Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 2 computer science students or teams.
The primary focus for the student will be: build and execute a conference platform for a virtual event and manage the IT, audio and technical systems
- Application Development - Selecting the best technologies for creating the application or feature (i.e. a real-time chat function); creating a fully-functioning application.
- Software Architecture Development - Architecting the software of a new product; improving the architecture of an existing system; porting an architecture of one system into another.
- Application Programming Interfaces - Redesigning an existing API to simplify it; changing API technologies; designing a new API; creating or updating public-facing documentation.
Our goal at the end of this experience is:
Application Development - For the student(s) to create a fully functioning application.
- Software Architecture Development - For the student(s) to provide a solution to our architecture issue to ensure optimal performance and sustainability.
- Software Evaluation (e.g. new CRM) - For the student(s) to help us choose the most ideal software to invest in based on our user and/or organizational needs.
- Application Programming Interfaces - For the student(s) to help us redesign an interface or help us implement a new API
Other duties the student may complete could include: (indicate other duties as exemplified below)
- Software vendor research and evaluation
- Assisting with other process improvement projects
- Unit and integration testing
- Responding to IT/Service Desk requests
We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Zoom, email and Google suites
Student's primary contact: Cheryl Sewell - Project Coordinator
Secondary contact: PAblita Thomas - Executive Director
