Fix All the Internets!

This last week, we have taken a bit of a detour in Software Engineering. This semester, Berea college has been experiencing an almost crippling problem with it's internet connectivity. As a class that relies heavily on the usage of the internet, we took it upon ourselves to devise a way to make it better. I chose to work on a team to try to find some forms of alternate, internet free, activities for students on campus. We had many great ideas, and decided to reach out to the groups and individuals who could help us put our plans into action. Some of the ideas that we devised were: pottery workshops, coding workshops, ultimate frisbee workshops, and many others! We have been so focused on brainstorming these ideas, and figuring out who to talk to about them, that I seem to have forgotten to blog this last week... whoops! In our endeavour to fix the internet, my group has contacted groups like Student Life. Alas, the groups and individuals that we talked to liked our ideas, but said that they were too busy to get to them this semester. Until we find a (or a few) group(s) willing to help us with these multiple workshops, the internet will continue to be the Berea student's only distraction from their school work.
