Summer Playbook is a website that helps students meet up by showing their locations and how they would like to interact. Luke Heine founded the program in order to connect Harvard students during the summer of 2014, and is now used by students from 138 universities in over 120 countries.[1]
History[edit]
Summer Playbook is a project conceived in 2014 by Harvard student Luke Heine for the purpose of connecting students over the summer term. Joined later by Stanford student William Bauer and fellow Harvard student Mark Steinbrick, the trio launched Summer Playbook's web platform in 2015, displaying the locations of Ivy League users on a world map to allow them to identify others in nearby areas.[2][3]
Growth[edit]
In just under a week in 2014, the form logged over 550 locations and 500 people, spanning across six continents. From Argentinians to Australians, hundreds of undergraduates quickly filled the map with red markers. In the summer of 2019, Summer Playbook ventures into New Zealand tapping into the Pacific region for the first time.[4]
Launch[edit]
The 2015 Summer Playbook focused on building an inter-Ivy traveling community and will open up its service to other Ivy League schools in the second phase of the project in 2015. Summer Playbook is now live for Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Yale University and Yale-NUS College.[5]
