Full-Stack Web Application Development with MERN and WordPress

The goal of this project is to provide learners with hands-on experience in full-stack web development using both modern and traditional technologies. The project involves creating a comprehensive web application that integrates a MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js) for the main functionality and a WordPress-based blog for content management. This dual approach ensures that learners gain practical skills in both cutting-edge and established web technologies. The project will require students to design, develop, and deploy a fully functional web application, allowing them to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. Key tasks include setting up databases, developing RESTful APIs, creating dynamic user interfaces, and managing content through WordPress.

Canada Black Music Archives - Content Writer & Researcher

The main goal for the project is to research and write biographical content for the Canada Black Music Archives (CBMA). This includes researching the historic accomplishments of Black Canadian musicians and their contributions to the Canadian music canon. The content identified should be engaging, informative, and respectful of the artists' legacies. Researching and uploading photo, audio, and video content to the CBMA website is also a goal of the project.

Fundraising Plan

Our organization is committed to serving our target population. However, we are currently facing funding challenges. We would like to collaborate with students to develop a fundraising plan to meet our goals. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals. Familiarizing themselves with our past fundraising activities and donors. Conducting background research on fundraising strategies. Recommending suitable fundraising strategies and creating a timeline / calendar of these activities. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Assisting in implementing new fundraising activities.
