Team: Ellis Fischer, Nicole Howard, Samantha Vowles, Emma Woodburn
Faculty Advisor: Nadra Guizani email
Sponsor: CEDE
In place of participating in the current time-consuming system of Men’s Basketball ticket distribution, Gonzaga University students will use the mobile web application KennelNow to easily request, accept or deny, cancel, or view tickets to upcoming Men’s Basketball games. Tickets will be distributed to students using a tentative lottery point system.
CPSC 06 Fresh All
Team: Quinlan Bingham, Kevin Bruce, Bennett Falkenberg, Amy Larson, Angela Rae
Faculty Advisor: Nadra Guizani email
Sponsor: Fresh All
We are developing a new integrated system to better link suppliers, distributors, packhouses, and input suppliers to reduce the price of food products in rural Eastern Africa, Mozambique. On the ground we are training local farmers in improved farming techniques, coordinating with a packhouse, and hoping to have a phone application developed to further link customers to clients thereby reducing the number of middlemen, increasing smallholder farmer incomes, and combating malnutrition by making food products more affordable.
CPSC 07 Tools for Learning Biochemistry
Team: Stephen Joyce, Kayla Larson, Makayla Moniz, Garett Palm
