CUNY Tech Prep at NYC PIT Pop Up
June 4 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join CUNY Tech Prep and PIT @ CUNY at the NYC PIT Pop Up for a day of demos and conversation!
Three group projects will be demoed, focusing on promoting public good related to transportation, recreation, and finance:
- HerRide: HerRide is a community-based carpooling platform that helps women travel together more safely and comfortably. The app connects verified women riders and drivers heading in the same direction through real-time route matching and an interactive map interface. Created to address safety concerns around commuting alone, HerRide offers a more trustworthy and community-oriented alternative to traditional rideshare services. By Rafayet and Damaris
- WeatherorNot: WeatherOrNot is a web-based application developed to provide users with accurate and actionable weather information in order to support informed decision-making for outdoor activities, particularly sports. The application collects weather data and presents it in a clear interface, allowing users to quickly determine whether current and forecasted conditions are suitable for outdoor sports.

- Worthwise: WorthWise is a college return on investment (ROI) planning application that helps students make informed decisions about higher education. The platform enables users to compare colleges and programs, calculate true costs (tuition, housing, and living expenses), and project financial outcomes based on post-graduation earnings data. Users can analyze ROI, debt-to-income ratios, payback periods, and compare up to four scenarios simultaneously. The application integrates data from trusted government sources, including the U.S. Department of Education, HUD, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Energy Information Administration.
