| DORM STARTUP GOES VIRAL Two computer science majors, Priya Singh and Marco Alvarez, transformed a late-night coding session into a nationwide sensation. Their app, PlanForge, designed to help students organize assignments and track deadlines, was launched from their dorm room at the end of the semester. "We built it to survive finals," Priya laughed. Within a week, downloads skyrocketed past 10,000, and alumni investors began reaching out. The duo has been invited to present at a major tech conference. "It's surreal," Marco said. "We never imagined this level of attention." Students are thrilled. "It's a lifesaver—I finally feel on top of my work," said sophomore Jenna Brooks. The university's entrepreneurship center has offered mentorship to the two computer science majors. Professors have called the innovation a perfect example of student creativity. Priya and Marco hope to expand the app's features to include group-project tools and reminders, proving big ideas can start in small dorm rooms. |
