About StuWin
StuWin is a student-developed academic platform built for fellow students navigating college life, especially in Canada. It was designed as a final-semester Software Engineering project for CSCI 275, Summer 2025.
Our main motive behind working on this project was:
Why We Built StuWin
Many of us had faced situations like missing quiz dates, not knowing what grades were needed to reach our GPA goal, or losing our notes after Moodle deleted them post-semester, or wanting to track our study time. StuWin was born out of these frustrations — and turned into a tool for:
- Tracking GPA goals and assessments dynamically
- Receiving study reminders and deadline alerts
- Planning courses and syncing with calendars
- Maintaining journals, notes, and progress graphs
Our Vision
StuWin is more than just an app — it’s a student survival kit. We want every user to feel more in control, more prepared, and less stressed during their semester. Our mission is to support the little wins, the daily effort, and the quiet hustle behind every success story.
