University is a great time to learn new skills and team up with other entrepreneurs. With startups seemingly appearing out of thin air, it’s only normal for students to jump on board and show what they can do!
Here are some of the best apps created by students, that really took the tech world by storm:
Winter Survival Kit — developed by two business and engineering students at North Dakota State University
This app might not be a big earner, but it has the potential to help people who really need it! Apps that serve a function or fill a specific gap are likely to catch the eyes of potential employers and investors.
Description: “Winter Survival Kit will help you find your current location and help you notify your friends and family. Winter Survival Kit also provides NDSU Extension Service information on how to put together a physical winter survival kit, how to prepare your vehicle for winter driving, and how to stay safe when stranded in a winter storm.”
UinDosh — built by students from Manchester Metropolitan University and Nottingham Trent University
Named one of the top 200 EU startups by Webit festival Europe, this app aims to connect students who wish to buy and sell objects and services, including dog walking, CV writing, and music lessons.
Pulse — developed by Stanford University students majoring in Computer Science and Political Science
This app, developed with the US in mind, aims to bring voters closer to their elected member of Congress. The idea is that they can give their opinions on legislation in an easy way, making their voices heard. Voters of any age and background are invited to create accounts and connect on important issues.
Prelinks — launched in Newcastle by two UK graduates
According to its description on the Google Play store: “Prelinks is the app that sorts your uni night out, start to finish. We show you a list of the best events coming up in your city every week. Pick your favourite club night, gig, or one-off event to see who else is going and how popular it’s going to be.”
