Hi Mr Tan,
Who are we?
We are Team Canvas++. Our Orbital project is called Canvas++ where we aim to make a web-app that surpasses our current academic platform, Canvas, in terms of features, functionality and usability. By integrating Canvas with a productivity web-app along with many Quality-Of-Life features, we hope to develop a web-app that could help students sail through the semester.
Why did we choose this project?
We hope that our web-app will help students manage their heavy workload which is essential especially in the middle of the semester where their schedules start to become hectic. As students who had issues managing their workload, prioritizing which tasks to do first, we decided to create this project in hopes that it will increase productivity and reduce procrastination among students by making their workload easier to manage.
How?
With Canvas++ being a full-stack development project, we hope that your experience in software development will be able to push our project to greater heights by advising us on best software engineering practices to build a scalable and functional product. We would greatly appreciate your guidance and we strongly believe that our mentee-mentor pairing would be a compatible one, given the relevance of our project's tech to your skills and expertise in the field.
Feel free to contact us or refer to the attached proposal and poster to find out more about who we are, our project timeline as well as the specifics of the project. We look forward to having you as our mentor. Thank you for your consideration!

Good day, Mr. Jeremy
This is Team Advent, and we’re reaching out to you with the hope of having you as our mentor in Orbital 2023.
Our team is keen on building a web app that allows seamlessly integrating event registration forms into websites through iframe or code snippets provided. Our website will also act as a site storing data and an analytical dashboard for event organizers. We are huge advocates of a clean UI and a hassle-free experience for our users, with customizability being a feature we emphasize. To provide you with a better vision of our project, we would like to invite you to look at our video and poster.
The tech stack we have settled on includes some of the latest frameworks like Next.js 13 and React 18. I believe our emphasis on a seamless user experience aligns with your search for a team wanting to build apps with a pleasant user experience. Your interest in databases is a great learning opportunity for us as well, considering our app requires storing user data that is crucial information to the competition between businesses and event organizers.
Hence my partner and I truly hope to have you as a mentor for support and guidance on this journey ahead!
Feel free to contact us at the email addresses or telegram handles above if you have any questions. I hope you have a great day, and thank you for taking the time to read this. It would be an honor to have you as our mentor/friend!
Kind Regards,
Advent (Team 5877)

Deliverables:
Dear Mr Jeremy Tan,
We are Project Sage and our Orbital project is Odyssey, a rougelite RPG, aimed at providing players with an engaging combat game that explores the adventures adapted from the chapters of the famous Chinese novel "Journey to the West". In our game, players can look forward to learning the mechanics of each character and utilising in-battle character swapping to conquer various chapters and their unique chapter-specific mechanics, thereby guaranteeing an immersive gaming experience for all!
Our rationale for choosing to pursue game development for Orbital '23 stems from our curiosity on the game development scene. Thus we have set out to utilise the valuable opportunity provided by Orbital to learn important SE practices through developing our very own game!
Equipped with the lore of the highly regarded "Journey to the West", we believe we have a strong foundation for a game that allows players to explore the many adventures that are written in the popular novel and we are fully committed to realising this potential. We hope to tap on your wealth of experience in software development as well as prior experiences in developing iPad games to guide us and allow us to achieve the goals that we have set for this Orbital project
Feel free to peruse the attached materials for a better understanding of the specifics of our project as well as to contact us on the relevant platforms should the need arise!
We look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,

Hi Jeremy!
We are Jaime and Ying Ling from Team roamio and we are reaching out to you because we believe your expertise aligns perfectly with our project goals. We are eager to learn more from you about Full-Stack web development and about your experiences in implementing progressive web applications (PWA). We are unfamiliar with but really interested in PWA, of which we read that you have much knowledge in.
We are working on an all-in-one travel planning web application, ‘roamio’, to simplify the travel planning experience. Just fill in the country, dates and airline of your trip, and the application will help generate your packing lists and suggest places for your itinerary, taking into account the country and weather based on the info you have provided. Users can collaborate and manage their packing lists and itinerary plans with other users. Additionally, we will incorporate language assistance for those travelling to foreign countries.
To realise our vision, we prioritise good UI & UX for our users. For our tech stack, we plan to utilise Typescript, ReactJS, ExpressJS and Firebase. We are exploring Scrum and DevOps as well. Furthermore, we are open to implementing ‘roamio’ as a progressive web application (PWA) to enhance its usability on all devices.
We are eager to discuss our project further with you and learn under your mentorship. Your guidance as a veteran in web application development would greatly contribute to the success of ‘roamio’.
Thank you for considering our request. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with you on this exciting project. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or require additional information.
Best regards,
Jaime and Ying Ling

Dear Jeremy,
We are a team called Project Rama, and we will be working on a mobile application that aims to connect people to form the perfect team and manage their tasks within that team. We observed that students are unable to find like-minded teammates to collaborate with one another in a project. Therefore, we’ve come up with our app Launchlab NUS to solve this issue and better manage tasks and deadlines. Our project involves the use of tech stack such as Flutter, Supabase, Figma and PostgreSQL.
We have decided to reach out to you as our application development project would be in line to what you are looking for. Furthermore, given your expertise and experience, we believe that you would be the perfect mentor to guide us through our project.
We would be honoured for you to mentor us and provide us with your valuable insights and feedback. We are eager to learn from your experiences and gain valuable knowledge that can help us improve our project.
We look forward to hearing back from you soon!
Best regards,

