Problem
University students often struggle to find collaborators with complementary skills for projects, limiting their ability to gain practical experience and build a professional portfolio. Existing methods for finding collaborators are often inefficient, relying on personal networks or general online forums that may not be tailored to specific skill sets or project needs.
