Design a web application for small screen of a smartphone that utilises the information contained from a student guide for international students. This is designed into a working prototype.
Nightlife
The guide shows you very well what to do in Amsterdam after next to your study. All the important events, parties, festivals. This is interesting because building a network is central to your student life. Internationals will never have to wonder what's going on in Amsterdam tonight. They will have an effective tool to help them make a network
Goals
I want students, among other things, to have more help with things like looking for a room, arranging public transport, and that kind of important things. I don't want my app to come up with solutions. I want my app to help the student find people from the same background as him or her, or even in new in Amsterdam for a few months and already know, or find someone who already knows everything about Amsterdam. My goal is to help international students to build a network to help them reach the goals they have in this city more quickly.
Solution
My app lets you log in via Facebook. This is because Facebook has become an important part and tool to connect people. It becomes so easy to find information about people on their personal Facebook page. But also to easily click through to the event page on Facebook. I don't want my app to replace Facebook, Google Maps, and even the calendar app on your phone. I want my app to work with those apps. My app is in fact a compilation of relevant events in Amsterdam, structured on your interests in events and people, an extension on Facebook, Maps, and Calender.
