Tranquility

Here's a full write-up for each section:

Inspiration Academic stress affects millions of students every semester. We wanted to build something that actually addressed the root causes, scattered schedules, confusing course loads, and no real way to decompress. What it does Tranquility helps students manage academic stress through AI powered EC and course recommendations based on their major, a Canvas calendar sync via API, Zen Games for stress relief, and built in timers and time management tools. How we built it We built Tranquility using a combination of frontend frameworks, an integrated AI model, and the Canvas API to enable real time calendar syncing. We designed the Zen Games from scratch and built custom recommendation logic for courses and extracurriculars. Challenges we ran into Integrating the Canvas API was our biggest hurdle, as authentication and data formatting required significant troubleshooting. Balancing feature depth with a clean, calming user experience was also a constant challenge. Accomplishments that we're proud of We successfully integrated a live Canvas calendar sync, built a functioning AI recommendation engine, and created Zen Games that genuinely feel relaxing and polished. What we learned We learned how to work with third party APIs under time pressure, the importance of user centered design, and how to scope a project effectively as a team. What's next for Tranquility We plan to expand school compatibility, add more Zen Games, introduce social study features, and refine the AI recommendations with real user feedback.
