STUDY PARTNER LAB
We all live a generation where we all got affected by the pandemic. I know exactly how it feels like when we all had to switch to online teaching and learning. It was hard! The pandemic made us more familiar with virtual functions but we also loses the opportunity to actually engage and bond with our professors, classmates and colleagues. Yes I get you, we can no longer study with classmates together because we might be in different parts of the world. Providing a study partner request flow is an opportunity for students to connect virtually and be able to share, study and work on projects together even if we are in different parts of the world!
PAIN POINT
Users are unable to find a study partner efficiently with their preferred language and preferred time zone.
