A University of Washington Information School capstone team is working directly with Human Services Department. Three graduate students are working on implementing the data architecture, user interface, and change management for users. The students are also being mentored by IAC members Amazon and Twitter. Amazon has offered free server space to serve as a proof of concept environment through Amazon Web Services. Anticipated complete date for this project is late May.
