Hi Esther!
We are Shanice and Min Xian from Team NUSPlanner.
Our team details are as follows:
Team name: NUSPlanner
Student name: Sng Wei Zhen Shanice & Ong Min Xian

Our team is proposing a web application that helps students to land their dream job by providing insights on how they allocate their time in three important aspects - work, academics and extracurriculars.
As employers increasingly value technical skills over traditional qualifications, countless undergraduates are struggling to differentiate themselves from the growing pool of skilled competitors in Singapore. With our web application, we are confident that we can make a difference to this issue by reinforcing the need for undergraduates to develop their portfolio holistically from the very beginning, which will be vital to helping them land their dream job.
The biggest selling point of our project would definitely be the use of descriptive tools like bar charts which enable users to derive meaningful insights on their daily activities through a single glance. We will also be providing a dashboard view which allows students to track their productivity, and a progress report which helps students accurately put together a detailed resume based on the activities that they have logged into the planner.
We are aware that you have extensive knowledge in the digital and interactive space, with more than a decade of experience in these fields. Your skills will be an amazing complement to our project, thus we would like to request for you to be our mentor.
We will be most delighted to have you as our mentor because of your passion for user-centric design and commitment towards the highest standards in all projects that you undertake. Similarly, we are a driven team that pays attention to details and strives to deliver the best in all that we do. We are certain that we will be able to learn much from you to create a quality product, and also hope to forge lasting connections with you during and after this mentorship.
More details about our project can be viewed at the following links. On top of the required submissions, we have also prepared a short 1 minute video to demonstrate our prototype.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,

Dear Esther, before we make our introduction, we would like to extend our warmest welcome to you for joining onboard the Mentoring Team for Orbital 2022. We hope that you have a great time here.
In today's age and society, while video games has replaced much of physical board and card games, we hope to develop a platform to enable tabletop game players and enthusiasts to freely rent and buy/sell their physical tabletop games. Our platform would also feature a community section that allows users to explore and connect with tabletop players and interest groups around them physically, and feature regular events for users to participate.
The following tech stack will be used for this project:
1) Mobile Development (By Wen Jun)
Flutter
2) Web Development (By Marcus)
React/Redux
TypeScript
React Testing Library/Jest
3) Backend Development (By Wen Jun)
ExpressJS (Server) / Cloud Function or AWS (Serverless)
Auth: Firebase
Database: Firebase / MongoDB
File Storage: Firebase Cloud Storage / AWS S3
We believe we can leverage on your expertise in UI/UX and experience design to create a user-friendly product. We have prior technical experience in front-end development, and we do recognise that good designs and UI/UX are as important, if not more, than the technical/code aspects of web and app development, since applications and websites are ultimately designed for use by people. Therefore, by leveraging on your expertise and mentorship, we believe that we can create a product that is not only technically comprehensive, but also user-friendly and practical as well.
