We began talking about the project and planning how to execute the production and updates of the website.

Began producing a website-  we begin to start posting COVID related posts over winter break. Currently working on aesthetics and website design.

As 2nd semester began, we also began posting on the website. We update with important news every other day. There are also embedded graphics in the website that are constantly updated with the latest statistics on COVID. This will continue until the conclusion of our civic engagement project. We are advertising the website to friends and family as an important resource during these times.
Importantly, the next update will include statistics through google analytics about website visitors and how they interact with the presented data.

As the 2nd semester ended, we began posting the latest COVID news on our up and running website. The news is updated with 1 important article every other day. This is strategically designed so that views will get a good piece of information whilst not being overwhelmed with several news articles at once, which we found to be a problem as we surveyed friends and family. The website also includes several embedded graphs and charts for constantly updated statistics of the pandemic. We advertised our website to friends and family that this website is a great place to get news and detail about the world around us.
Importantly, our next update will include statistics about how many viewers the site has and how it is interacted with. For now, here is the website link.

We’ve been advertising the website, which is updated daily, to friends and family. As proven by the picture, we have several users and views on the website, which is increasing at a steady rate. We hope to increase the user number to over 100 and over 1000 total views.

Marco and I made and managed a website for the COVID-19 pandemic and distribution of informative news.

As you can see with the attached picture, we had many people that were able to check in to our website and update themselves with good, on-time news about the COVID-19 pandemic. We chose unbiased reporting news sources and articles that truly informed people on the world around them.

This project had the potential to impact where people get their news. Often times, when we are thrown so many news sources every single day, it can get difficult to keep track of what is truly happening. Our project had strategic methods to combat this news-overstimulation.

My experience with the Civic Engagement Project was truly an eye opening experience. It gave me lots of new experience with networking in order to spread my website to many people and get all the shared experiences on the website. This was probably the hardest, yet most learned experience, to take peoples opinions and change my goal to best fit the needs of my users.
