Conclusion

It was an amazing experience working with a group of undergraduate students of the UCSC during this pandemic period. We managed to put our free time into creating an innovative application to help the community find a way forward. It was challenging to find an idea which we could develop into an actual application. But with collaborative decision making and planning we made it possible. It was a difficult task to virtually plan everything with no physical interaction. So we utilized as much technology as possible to work on something that we all were passionate about. We had 8 hour long conversations on Whatsapp. The group prepped for this while competing in IEEEXtreme 14.0. We also had the opportunity to explore new areas in ReactJS.
