Course Projects
Assignments in this class centered around early analysis and design work for Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB). This work ultimately laid the foundation for the Capstone. Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB), a member of Feeding America, serves Alameda County through its partner network of 300+ agencies, pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other food distributions. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, ACCFB requested assistance to improve their existing in-person orientation training for delivery in a virtual setting.
