Designed to bring students’ college applications to life, ZeeMee is a platform for students and colleges. ZeeMee is a free app that allows students to showcase themselves for college admissions, through photos and videos.

- Profiles can be made private and unsearchable online, so that only those with the link will be able to see them
- Once a student is accepted to a college, they can upload their acceptance letter to ZeeMee which grants them access to pick roommates and join their college’s ZeeMee group

Josh's presentation about social media was unbelievably fantastic. Our students learned so much about what kids should and shouldn't be doing. The fact that it is such a thoughtful process made it all worthwhile.
