Diplomeet Website Prototype
The current research and commitment process for higher education institutions is expensive, overzealous, and impersonal. Traditional research methods do not provide high school students with convenient, thorough, and specific answers to help high school students make informed decisions about their futures. Diplomeet is an ed-tech start-up idea aiming to reduce college research costs for high school families by embracing what makes students unique. The UCONN senior design team was tasked with creating a prototype website that provides personal and specific answers to high school students during their college research and commitment process. The website performs back-end and front-end functions to match high school students with currently enrolled college students. High school students receive personalized college student matches based on similar demographic backgrounds, interests, and career goals. The goal of the website is for students to quickly build user profiles so they can be accurately matched with appropriate college students.
