Final Project Idea
29 Mar 2022
Collaborated with Louie Bala, Mahie Crabbe, Christine Nakano
Overview
The problem: Many students come to the University of Hawaii for both the outstanding education and the breathtaking views and destinations. Oahu has a lot to offer its students from abroad with a plethora of views, eats, and memorable destinations . It is difficult however for a newcomer to become familiar with the island without any guidance or outlet.
The solution: This application will solve this problem by providing a hub for students in search of fun experiences or memorable locations. Hawaii is well known for being a tourist destination and there are many good restaurants and sites to visit. The application will provide destination ideas along with reviews, for users to find a place they are interested in.
- Site seeing (not touristy)
- Location
- Reviews
- Activities
- Beaches
- How not to act → etiquette (for sake of locals and land)
- Pick up ʻōpala (trash)
- Respect animals and land such as monk seals, turtles, and native plants
- Have respect for the culture and language
- Landing page could provide useful info to help out of state / foreign students about Hawaii and its values.
