The recent rise of the COVID - 19 pandemic brought light to the significance of working together as a community around college campuses to help each other. Consequently, the inability of working together in a pandemic led many students to prefer delaying their college start altogether. The MQP team saw an opportunity to develop timebanks on college campuses as an alternate mechanism for working together. Timebanking is a mode of exchange that lets people interchange skills through the exchange of time rather than money. This report focuses on identifying potential target users for a timebanking platform and forms a bridge between user needs and platform specifications. The MQP team collected data through interviewing campus occupants and surveying possible end users. The data was analyzed using Hypothesis testing to develop recommendations for a timebanking platform.
