The three computer science students created the website “Quarantine Buddy,” a platform that aims to introduce strangers to each other. “We wanted to make something to help people have a human connection, interact with others and give them something to do while still in quarantine,” Brickman said. The trio pulled two all-nighters in a row with a desire to get the platform up and running as fast as possible. When someone logs onto Quarantine Buddy, they are asked what they have been doing during quarantine so far and what they are looking for in a buddy. Quarantine Buddy is bringing together unlikely matches, with people ranging from ages 18 to 80 years old, from over 15 countries and spread across six continents.
