Background:
Several Areas of PoliTO, in collaboration with some faculty members, are working on developing the new university app.
One of the proposed features is the digitalization of maps within the application.
The goal of the challenge, with a focus on inclusivity of PoliTO comunity, is to involve the students in the development and definition of the feature requirements.
This challenge will help students develop new skills that can be valuable in the job market, either with new startup companies specializing in these systems or as employees in innovative companies.
Challenge:
Specific lessons will be organized to help students understand the process of designing the spatial database and its entities.
The “make” phase will focus on testing in public spaces, with the dual goals of completing the app through application supporting maps.
App functions testing on the field:
- Verifying the presence of ramps and accessible routes for disabled individuals;
- Assessing the accessibility of restrooms;
- Evaluating the accessibility of the cafeteria and the location of student services;
- Mapping the location of information points;
- Assessing the accessibility of student office services.
