Music Appreciation

SOS Game

For this class project, I was tasked with creating a board game utilizing a Python Gui. The game is similar to tic-tac-toe except the board can be any size that the user inputs and there are different rules for a simple or general game. In a simple game, the person or computer to spell SOS on the board first, wins. In a general game, the person or computer tries to spell SOS as many times as possible and when all the spaces have been filled then the player that has the most SOS's wins.

Commerce Bank Application

For this class project, I was on a team with four other students, and we partnered with Commerce Bank to create a web application that would let a user create an account to keep track of bank transactions. Our team met twice a week throughout the semester, planning and creating our web application, while also having regular meetings with the bank team to iron out requirements. We decided everything from the layout to the look of the site while following Commerce Bank's style guidelines.

Caregiver Tracking Application

For this class project, I was on a team with two other students and we were tasked with creating a web application for a certain disability group. We all had personal experience with loved ones who had dementia, and we wanted to create a web application for the caregivers. Our application made it easier for different caregivers to keep track of the mood a person was in, what medications had been given, when their last meal was etc. This way when a new caregiver showed up for their shift, they could reference the web application and know exactly what had already been accomplished and what still needs to be done.
