Mariyam Khalid and Barbara Kuofie harnessed their engineering backgrounds to launch the Culture Pilot app last year.
During a trip to Italy, they came up with an idea to start an app for travelers who want to learn more about the places they're visiting.
Locally, the app features content from places such as the American Writers Museum, Design Museum of Chicago, Faie African Art Gallery and Graceland Cemetery on the North Side. Kuofie and Khalid hope to expand their reach to more cities and outside of the U.S. to help people better understand different cultures.
