CSCI 2830-005/4830-005
Technology for the Community


In this course, students use computers to do community service.   Student project groups work with representatives of local non-profit agencies to develop applications of value to those agencies.  

All interested students, from any major and with any level of computational experience, are welcome to enroll.   Freshmen and sophomores should enroll in CSCI 2830; juniors and seniors should enroll in CSCI 4830.

What you will do:
 

In this class, students work in teams to develop a computational solution to a problem posed by a local non-profit agency.   Project ideas were developed at a community workshop held in Boulder in February 2001 and attended by the Technology for the Community students, representatives of non-profit agencies, and various other interested community members.   A list of project topics available for this semester's course is posted here.

The course begins with a small preliminary project designed to introduce all students to web and database composition tools.
