g@ther
g@ther is an event and meetup platform that primarily targets students. It aims to establish relationships among students, particularly as we navigate through the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns. Due to the pandemic, forming human connections has become extremely challenging, which has taken a toll on our mental health. Our app offers a solution by connecting students through events and meetups without the obligations clubs and organizations typically demand. To attract new users and direct them to upcoming events in their vicinity, we employed QR codes.
How it works.
-
Scan.
Use your phone to scan the QR codes located on posters, stickers, and floor decals across campus.
-
Explore.
Your phone is then directed to the app store to install the app. After the app is installed, it will show upcoming events in your area. You can then save events, invite friends, and see who in your contacts is attending each event.
-
Attend.
If you find an event that looks interesting, you are encouraged to attend. Here you will be able to find students with similar interests and achieve that much-needed social interaction.
