Civic Tech

IUnited is the new way for students/staff to connect and give feedback to Indiana University's administration, introducing Civic Technology to campus! With our app, students are able to discuss amongst themselves, while staying anonymous. Our app also allows users to stay informed regarding news surrounding IU and Bloomington, and this could later be implemented to other colleges/campuses.

Our Project

United is an app fully designed by a passionate group of Latino developers that lets students and staff discuss ongoing issues at IU through chat rooms and polls. A few features our app includes the ability to vote on polls. The results from these polls will later be forwarded to IU's administration. Users are able to read IU/Bloomington related articles from trusted sources in our app, in order to stay informed. Users can post events going on around the Bloomington community.

United is Indiana University's new form of civic technology, connecting students, faculty, staff, and the administration! Come join the discussion and help us keep Bloomington informed!
