It’s hard to get involved in high school. How do you know what you are interested in when you are only 14? And how do you know where to start?

“The visual community on the discover page allows students to see every group and, with one swipe, see everything each club on campus has to offer,” Simpson said.

Released on Sep. 5, Bonfire makes it easier than ever for students to join and be part of clubs on campus. Simpson and Gamini created the app because they witnessed how hard it can be to be a part of and run clubs firsthand.
