SmartCampus Hub: Tackling Waste and Hunger with One App
The Problem
Two everyday struggles every student knows too well:
Waste: At the end of each semester, piles of books, clothes, electronics, and even furniture end up discarded.
Late-Night Hunger: Canteens close early, but study sessions stretch past midnight. Students either go hungry or settle for unhealthy quick fixes.
Individually, these issues look small. But across campus, they lead to wasted resources, wasted money, and wasted energy.

The Solution: SmartCampus Hub
A two-in-one platform designed to make campus life more sustainable, affordable, and student-friendly.
1️⃣ Circular Economy Zone
Students can swap, donate, or resell textbooks, clothes, electronics, and furniture.
Verified student profiles ensure safe, trust-based exchanges.
Promotes reuse, reduces waste, and saves money.
2️⃣ Dorm Snack Exchange
Students list extra snacks (noodles, chips, biscuits, drinks) on the app.
Peers in the same dorm can request/exchange them during late-night study hours.
Turns everyday dorm extras into a mini midnight economy.

Real-Life Use Cases
A senior resells last semester’s textbooks at half-price → juniors save money.
A student donates extra clothes → another student benefits without spending.
Hungry at midnight? Trade a pack of chips for a cold drink from your neighbor.

Why It Matters
For Students: Save money, get essentials easily, fuel study nights.
For Campus: Reduced waste, greener image.
For Community: Builds peer-to-peer trust and sharing culture.

My Motivation
I’ve seen huge waste piles when students leave campus, and I’ve also sat hungry during long exam nights with no options. SmartCampus Hub solves both pain points in one system: reuse + food access.
