Inspiration

Due to the swift change to remote learning due to the Pandemic many students lost their sources of income. However remote learning still required students to have their materials to continue learning. We were inspired due to seeing that many of our peers can no longer afford the supplies they need for class. We didn’t want this to become a barrier to anyone's education. So we wanted to create Peer Share where students can support each other.

How it works

This is an interactive application where students can select an area on the map and submit the item they would like to drop off along with the details about it(image & name). Along with the option to do a pick up of options listed at a location.

What's next?

For our next step we will begin to develop the different features more. More time will also be put into our overall design and ensuring that it is user friendly.

Examples of future features:

-Users can leave reviews about how well business and public institutions are dealing with coronavirus and if they are respecting recommended rules from CDC.

-Social Distancing score for businesses based on user comments, concerns, reviews, etc.

-Geofencing-alerts user when entering a high density perimeter

-Allowing school programs and charities to donate supplies through us. Then eventually incorporating other schools.
