Long gone are the days were fresh students
have hard times getting familiar with the school environment, school rules and
regulations and a bunch of other requirements. BUKGuide is an app with the sole
purpose of simplifying campus experience for both new and returning students of
Bayero University Kano.
Ahmad Bature, a
co-developer who also designed the app UX and UI said, "It has not been
easy for new students to have the real feel of the university setting (BUK),
this app was born from problems over the years and it is here to solve it. We
design the app out of passion for using the latest technology to solve problems
and also out of compassion to assist students to navigate around with ease and
explore the school environment".
The app was
developed by both an alumni and a final year student of the school. Some of the
features on the app are the school history, faculties and principal officers. Voice
it out is also a unique feature where you can type and it will voice out the
words typed in. "This feature i believe will be modified and enhance
communication among special education students" said Umar Auna a
co-developer of the app.
BUKguide will be
launched at Startup Kano Hub on the 20th of January, 2017. It
is a low key event with some invited guest but will be streamed live. You can get the link for the live streaming on Startup Kano Instagram bio. The app will also be
available on Google PlayStore and will be officially released during the launch.
