“Studo” is an innovative app, offering students a flexible platform for accumulating scholarship volunteering hours.

Tasks include assisting children with homework, helping the elderly, and participating in community activities. “Studo” features: easy login via Google or email; personalized task matching; transparent hour tracking; and seamless integration with scholarship providers via an ‘application programming interface’ (API) and uses “React Native” for the front end and “Node.js” for the back end, with ‘continuous integration/continuous deployment’ (CI/CD) pipelines powered by “Jenkins”, ensuring fast updates and reliable code testing.
