A group of Johns Creek High School students created a way for students who stay after class for activities to find a ride home, and they won a large cash prize for their alma mater.
Last year, Sneha Iyer and her sister, Preeti, were seniors on the Johns Creek robotics team.
Sneha said the upperclassmen members of the team had cars to drive, but noticed that underclassmen who wanted toool students created what they hope will be a solution to transportation proble join the team had the problem of trying to arrange rides home from after school events.
“There were numerous obstacles that prevented students from participating in activities,” Sneha said.
It was then that the the Iyers and four other high school seniors decided to create an app to help their school mates arrange after-school transportation. Last spring, the students designed the Vroom ride-sharing app that allows students to catch rides withother students’ parents to or from school. The seniors got a beta version out, but it may be up to the next class to finish the work and get it distributed.
