About Us: Hi! Our names are April, Sadhika, Karis, Vasti, and Allyson! We are sophomores at Berkeley interested in creating a study group matching site for students at UC Berkeley, and hopefully expanding this site to other colleges!
Problem Definition: Attending a large school has its benefits and drawbacks. As freshmen, getting situated in a new environment has definitely made finding study groups hard. Sometimes schedules don't match, commitments come up, or study habits don't align. With BearPals we envision a smooth and accessible platform that allows students to find their perfect study partners for whatever class they are taking! This site would benefit not only freshmen but students from all years, because who would ever pass up a good study partner!
Deliverable - We hope to build a website that matches students with other students at Cal via their classes, habits, location, year in school, schedules, and study group size. Bear Pals will connect you with your perfect study partner(s)!
