The document discusses a team project about mobility. The team defines mobility as connections, self-identity, and efficiency. Their target audience is college students, particularly international students. They conduct research from various articles and note how the articles relate to mobility, such as forward motion through sharing. The team identifies problems with mobility as self-improvement being delayed by deprivation. Their target audience of international college students faces deprivations like language barriers and time management. Their proposed solution is an application to help students move forward in getting work done while spending more time on important tasks and less time managing deadlines.
