Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Positions available: One student, or one already established team of up to four students with a team lead who would be my primary contact. This team must already have good working relationships amongst each other and complementary skills (ie - UI/UX/Design vs Swift, vs web development, etc.)
NOTICE: We are no longer accepting applications for the spring semester. You are welcome to apply if you wish to work in the summer/fall.
We've developed a prototype of a mental health support app as a web application with Alexa Skills and SMS integration, (www.mycheerleader.net) but need to move into being an iPhone application so that we can grow. The feedback from users we've received so far is that they would be more likely to use it if it was an iPhone application rather than an Alexa skill or website.
This is a rapid prototyping / get stuff live / practice lean startup, agile, and MVP development and testing project. You won't spend all your time ideating - we've already done that. Your goal is to help us get real live MVP work done, where other people can see it, give us feedback to help us improve, and be able to use the live, working product(s) to show future employers that you've got the skills, not just the education when you graduate and are trying to get hired.
Based on your skill set, we'll work together on what reasonable next steps in MVP development and testing should look like. We'll be using Jira, Slack, and Jit.si for communicating asynchronously and live.
Students should be prepared to:
- Create and launch at least 1 initial MVP of the iphone app in the store
- Create detailed documentation on work performed and the structure that would enable an easy-hand-off to a future intern or other team members in the future
- Edit existing MyCheerleader.net site as needed to link to the iPhone app once launched.
