A Tale of Two Projects: Persona Modeling and Economic Impact Study for iTech
David Josue Molina*, Eldon Tsoi*, Yiqi YeAlternative Spring Break, Data Project
The FutureMakers Coalition aims to transform Southwest Florida’s (SWFL) workforce by increasing the proportion of working-age adults with college degrees, workforce certificates, industry certifications and other high-quality credentials to 55%. There are two goals for the project: (1) students would gather, manipulate, and analyze data to develop a profile that personifies a typical student at one of SWFL's technical colleges (Immokalee Technical College), (2) conduct an economic impact study to demonstrate the community role that this technical college has in the Immokalee community. The data source includes combining organization databases, paper reports, and governmental data.

Birdie TV
Wafa Khan*, Ge Jin*, Michelle Tao*, Evie Xu*, Dylan Yono*Design Clinic, UX Project
The average person spends 20 minutes picking a show to watch on Netflix, and Birdie wants to bring that down to 2 minutes through the power of trusted recommendations from friends. Originally conceived as an app to change the food and drink recommendation space dominated by Yelp, our Design Clinic team worked to convert the restaurant-based web app to support finding a TV show to watch. To that end, we identified and interviewed our target audience, created a TV-based prototype, conducted usability testing, and redesigned a final prototype for Birdie to suit the needs of TV lovers.
