Habi Hero

Math. It’s tough. Especially for first-graders who struggle with staying motivated to learn in their own little world. HabiHero is a conservation-themed, math-based learning game with the goal of making math fun, customizable, and socially impactful. HabiHero uses gamification with a focus on saving endangered animals and their habitats. Each animal represents a topic in the math curricula that is based on the Common Core Standard. As users solve problems, they earn habi-badges and habi-coins that can be redeemed to customize your hero. Parents and teachers can also track progress and create lessons to have their little heroes solve.

HireAssist.ML

The advent of Machine Learning has brought a cascade of new jobs into the engineering market. Although these positions are in high demand, they are not easy to fill, even as an engineer with a college degree. It takes an exceptionally strong fit to get hired with lack of industry experience. Through our Google Chrome extension, engineers will have a system within their web browser to facilitate and improve their online job search. The extension provides job recommendations based on a user's skills and the job opportunities they view. Additionally, the application process is streamlined by automatically filling out information.

Husky Hub

Students are not able to afford food and vary their food choices through the current Housing and Food Services system. We wanted to mainly address the question: "How might Housing and Food Services in the University of Washington allocate finances, vendors, policy, and resources so that they can decrease the exploitation of student funds and improve student life by varying food choices through connecting with more partners?" Our Solution is Husky Hub, a web application focused on improving the student food service experience regardless of financial standing and building community through on campus resources and small business owners.

In turn, this will lead to brand loyalty and turn the students of today into their customers of tomorrow.

MYDoc

To maximize life-saving potential, patients require efficient access to medical information and connections to the right doctors. However, doctors’ information is scattered in Malaysia. Patients often rely on word-of-mouth or long searches on individual hospital websites to search for doctors. Moreover, these sources do not accurately reflect the service quality of doctors. MYDoc is a web platform designed to bridge this information gap in Malaysia. By gathering doctors’ information in a single web application, users can both efficiently search for doctors’ information and recommend doctors to others. Through MYDoc, we strive to simplify the healthcare-seeking process for patients in Malaysia.
