Fruit Stand App Project
Jarrett Stein, Student Engagement Coordinator at the Netter Center Students from the University of Pennsylvania – CIS350: Software Design and Engineering – Susan Hirai, the project manager – The Programmers: Two teams of four undergraduates (sophomores to seniors) from Engineering, the College, and Wharton Who Are We?
A Mutually Beneficial Project The Netter Center gets a functional app made specifically for the EAT.RIGHT.NOW program’s after-school fruit stands. The students gain experience with building apps for Android using good software design principles.
The App Built for Android (in Java) Records information during the fruit stand: – Enter stand info. and inventory at the beginning – Track customer, product, and price information from each sale – Walk through basic calculations and check for errors – Send all data to an online database
Progress Currently, the app allows the user to input information on volunteers, the weather, inventory, and sales made. Next, we will create an educational walk- through of the relevant math equations. Soon, we will make it possible to send all collected data to a database for future usage.
