Connect 365

Overview:

Many students have trouble aligning their schedule with friends and finding the time to hang out. Determining the availability of your friends is even more difficult with larger groups, as you would have to either view all their schedules individually or message everyone in a group chat (which can be a hassle to do).

The objective of our web application is to solve scheduling issues among friends, and allow one to easily access a friend’s availability at any given time.
