Local-Good-Inventory

The Local Good Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the community through their various programs for education, wellness, job readiness etc. The goal of the project is to develop a web-based self check-in for the community members coming to the food pantry of Local Good Center. The team is divided into two subteams, each dedicated to working on the front-end and back-end side of the website. The Spring 2022 team will focus on documenting all the requirements for the project through discussing with the Local Good Center representative and consulting the EPICS advisors. Then the team will create a basic UI/UX design of the website for the front end, and a database design for the backend. The team will finally implements aspects of the design to construct a basic prototype of the website by the end of the semester.
