During our ten week Introduction to User-Centered Design, our team completed the entire Design Thinking process. We began we a target population, high school students, met with them to understand their needs, and rapidly prototyped designs for potential solutions. In the end, we designed Gloo to help foster deeper connections between high school students and their teachers. With Gloo, teachers share their interests and availability, and students get recommended teachers we think they'll enjoy getting to know better. Whether its advice or a letter of recommendation, teachers have so much to offer their students. With Gloo, making those connections has never been easier!

We presented our work at an end-of-quarter expo, showing a demo of our functional prototype to dozens of designs and alumni.
