A problem that long plagued many Penn students has been solved by the ingenuity of their peers.
PennApps Labs — an organization that hires student developers to create applications that improve life at the University — recently launched a website containing a comprehensive real-time list of available study spaces on and off campus. The website — PennStudySpaces.com — eliminates the inconvenience of having to search throughout campus to find a quiet place to do work.
The website has a user-friendly interface and has generated positive initial feedback from students.
Last semester, the Undergraduate Assembly contributed over $2,000 to establish PennApps Labs.
We commend the UA’s support for the organization, which has successfully tapped into the talent pool of very capable student developers and provides a valuable service to the University community.
We hope to see many more great ideas come out of PennApps Labs in the future.
