After presenting to Camille, she was really excited about our ideas of providing a new transportation service in the form of a bus, and developing an app that places all of The Boys and Girls Club services in one place.
As well as excitement, she did provide hesitation at the cost and implementation difficultly of such proposed ideas. What we then proceeded to explain is that the goal is to prioritise. The bus purchase is something that can be first on the list, and they are relatively inexpensive to purchase second hand in the area.
We then explained that apps at first seem daunting because you think of the words ‘coding’ and ‘expensive’ but we explained that there is a lot of relatively inexpensive software that does the work for you. This is also something that can done more long term and doesn’t need to be started right away. Notre Dame students and volunteers can also be enlisted to help with identifying ways to do this.
Overall, we think our ideas and vision carried well, and we hope some, if not all, are implemented in the future!
Thank you, Camille!
