About:

Johnny has been working with Dr. Kim Gallon and members of the Black Health Heritage Lab on several community outreach projects. Under Terina Keller's guidance, Johnny designed a Community Profile Flyer template that is easily editable, allowing for the quick creation of personalized flyers for organizations in Rhode Island that serve Black communities. The project has since advanced to designing modular page templates for creating comprehensive community guides for these organizations.

Additionally, Johnny is collaborating with Asha Baker to design, develop, and release a browser game aimed at enhancing the data literacy skills of children at the Vincent Brown Recreation Center. The game's content is informed by the Rhode Island Core Standards for Mathematics from the Rhode Island Department of Education and seeks to supplement these skills. The game is being developed using the Godot game engine, with the goal of making it playable on both mobile and desktop browsers.
