There are tons of events going on at the University of Maryland at any given time. The information about these events are usually relayed to students through various channels. However we feel that this system is not interactive enough nor is it comprehensive enough. Information about different types of events are located in different places and it is quite difficult for new students to the University to know where to get all this information. Also a lot of the information for these events are found on bulliten boards or flyers passed out by individuals. This way of sharing information is dated and does not fit this digital world that we live in.
 * The problem:**

We believe there is a simpler more efficient way to post and find events that is why for our project we will create an event planning/posting system. This system will be similar to an online bulletin board where users can input their information. This information consists of but is not limited to their name, location, time and date of the event. They can also include a detailed description of the event. The users will be able to make an account in order to quickly post future events, and to allow them to RSVP for other events. The interface will consist of a map which will have user specific markers indicating the events location. Once clicked on these markers will open an info window that provides the user with more information about the event. Below the map will be a list of all of the events posted to the map for quick reference. Above the map will be a filter button for certain types of events and to the right of the map will be a search bar and the box for registering new events.
 * Our Solution:**

Our target users for this site will be University of Maryland clubs/activities, and students. Also campus organizations such as SEE and The University Career Center. We feel that it is time to update the old system of information delivery and that the majority of students possess smartphones or laptops. We plan to create this website using Javascript, html, and css.
