Study Together

Mobile App design with focus on UI

A key component of learning is enthusiasm. Peer-to-peer learning can increase motivation and engagement with a subject. This responsive web app will allow students to connect with others in their field to discuss topics, share insights, receive peer feedback on assignments, and even find others willing to collaborate on projects.

This web app will allow students to engage with a like-minded student community when and where they want and is therefore especially useful for those juggling their studies with a job, family, illness, etc.
