The academic curriculum at most faculties in NUS carries a high proportion of project work. This increases the likelihood of every student working on at least one, if not several projects during their studies. Project work not directly pegged to modules are also encouraged for student learning and experience, with NUS having a yearly Student Achievement Award that recognize these efforts. However, the conclusion of student projects at the end of an academic module or stipulated deadline tends to abruptly end work on them without prospects for continuation. This means that previously invested intellectual and financial resources are often wasted when the projected deadlines cause discontinuation of further development of student ideas. Titled ‘Project Match-Make‘, our team aims to bridge the pool of existing student-led projects with the students who would potentially want to work/continue on similar projects. This would ensure the long-term sustainability of such ideas and projects. Our project involves the development of a school-based platform that serves as a medium for students to publicize their ideas and recruit new talent, and to aid interested students in seeking out relevant existing project ideas in their field of interest. Our intended project audience is the NUS student body.
