Inspiration
We wanted to build an application that helped students experience Chicago while also teaching them about the CTA L line simultaneously. Many students struggle to find new experiences around the city and the logistics of traveling. We built an application that teaches students the CTA L line and near by landmarks with a fun interactive app.
