College S.O.S.
If You're In Stress, Use Our S.O.S.
About Our App
Our app allows you to insert what you specifically need help with, where the app sends out a message to all the nearby users of the app to notify them that there’s someone in the area that needs assistance. The user will then be informed on what the task is, and given the distance between both people. The helper can later accept the request from the student in need.
The student who originally requested their assistance can then see detailed descriptions of all the students in the area that are willing to assist them, and can then choose who they think will be best for this job. After the student has selected the assistant, the assistant will receive a notification that they’ve been selected and your location will be sent. It is important to note that in its initial form the app is going to be most effective in large college campuses, which is where the app will most likely feature its debut.
OUR STORY
The story behind why we wanted to start this project is because we personally feel that in today’s day and age people are too afraid to ask for help from one another, whether because of pride or because of fear of judgment.
Our hope is that this app can change that and eventually lead to a world where people ask others for help without hesitation, and others are more than willing to provide that help, without any reward to themselves.
OUR VISION
As our app grows, more people will begin to use it, and then we can examine how often it is being used by people as well as how it’s being used. We want this app to change the college life and make it easy to go through the day to day activities with no worries. We believe that this app can make it so that all the efforts made by colleges to keep their communities safe, and truly make students seem welcome on their campuses and the college area.
