Look Up

Allow me to find you a constant guide in your academia! My motto is based on the belief that "Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power multiplied".

The problem Look Up solves

Aftermath of the Covid-19 is such that people face hard time finding the right path for themselves due to an abundance of resources and 80% of the people who sit for the interviews at various societies/clubs/companies gets rejected. So, I developed an app where I provide an environment, a community full of knowledgeable peoples, a platform to discuss all the problems with Mentees via chat or video call !!

The app is targeted to solve the existing problem of networking and consequential deficit in personality and skill development that newcomers to a college/university face. This problem becomes a crisis when the aforementioned tasks are asked to be carried out amidst situations like a pandemic. By the medium of this app, I foster an environment, a community that builds a network, a platform of interaction between the mentors and mentees - where they can chat or video call each other and thus get holistically developed in whatever field they deem necessary.

Challenges I ran into

  • One of the significant challenges that took a lot of time while building this app was the slot booking of the mentor. To make it visible to the mentee whether a particular mentor has an available slot or not; it had to be executed time and again to bring it to perfection, yet in order to make the networking process efficient and more sustainable this was one crucial feature of the app, so I gradually came through with it.
  • Handling this project with Classes was a test of mine time management skills and that's totally worth it at end.
