amount of people it cross references. Also, I hope that people can eventually use it like a calendar app where data can be saved(althought that is not within our capabilities yet).
