Idea Napkin No.2

Since the last Idea Napkin, I feel a lot has changed. I switched my major from mathematics to anthropology, I found out that I much prefer to study how people live and work and their interest versus numbers. I have not given up on numbers, but I want to be able to do something with my life that will help people and I feel that through my product I can take steps towards that goal. I am offering a program where you upload your class syllabus for each class you are taking and it will create a calendar for you that alerts when due dates and lectures are coming up. You will also be able to upload events or other programs into this student assistant app. This would be a tool for students to use to help them make the transition to college, and managing their college lives easier. Targeting students early on to get them set up for success in their early years of college while not being exclusive to them, I would target anyone who is trying to improve how they manage their time and wants to do so as efficiently as possible. Students go through a lot of stress as they explore their college careers and meeting deadlines for classes is a big part of this stress, so having a system that helps them stay on top of this stress would make students' life easier. My product would have all of the capacities of a normal calendar, with the ability to mass upload items. It is on this ability that I will be able to beat all the individual resources that UF offers, and other calendar programs out. This will be like having a personal assistant in your pocket.
Looking back I think that my future interests do not reflect what this business would be. For me this would be a project to help myself to finish college strong, so once it stopped affecting me immediately I would not continue to pursue this path. Looking back at the feedback, it seems like my target demographic would also eventually outgrow this app and without constantly throwing this idea to new generations of students it would die out rather quickly.
