A personalized message: Why should the mentor pick your team?
We are contacting you to express our interest in getting you on board as our mentor in Orbital 2023. After reviewing the requirements that you are looking out for, we believe that our project will be a great match.
Our project aims to enable all students to experience interdisciplinary learning, an area that we find extremely valuable. This means that students can easily access materials from other majors and faculties, learn beyond the scope of their majors and even connect with students beyond their faculty. Interdisciplinary learning is important because it enables us to generate new links between different concepts and create new ideas and products from this link. Hence, we hope to create an app that will be a one stop shop for all NUS students. Users will be able to publish their own articles, access cross-faculty resources and network with students with similar interests. The tech stack of our application includes Flutter, Firebase, MySQL.
Our team comprises driven individuals who are passionate about creating innovative solutions to real-world problems. We aim to build a scalable, marketable product wth end users in mind. Hence, we are seeking a mentor with a wealth of experience in the field who can provide insights, advice and feedback as we develop our project. We are reaching out to you because we saw your wealth of experience in software engineering and product development and we believe that your expertise would be a valuable asset to our team.
We will greatly appreciate your review of our project proposal, poster and video. If you are interested in being our mentor for the Orbital project, please let us know. We would be honoured to have you on board. Thank you!
Best regards,

It was a delight to read your project proposal. The project definitely seems to be targeting a problem faced by the students in almost all universities. The video and poster seem vey well made.
Just a few suggestions to note from my side would be,
-> The poster can be made more intriguing. You can leave the reader wanting for more. For example, you could present the features in the form of questions and then give them the link to the video or the app saying find out more!
-> Try to define more refined user stories. I think your advisor will better guide you on this. One user story must target only one aspect of one feature. For example, As a student, I am able to upload articles. Don't include the "reputation points" part here. It must be a separate user story.
These are just suggestions for your future iterations.
I am honored to know that you considered me to be your mentor and it would be my pleasure. I have experience in similar mobile development. My own orbital project was along similar lines to your project. I will try to help you as best I could. Though If you are matched with a more qualified mentor, please go ahead and continue with the project. All the best and I hope to download the Noted! App soon.

We are writing to you to express our interest in having you as our mentor here at Team HawkerBro.
HawkerBro is a mobile application that seeks to connect hawker stall owners and consumers. The hawker culture in Singapore is very unique. However, due to rising food prices and cost of living, the hawker culture is weakening. This has led to a decline in the number of hawker stalls and thus, a loss in some of our traditional foods that are integral to our identity.
This mobile application aims to contribute to the preservation of the hawker culture in Singapore. By increasing the accessibility to affordable and diverse hawker food, we can connect consumers to hawker owners to support our local entrepreneurs.
Our team comprises individuals who are keen in learning new software engineering practices that can help create solutions to industry problems. We decided to reach out to you as your areas of interest in Flutter as well as Database Systems align with the expertise that we require in carrying out our project. We are sure that with your guidance, we will be able to upgrade our knowledge in this field to complete our task and hopefully deploy it for public use.
Splitmah is a bill-splitting app. With an ever increasing number of payment methods, we understand that splitting expenses can be a hassle, especially when dealing with multiple people, and multiple expenses of varying amounts and types. Splitmah aims to simplify the process of finding out who owes what, thereby making managing shared expenses a breeze.
The tech stacks we plan to use are mainly Flutter and Firebase, which are in line with your areas of interest. We hope that by having you as our mentor, we get to learn more about software development and obtain guidance from someone who is vastly more experienced than us.
Despite having little prior experience in SWE, as a team, we are committed to learning as much as we can, and are willing to tough it out to produce a quality bill-splitting app.We are eager to learn as much we can about software engineering, and most importantly, from you.
We hope you consider being a mentor for our team. Thanks!
We are reaching out to you to express our interest in having you as our mentor for our project, Make it Count.
Make it Count is a mobile and web application that aims to allow NUS staff and students to better manage their nutrition and well-being through the use of Artificial Intelligence and gamification. We aim to implement an image recognition AI that can recognise dishes served in NUS canteens and provide the nutritional breakdown and calorie information of the dish. Furthermore, Make it Count uses machine learning to be able to provide personalised and customisable meal and workout plans based on NUS facilities.
Our project involves cross platform mobile and web development, as well as the use of databases for authentication and image storing purposes. We intend to use Flutter for the mobile application and React for the website. We believe that you would be an excellent mentor for our group and we would benefit greatly from your insights and expertise in these areas. Despite not having much experience in these areas, we are committed to learning and making this project a successful one. We hope to develop good development practices under your guidance and support.
We are team rEZcycle! Our project is a web app which allows users to recycle more seamlessly through the provision of concise and user-friendly information, obtained from web scraping of the NEA website. We are passionate about making use of the power of technology to catalyse the recycling movement in Singapore, and are willing to pick up new tech stacks to improve our web app’s performance. Given your experience in web development, we humbly seek your invaluable guidance and consideration to mentor us, and we look forward to building an MVP of our recycling app together with you. Thank you for your time, and we hope to hear from you!
