It’s very important to study as a university student. But it’s not necessarily a process that should always be done alone, as there are plenty of people who would rather study and hang out together with their friends in the process! In fact, it might even just be the best way for certain types of people to learn!

However, it might be tough finding places for groups of friends to hang out. There is always the COVID pandemic to worry about as well, with forming groups even possibly being limited with under the event of an outbreak.

This is why me and my group’s Digital Artefact “Unlax” focuses on tackling these issues, providing up-to-date information and resources for university students looking for a comfy, affordable place with their friends to hang out, relax and study.

Our digital artefact’s name “Unlax” is a portmanteau created by the two keywords “University” and “Relax“. In the spirit of our project’s name, we seek to provide an insight on Hong Kong’s many havens where relaxation is the priority as well. We hope to promote group studying as well, because not only is it a fun time, it can be a relaxing way to cope with the hardships of studying rather than doing it alone!

The idea is comparing different staycations/study areas prices in Hong Kong and their features with our model of an ideal study spot, namely:

1. Cost-effective (Below $200)
2. Comfortable, air-conditioned, and clean.
3. Strong and stable Wi-Fi
4. Provision of free catering
5. Quiet environment
6. Printers and possibly computers.

We intend to individually check out each study area through actually visiting these areas ourselves, and then post our reviews through our blog, Instagram and Twitter. The videos would be showcased on our YouTube channel too!

Our target audience are university students, and most university students already have the aforementioned social media. We hope that our project would be able to reach them aswell!
