Information and Communication Technologies for Development

This week was very productive in terms of flushing out the project idea. Our team finished the write-in, heard back from our community partner in Malawi, and met several times with community partners, mentors, and as a group. We found out detailed information about the Beehive school including number of students/teachers, computer abilities, demographics of their students, and the price of electricity. We met with the course instructors to clarify our project idea and to receive feedback from them. Through the write-up, we determined a tentative timeline, assigned individual roles, and figured out the different steps of our approach to solve the problem.

Overall, the week was very successful and the team has a good sense of what we need to do and where the project is going.
