Project Description
Meeple is an innovative mobile application designed to bridge the gap between high school students seeking guidance and university students willing to share their knowledge and experiences. The platform facilitates meaningful connections that help students make informed decisions about their academic future.
The Problem
Many high school students struggle with choosing the right university major or career path due to lack of first-hand information and guidance. Traditional career counseling often lacks the personal touch and real-world insights that peer mentoring can provide. Students need access to authentic experiences and advice from those who have recently walked the same path.
The Solution
Meeple creates a trusted platform where high school students can connect with university students studying in fields they're interested in. This peer-to-peer mentoring approach provides authentic, relatable guidance that helps students make more informed educational and career decisions.
