Students at Stanford University have to find each other in groups for many projects in order to work together on an assignment. Lecturers provide students with Excel lists where they can sign up. In this way, students can see who else is working on the project and look for specific groups.

But often the search for suitable group members turns out to be difficult. Often in larger courses there are also a large number of students. Another problem with matching in an Excel list is the possibility of misunderstandings and miscommunications. If the information in the list is not clear and precise, there can be confusion about who wants to work with whom. One way to counteract this problem is to use group-finding tools. These tools allow students to indicate their skills and interests and then be automatically matched with other students who have provided similar information.‍

Together with Disco and Stanford University, 02100 Digital has developed a tool for finding groups. We accompanied and supported the entire process from ideation to development.
