Mobile Application Development

Positions available: 6 (2 teams of 3 would be ideal) We would like to get an application developed for a new and exciting exhibit coming to the Museum this summer. With all of the changes due to covid-19 the Museum has had to adapt to get its exhibits and content out to the public, specifically via digital and virtual events and programs. Our latest exhibit is called the Military Heritage Walking Trail, and will involve sites in and around the city of Owen Sound that have a unique and specific military history. Because the bulk of this exhibit will be outside the physical walls of the Museum we need a way to curate the experience and make sure all of the information for each stop on the walking tail is accessible and interesting in the form of a mobile ap. We aren’t sure which platform we would like for it to be built on, but we have an idea of what we would like it to do. We would like to work with students who have new and creative ideas to engage our public, we are open to new ideas and love creativity, an interest in history would be an asset but is not required! Students should be prepared to: Conduct a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable. Create a design proposal including mock-ups, budget, and timeline. Create a eye catching marketing logo/poster for the Military Heritage Walking Trail exhibit so it is instantly recognizable and connected with Billy Bishop Museum. Build a fully-functioning mobile application. Provide training on updating and maintaining the site.
