Tasks
Imagine we are working on a carpool management system to help registered users share car rides with other users traveling on the same route. The user may share a car or ride with another user who is willing to share.
(Note: We are not implementing anything; we will only consider functionalities or services the users may expect from this system and data needed to provide the services. Feel free to explore further 😊)
- Team with your neighbors (you may team with as many neighbors as your want, but probably not more than 10)
- Get to know your team. Using the two-breath rule, introduce yourself, share your name, major(s), the year you are in.
