Inspiration - Daniel had this idea to help Millennials be more engaged with the arts. Through his research for a class, he as learned that the arts can play an important role in revitalizing a community. So, he especially wanted to identify communities where increased participation could have a positive economic effect.
How it works - We developed an interactive map where a user can enter a zip code or address and a map will pop up with all kinds of arts events and activities in the area. Arts organizations can also use the database to add their own events and activities. Eventually, we would like to make it interactive so the user can upload photos and comments of other arts activities along the way - using local knowledge to build a database of otherwise unadvertised arts activities.
Challenges I ran into - Daniel originally wanted to cover the Northeast Corridor, but we decided to focus on the Baltimore area. Limited technology knowledge on our team - especially me! Also limited time to fully develop it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of - Working collaboratively to share our skills in a constructive way.
What I learned - Cool arts events and venues in the area; how to use Google Drawing,
