Software Capstone: Working with the Food Pantry

So, it isn’t confirmed that I will be focusing on working on the food pantry, but I would like to talk about the new Worcester State University Food Pantry system. According to the article at http://alumni.worcester.edu/s/140/social.aspx?sid=140&gid=1&pgid=3464&cid=5649&ecid=5649&crid=0&calpgid=15&calcid=848 the food pantry is set to open this January.

Miss / Misses Maxfield, a senior of Worcester State, had gone through many trials and tribulations with her parents when she was younger, leading her to be on her own and quickly losing the money she had saved up. Food issues arose and because of her experience and struggles, she and other students were inspired to start work on a food pantry here on campus.

I believe this is wonderful and helps very much supplement the SNAP program we have going on currently. Students and faculty of Worcester State can now go to the pantry and, with their ID, can get the right amount of food they need. I believe that many lives will not just be improved but possibly saved due to this movement.

 

So, what does this have to do with programming or computer science? Well, we are most likely going to be developing a database or some sort of system to keep track of the persons making use of the pantry, the supplies going in, and the supplies going out (just an educated guess.) What we would need to do is to get in touch with some of the people working on the food pantry and to ask them exactly what it is they want out of our program/programs.

Once we get started on this project I will have much more to write. Alternatively, I will possibly be working with health institutions that work in Southern Africa, which (if this is the case) I will instead write about said institutions and my work with them.

Until next time,
SMR

Software Capstone: First Day of Class

We started our course today; we have been introduced to the CATME project  (Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness.)

We are going to be using CATME to build our teams and for our professor to be able to survey our responses to questionnaires. It will be useful for us to find a better placement in our seperate groups and to figure out which person would be most suited for which kind of task.

For communication between team members, we will be using Slack (the programmers go-to team messaging and update system.) This will allow us to share files and keep in touch with the people we will be working with.

 

Regardless, it will be interesting to work in larger groups than I’ve done previously. Furthermore, we will be working with actual institutions of health and programming systems for places such as food banks. My next post should be focusing on some of the text we will be reading (articles and books primarily.) I will most likely be reviewing these texts and giving my interpretation of them.

I look forward to my next posting.
