Chīmu fosters positive experiences for team collaboration in an academic setting by focusing on three core concepts that make a great team: communication, accountability, and reflection. Our platform incorporates these concepts into three key features: icebreakers, team agreements, and team check-ins. We understand that teamwork is a continuous process that requires feedback from beginning to end, and our goal is to create a positive first impression. Through peer accountability, open communication, and feedback we aim to reduce negative team experiences. Our platform emphasizes the importance of the team agreement to establish clear expectations and encourage trust among team members.