Hi Jeremy!
We are excited to share with you our product, Boundless Bazaar. It is a web platform that connects travelers and buyers, making it easier than ever for buyers to obtain products from overseas that might otherwise be difficult to access due to location or high shipping costs.
Our platform allows buyers to upload product requests, which can be viewed by other users on the platform. Travelers who happen to be in the country where the product is available can accept the request and help make the purchase for the buyer, bringing the product back with them when they travel to the buyer's country.
We see the potential for this platform to revolutionise the way people shop for products from overseas, and we believe that it could be a game-changer in the e-commerce industry.
One goal that we have for our platform is for it to support seamless and secure payment between buyers and travelers, hence your background with Stripe really stood out to us. With your expertise and guidance, we hope to create something truly special that will benefit consumers all over the world, and we would be honoured if you would consider mentoring our team as we bring this platform to life.
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
A&EmoneySaver

Hi Mr Tan,
We are Team Polaris. We plan to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) application on our mobile phones that provide an experience similar to stargazing.
Being avid stargazers ourselves, we feel it is a shame that there are those who have never experienced the beauty of the universe and the sheer scale of it. In light-polluted Singapore, we wanted to share a glimpse of that joy with those that were never given the opportunity, anywhere, at any time, through the convenience of their phones. In doing so, we hope that users will be more keen to learn more and appreciate the vast space that we call home.
We hope to provide a pleasant user experience in using React.js for front-end development and mainly Unity Engine for the AR development. We hope to provide users with a seamless experience to view the night sky. With your experience in Software Engineering and guiding previous students, we look forward to having you as our mentor!
Feel free to contact us and check out further details in the attached materials! Thank you for your consideration!
Best regards,
Polaris

Good afternoon Mr Tan!
We are Jason and Gian Sen, and we are creating an all-in-one health tracking app called self++. It is similar to the Popular productivity app (Forest), which has taken the world by storm. Self++ is an app that monitors various aspects of life including sleep, focus, activity levels, and we hope for this app to become an all encompassing wellness app for our target audience. We hope to bring about the idea of gamification by providing daily tasks and rewarding individuals for completing tasks daily, and offer them in game currency to decorate their island to their liking. As students, our overall health is of utmost importance, and we hope this app will help encourage students to approach their lives from a more holistic point of view. The idea of a reward system and customisation of a personal island would serve as a form of motivation for them.
As we are working on a mobile application with a game aspect, we believe that you are the mentor that would be the best fit for us. There are no other mentors that have an extensive background experience in both mobile applications and game development, and hence we believe that with your help we can have greater guidance to make this idea come to life.
Both of us are determined to learn the skills and technologies ourselves. We would love to have a mentor to point us to the correct direction, and provide some pointers when making games/mobile apps based on industry experience, and there are no one else like you who seem best suited for this.
We have attached the necessary links for more information about our project. Thank you for your time and consideration!
Best regards, self++.
Hi Jeremy,
I'm Aryan Gupta, a member of Team Kuhaku, alongside Satvik Shankar. We would love to have you onboard as our mentor for Orbital 2023, and feel that we would be a good match.
With our project, we aim to create an ideal investment platform to help people with mechanism for investment of the financial knowledge for the same, to diversify their savings portfolio. Why? Here in India, most middle class families put all their savings in fixed deposits (infact 95% of all savings, by a survey by RBI), and only a few keep mutual funds or stocks (only 8% of the people, as calculated by SEBI). This makes a large part of the population taking under-market returns on savings, and prone to a economic collapse. Well, there's more background, and you can go through the proposal for a lot of it.
Why did we pick you? This is simple to answer. Sadly, we have no prior experience in software development. This would be our first project, and so we have hit multiple roadblocks already. Someone might think that a business-oriented mentor might be better, right now we feel that we will be facing higher obstacles in development, which is what we maximize here in orbital first. And we think you're the person for it.
Why should you pick us? There are a lot of teams out there (and ones even before us), and we have no experience to boot. However, it is because of the same, and that we are here at the Arthemis level of orbital, that we will not let anyone else best us in putting in the hardwork. We are passionate, adaptable and look to creatively explore and solve the problem. With your experience, we can take our project to the highest level, and even beyond orbital.
Here are the links to our proposal, poster, and liftoff video. We would love you feedback on these, and would be honored to have you onboard our project.
You can reach out to us at aryan@u.nus.edu or e1070591@u.nus.edu (email), @AryanGupta9803 or @Jfkivtas2804 (Telegram), 91202887 or 86475168 (Whatsapp).

Dear Mr Jeremy,
My team is reaching out to introduce our innovative project and seek your mentorship in bringing it to life. We have planned to develop a groundbreaking workflow management app designed specifically to address the challenges faced by animal care centers in coordinating tasks and efficiently disseminating information to volunteers. Our app aims to revolutionise the way managers assign tasks to volunteers and ensure seamless communication within the organization. By incorporating an auto-assign feature and an all-in-one dashboard, our app streamlines the process, saving valuable time and reducing the burden on managers. We believe that with your guidance and expertise, we can make an impact in the animal care industry and positively impact the lives of countless animals. We would be honoured to have you as our mentor and are eager to discuss our project in more detail.
Our plan is to deploy our product and put it into usage at pet shelters in Singapore.
Thank you for considering our request, and we look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
Warmest Regards,
Team Top3
