Primary Project Task:

Our group is tasked with finding, working with, and planning a project for a local business or organization that needs a new IT system.

We have decided to work with SWAB UGA, a local nonprofit on campus on a software to manage participants across our Event Day. We are calling it our Event Day Management System (EDMS)

This website will grow and develop as we further explore, define, and work on our group project with SWAB
