Study Terp

Our Story

We are a team of dynamic and innovative individuals that have brought all of our creativity, collaboration, and technical skills to our hack this Technica! United by a shared passion for problem-solving and driven by a desire to bring innovative solutions to life, we embarked on a hectic 24-hour journey of a hackathon to tackle real-world challenges in the realm of education.

Finding people to study with for every class is undeniably difficult, especially if it's a gen-ed course none of your friends are taking. Regardless, we saw a gap in services provided by the university. It's always hard trying to find people that will be compatible with you, whether it be from differences in time commitment to personality. Together, we aimed to create a web-app that would connect them with like-minded peers.
