Artifacts
Kicking off with immersive social events, we keenly observed how users engaged with diverse event apps, unraveling their unique discovery methods. Subsequently, a survey involving 200+ college-aged individuals nationwide was conducted. Our hypothesis rested on the prevalence of event and social media apps in event discovery. Through our research, we aimed not only to confirm this assumption but also to uncover nuanced insights, enriching our understanding of user preferences and behaviors.
