QUEERY
Cooper Union's Summer STEM - CS for Social Good
Our Goal
Within the queer community, there are countless resources available for those most in need. However, for a teenager kicked out of their home, it can be very difficult to discover such resources. For the most vulnerable members of our community, information is hardest to find. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between resources and their recipients, and centralize information regarding LGBTQ resources for anyone to easily access.
Our Plan
In order to help tackle the inequality faced by the queer community, our group intends to create a website compiling information regarding queer friendly resources for homeless youth (e.g. homeless shelters, public gender neutral bathrooms) into a map and allowing users to review said resources. Resembling a service such as Yelp, our web app will bring crowd-sourced information to the fingertips of LGBTQ community.
