WizardMaker

Project Lead: Paul Tynan

Project Contact: [email protected]

The purpose of this system is to make it much easier to create high quality, computer-assisted, step-by-step instructions (commonly called wizards). We have some preliminary evidence that sustainability groups and other non-profits would benefit from such a tool. It is quite possible that we will not come up with a design that allows most content experts, relatively unskilled with computers, to easily create a wizard. So before we code, we will investigate proposed designs and try to determine the feasibility of the project.

National Day of Civic Hacking 2016

Project Lead: Inara Makhmudova

Project Contact: meetup.com

Code for Tucson gathered on the University of Arizona campus on June 4, 2016 to take part in the National Day of Civic Hacking 2016, a special event coordinated through Code for America, to work on community-centered projects.

During the event we brainstormed and collaborated on projects relating to food scarcity, language and job training resources in Spanish, and the preservation of Tucson’s birthplace.
