Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
We are looking to leverage AI in our existing web and mobile apps that allow parents of students in K12 to meet and collaborate organizing carpools or their kids walking, biking or taking public transit together. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Analyzing our existing dataset of users, trips, and reviews.
- Developing an AI-powered matching algorithm.
- Optimizing software runtime performance and assessing areas for improvement.
- Researching other variables that can improve the quality of matches.
- Accounting for additional variables in the matching algorithm.
- Testing the developed software and making improvements based on additional data.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of our existing dataset of users, user behaviors following finding matches, whether users create trips, and/or abandon the create trip process.
- Understanding of variables that affect the quality of matches
- Identification of areas for future improvement of the software to increase sticky user behavior
Bonus steps would include:
- Testing the developed software with users and accounting for additional parameters
Final deliverables should include
- All source code.
- A written report explaining the design process and outcomes.

Every school district in North America is not only struggling with transportation issues such as cost, logistics, and capacity, they are facing a looming crisis associated with conventional transportation models. There’s no second wave of bus drivers coming, and shifts to electric buses, while laudable, will not address the underlying challenges.
Go Together sees this, and sees all the potential that resides in the communities that school districts serve. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.
Go Together, founded by Charles King and I, is upending how schools address student transportation. Not only is there a national shortage of available drivers, there’s an abundant need to unilaterally transform the way students get to and from school and school-based activities. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.
Go Together is doing just that, equipping school districts and individual schools with safe and reliable community-based transportation options that utilize a modern approach to the time-tested notion of carpools, walking, biking or taking public transit together.
