Roadrunner Connect
What is Roadrunner Connect?
A student-built mobile app that unifies campus event discovery into one intuitive platform. By combining maps, rewards, and social features, Roadrunner Connect makes it fun and easy to explore what MSU Denver has to offer — a live Flutter/Dart app with 200+ downloads on the Apple App Store and Google Play, built as part of the C3 Lab (Community-Centered Computing Lab).
