The main goal for the project is to update the backend and frontend of the mobile website used to collect campers' blood sugars for use at diabetes sports camps over the summer. Additionally, the project aims to create a one-pager user guide for the staff on how to best utilize the mobile website.


This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:


- Understanding the current functionality and limitations of the existing mobile website.


- Updating the backend of the website to improve data collection and storage.


- Updating the frontend to enhance user experience and accessibility.


- Testing the updated website to ensure it functions as intended.


- Creating a one-pager user guide for the staff on how to effectively use the mobile website.


Deliverables

By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:


- Updated backend and frontend of the mobile website.


- Testing documentation and results to ensure the website functions properly.


- One-pager user guide for staff on how to best utilize the mobile website.


- Final report detailing the updates made and the rationale behind the changes.


- Presentation to the I Challenge Diabetes team explaining the updates and how to use the new features.

Mentorship

The student will receive training and ongoing support by Operations Manager and Project Manager. They will be guided through the organization's strategic plan and how it aligns with the project strategies. They will be part of a collaborative, innovative and team-oriented environment. They will have the opportunity to attend weekly meetings with the larger team at ICD in addition to smaller meetings with those involved in the web development project.

They will be gaining hands on experience creating relevant content, implementing and executing objectives. Students will always be provided with an opportunity to ask questions and have them addressed along with weekly check-ins with the ICD Team. This is an excellent opportunity for students to assimilate a multitude of skills and develop professionally. Students gain applicable knowledge and experience in real life context.
