A personalized message: Why should the mentor pick your team?
Good day Mr Xianhao Cheng,
We are team ConnectiNUS and our team consists of Chan Chang Yu, Linus, and Ivan Chin Yue Ze!
Below is the link for our group's proposal, poster, and video pitch:

Our team is extremely keen on building a product that is not only able to see practical real-world applications but we also truly believe that good UX/UI is key in allowing users to have the inclination to even use the app in the first place! Through embarking on the development of this centralised messaging platform, we truly envision an application that is user-friendly and has low barriers of entry for students and professors alike to use, yet also scalable with added functionalities should we wish to do so.
As our group is intending to develop the UI framework using React Native, we believe that your guidance would be valuable given that you have previously conducted native react workshops and thus have relevant experience in the area. Moreover, we believe that your area of interest in software engineering and database systems is also highly relevant in the development of our application that we aim to be usable by the entire NUS population as well.
Feel free to contact any one of us at the following email addresses(e0726447@u.nus.edu OR e0773533@u.nus.edu) or telegram handle(@linuschan OR @rexlionz) if you have any additional questions for us or just want to find out more about what we do! We are looking forward to your favorable reply! Thank you for your time! Thank you so much for your time!

Our first attempt at building an interactive Figma prototype of PlanNUS (our mobile app name):

Dear Sir, we are developing a mobile application that helps NUS students to keep their student life organised.
Many freshmen in NUS have struggled to adapt to the transition from high school to university, given the increased level of freedom and high workload, which may be overwhelming to begin with. Moreover, we struggle with Module Registration as we may not be aware of any optimal timetable schedules when planning for registration. The application will help freshmen and even seniors to simplify the process with a click of a button.
The function generates a timetable suitable for the student according to his/her needs. If the student is not satisfied with the current configuration, he/she can regenerate until no feasible timetable is found. It utilises traditional A.I known as the SAT solver to find an optimal feasible timetable configuration, if possible. So far we have not found any mobile applications that utilises SAT solvers which could be a much faster alternative than the conventional timetable planner. If it works it could potentially be a game changer for NUS students, especially freshmen. Moreover, we have a to-do list integrated to our calendar where students can view their most urgent tasks.
Logging a task does not necessarily mean that the student would proactively take action, an alarm feature could remind the student a specified duration before the actual submission deadline. LumiNUS (NUS digital learning platform that supports a variety of e-learning applications) logs our uncompleted task but does not remind us of deadlines via notifications. There is a mobile application version of the platform which is poorly designed (e.g. Constantly crashes, no notifications for deadlines – essentially unusable and we normally use the website version instead).
We will be using Android studio, Java, Firebase and Python(to run the solver). Russell has research experience whereas I tinker with operating systems and thus we are new to Android development and Software Engineering in general but we are fast learners and we feel that Orbital is also a good place for us to step out of our comfort zone to try newer technologies. We would highly value your expertise in Software Engineering and Cloud Computing. We are looking forward to learning a lot from you throughout the mentorship and are hoping to gain insights on how to improve our project. Thank you.
Dear Xianhao Cheng,
We are team YeetAlone. We strongly believe that our project is one that will not just be applicable to NUS, but can also be used as an idea for a viable start up. Your unique insights into not only softqware engineering, but also working in mentoring orbital students will be of great value to us.
We look forward to your guidance on our project.
Please feel free contact us on any of the platforms we have mentioned in this post.
Thank You and Best Regards,
Team YeetAlone (Ishita and Shirshajit)

Hi Xianhao!
We are Team JavaBean. What we are doing for this Summer is to create a pixel perfect, Open-World RPG Style Game. Throughout last semester, we have been incessantly brainstorming our lore and what the game would be like, I hope our proposal would pique your interest in mentoring our team.
We are highly driven by our ambition to bring what we could've only dreamed of a few months ago into reality. We wanted to share with the world our story in a beautiful package in the form of a game:
Even though we only have 2.5 months, we would like to work on an area that is the trending the most in the tech community - blockchain, so that we can better understand how these things work. This is why we are challenging ourselves by ambitiously infusing NFT with all the in-game assets! Despite our previous experiences in creating other projects, we are still 2 Y1 CS students, thus we lacked the direction in adhering to and implementing good software engineering skills and principles, especially in the testing department. We are also not well-versed in database management. This is why we look forward to your guidance in helping our team to reach our potential and to make this game a success!
Thank you!
Team JavaBean.
