Project Javelin

Project Javelin is a mobile app that helps users navigate and access the vast amounts of data generated by the Olympics.

Background

Client

Our client is Juan Juan, the CEO of Fanalyze. His company provides an app that lets users analyze sports and betting data, compare players and teams, and stay up to date with the latest sports news. He wanted to expand their capabilities with a service that enables users to follow the Olympics with the same ease and enthusiam as the NFL, NBA, and MLB playoffs.

Project

Juan recognized that it was difficult for fans to follow their favorite Olympic athletes and events due to the huge amount of data available through fragmented sources. He proposed an app that would help fans experience the Olympics by providing the following features:

• Search for countries, events, and athletes
• Build a personal profile to receive timely and relevant results and notifications
• View the dates and times of upcoming events
• View recent social media posts via Twitter integration
• View current medal counts for each country/athlete
• View athlete stats
• Compare athletes side-by-side
• Track the location of the Olympic torch

TechKnow—a team of eight senior computer science students at CSU Sacramento—accepted the challenge, and Project Javelin was born.
