Spring 2025 Projects

Projects Overview

The theme for the group project is: social justice. Students were encouraged to think of a number of important issues related to the theme and find compelling areas that are personally meaningful to them. In this cohort, students were encouraged to focus on needs from the Twin Ports community. We received support from Dr. Katre (Associate Professor, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, World Languages and Cultures Department) and UMD Engage Office to develop the community connections.

"Speaking with people in the community gave us real insight into what was actually needed. That input shaped our design and kept us grounded in issues of the real world. It gave me the understanding that technology is strongest when it's shaped by the people most familiar with the problem."
