Ojala Social Impact Prize
Lingoshare by Cooper Ang, Seth Morenos, Mark xue, Justin Qiao
LingoShare is a web-based platform that connects older adult Chinese immigrants to young adult language learners who are interested in learning Chinese. We engage our users with topic-based discussion prompts that are surfaced in a video calling experience that works to promote cultural discussion. Designing for older adults comes with its challenges and we hope our project will help to lessen the digital divide and social isolation many older adults in Canada face.
Ojala Best Overall Project
Breads by Bernadette Cheng, Jenna Wang, Jennifer Chen, Yzabelle Go
Our web application streamlines the course searching and planning process for the University of Waterloo undergraduate students. The interactive planner allows students to view past information about courses, check that they satisfy their graduation requirements, and visualize their schedule for the upcoming term. Our aim is to help guide students through their course selection process.
