StudyUp is a collaborative, educational take on the classic game "Heads Up!"
Students of all levels can understand that traditional studying is oftentimes an overwhelming, dull experience. Offering methods of group studying is something that addresses this problem by offering a game-ified solution. The countless benefits of group studying include improved understanding, increased motivation, and better memory retention. On the Education track, we hope that this app can offer users a way to have fun and Study Up before their next exam!
This game has a minimum of 2 players.

Ideally, we want to implement cross-platform implementation with applications such as Quizlet and Anki so that users can utilize their existing databases. Additionally, using AI to convert notes into sets can also be a great future addition.
