The Ask
Harbour.space
Established in 2015, Harbour.Space University is rapidly growing, with an increasing number of students annually. However, its small staff faces challenges in tracking student needs and organizing events to foster engagement and build a tightly connected campus community.
High level goals
Harbour.space has outlined their goals for our team:
Goal 1
Enhance Student Engagement
Goal 2
Build a Strong Community
Goal 3
Optimize Resource Management
Goal 4
Support Staff Efficiency
The Problem
Universities Struggling to Foster Student Engagement
Harbour.Space University faces challenges in engaging students and building community due to limited data on students preferences, making it harder to track needs and organize tailored events that fits the students interest and encourage students connections.
The Opportunity
No software that collect, manages and measure students' personalities and "vibes"
Market research reveals a gap in software tailored to students' personalities and preferences, highlighting the need for tools that prioritize community and connection building over academic management.
How might we?
How might we help Harbour.space to understand their students' personal preferences and design tailored events that foster community engagement and connection.
Our concept
Vibes is a software and mobile application that allows students to create their "Vibes" and suggest campus activities and communities that match their interests, enabling them to find fellow students with similar personalities. Simultaneously, the university collects and analyzes these "Vibe" data to design more targeted events and activities, ultimately fostering a more engaged and closely connected campus community.
Expected Impact
Comparing our solution to the initial high level goals.
Student engagements
Foster a vibrant campus life by streamlining event planning and offering personalized activity recommendations, creating opportunities for meaningful interactions among students, alumni, and staff to strengthen relationships and cultivate a sense of belonging.
Data management
Use data-driven insights to efficiently allocate resources, improve event participation, and tailor services to student needs.
Effective event planning
Provide tools to simplify communication, track student preferences, and reduce the workload for staff managing campus activities and events.
