Math/Stat Dept. Blog

The Mathematics and Statistics department needs a blog that is to be incorporated into a site that better informs prospective and current majors as well as faculty in and outside Williams about the department. The blog will be department-wide and will allow faculty to have intellectual discussions with control capabilities for outside posts. The site will feature the activities of the department on campus as well as that of the faculty. Wordpress will be utilized for the blog.

Historical Aerial Photograph

Professors Hank Art and David Dethier would like us to design an application for a database of historical aerial photographs. The application will tell the user what photographs are available containing any point that they click on a base map. This project will also require a guide describing the process of georeferencing. This also needs to describe the process of adding a georeferenced photo to a database that will allow the photo to appear in the application.

Hopkins Observatory

The Hopkins Observatory needs a new webpage that describes its history through a series of pages each containing text and photos. The history will be divided into small sections. We will work closely with Jay Pasachoff's summer students in order to edit the text and take appropriate photos for each page. The webpage should also have a schedule of Planetarium shows that can be updated easily.

Cognitive Science

The Cognitive Science program needs a website that describes the concentration. This website should contain a list of events or highlights on the home page, a description of current faculty, the names of current and past concentrators, a listing of course offerings, and a detailed paragraph about the program. If there is time at the end of the project, a chatbot will be added to the site. This chatbot should allow Professor Zaki to easily input her own content.
