Problem Statement

The end of each semester starts a familiar trend for each student - decide what classes they want to take the next semester and create a potential schedule. In addition to deciding classes, students tend to want to know what their friends take, leading to using a number of different softwares to find classes, create schedules, and share them to find potential study buddies, a tedious but necessary process. At MIT, there is no good UI that integrates all of these features seamlesslyPeople packing for a trip tend to forget crucial items such as toothbrushes, shampoo, or chargers, or forget to bring a sustainable quantity of certain items. We plan to design a mobile application that provides a simple way to provide people with a reminder of what exactly they need to bring on trips, taking advantage of the knowledge of their destination to determine what trip-specific items they will need, along with the basic essentials. This mobile application will present this information in such a way that people can use as they pack so even as they pack in a hurry, they don't have to rack their brains for what they might need.
