Design Document:
Purpose:
We created Bixr to improve the Bicker process at Princeton. The point of bicker is to help upperclassmen get to know underclassmen so that they can decide whether or not they want the underclassmen in their club. Underclassmen attend 1-2 sessions a day, for 3 days. At these sessions, they play games or have conversations with as many people as they can. This can be stressful and we thought that there should be a better way to meet people. Bixr helps students meet each other throughout the year and allows them to participate in activities they actually enjoy. Our website allows students to host and join events.
