Verse is a new programming language developed by Epic Games and is used by creators in UEFN for custom Island creation. The Epic Developer Community website currently does not have a Verse taxonomy, making Verse-related document retrieval and code searching on their snippet repository difficult. This project looks to generate Verse taxonomy terms to enhance searchability, ensuring relevance and quicker information retrieval, and a repository redesign to improve code posting and findability, thereby enhancing user experience and engagement through content organization. These improvements benefit Epic by optimizing usability, increasing engagement metrics, and reducing indirect costs associated with software development.

In India, young professionals often leave home in pursuit of their dreams. Cooking can feel like a chore after a long day of work, however, and no restaurant can replicate mom’s home-made flavors. Through our project, we created a digital platform that acts as a two-sided marketplace connecting home chefs to hungry customers. By integrating feedback from users on both sides, we created a prototype designed carefully for providing the best user experience to everyone involved. For customers, we provide a convenient mealtime option. For chefs, we provide a means for making a living. For everyone, we created a community.

In the US, young adults ages 18 to 24, waste more food than any other age group (Nikolaus et al., 2018); this stems from many factors including lack of time or ideas for cooking due to busy academic, work, and social schedules.

Through our recipe inventory and generation features, we hope to bring awareness to the ingredients we have at our disposal to eat healthier, reduce waste, and live sustainably.

In Kenya, the lack of formal addresses hinders package delivery. Our solution utilizes remote sensing images and mapping platforms to create a robust digital addressing system. We developed a prototype using GIS technologies, efficient design, and intuitive UX. Through UX research and development, we created an MVP that streamlines last-mile delivery and enhances user satisfaction. This benefits e-commerce, logistics, and end-users with a digital address. Accurate addresses improve emergency response and the delivery of essential services like healthcare and education. Our solution tackles this challenge, providing efficient delivery and improved accessibility in Kenya's address system.

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.
