Dear Mr Liu,

We are Team State, a team looking to tackle the increasingly detrimental problem of declining mental health, particularly among students. We are creating WellNUS, a web application that tackles this problem by matching students to a group of like-minded peers that will act as a peer support system and improve the accessibility of counselling by utilising volunteer counsellors on top of professional counsellors.

As we believe that Orbital is more than just the product we are able to create at the end of the 3 months, we intend to utilise this opportunity to learn new tech stacks such as Go to implement WellNUS. We think that your experience in Go and passion for state-of-the-art tech stacks will help us substantially during the development of the application.

Thank you for taking your time from your busy schedule to become a Mentor for Orbital and we hope to work with and learn from you during this orbital journey.

Yours Sincerely,
Team State

Hi there Ruiping,

We are Project FindNUS. We think that the current lost and found (LNF) system in NUS is broken, and we want to fix that.

Why is it broken?

1. The official lost and found website is unoptimised for mobile (when we lose things, the first thing we do is check using our phones! unless you lost your phone, of course…)
2. Lost item listings are fragmented across multiple platforms, from the official LNF website to various NUS telegram groups.
3. The official LNF system is troublesome for people who want to submit lost items to. They have to go down to a physical LNF counter to register the item.

FindNUS aims to make the LNF process as frictionless and seamless as possible, with a mobile-optimised, user-centric search and submit function for LNF items. More details in our proposal ;)

Through this project, we hope to not only learn various industry-standard technologies, but also take the opportunity to develop something useful for the NUS community!

Thanks for taking time out your busy schedule to mentor for Orbital. We hope that our project vision speaks to you to take us on as your mentees. With your deep knowledge and mentorship, we are sure that we can develop an awesome and well-made web application for the NUS community :)
