Rudra and Terrell’s project, “Town Square,” is a local business directory app that helps residents connect with nearby businesses that fit their needs. The app allows users to search local shops by name, industry, ratings, and most visits. The students created “Town Square” to increase the visibility and engagement of local businesses and help alleviate some of the stress of marketing. Watch the students demonstrate their app here. “Congratulations to Rudra and Terrell on their winning app,” said Congressman Higgins. “Town Square’s mission to help local businesses succeed is admirable.
