This paper looks into the reasoning, context, and process behind the creation of the Step Up App to be used in the Step Up Club. The Step Up Club is a peer tutoring high school organization that allows students to tutor one another. The paper explains the background and the issues that exist with peer tutoring regarding challenges in communication between tutors and tutees. The app aims to provide the solution for many of those problems in creating a new platform in which students can communicate to one another about any questions regarding school academics.
