The International Medicine Clinic at Harborview Medical Center (Seattle, WA) is host to about 10,000 patients a year. Its most remarkable quality is that the vast majority of their patients speak a primary language other than English. Our project is aimed at facilitating the viral infection screening experience for patients, in their native language. We built an application with visual and auditory cues in seven different languages, in addition to creating educational materials in an accessible format for the patients. Our work will ensure equitable access to healthcare for patients that are typically aged 60-80 and have low technical dexterity.

Since the onset of the global pandemic, we have lost the flexibility to meet friends, families, and colleagues in person. Therefore, we incubated an innovative web application, a drop-in video chat social network, to foster spontaneous connections with your friends and a 2nd-degree network that supports up to 12 people in the same room. Our service will improve the sense of belonging and provide a new venue for people to meet and connect.

The security industry is rapidly developing and changing, creating a knowledge gap and skills shortage due to the challenging learning curve. Analysts and students struggle with the overwhelming amount of data that typical network analysis tools display, which leads to a time-consuming investigation process. The SecViz tool allows SecOps analysts to read and dynamically visualize packet logs, leading to faster identification, investigation, and mitigation of KPIs. In addition, the tool helps expedite the speed of identifying security gaps that may have been missed or taken a significant amount of time to come across.

The pandemic has caused us to start shifting towards a more remote workspace for students and industry workers. Software developers have the tools to be able to work in this condition, but the experience is not always great. Developers in teams have trouble working together on projects because the current tools available make it difficult. Most of the issues lie in the fact that code is not easily shareable and requires slightly tedious tasks to do so. That is why we have made SSCode—an online programming platform that allows developers to create programming scripts online and script synchronously with others.

While many people play video games, it can be difficult for some of them to play as games are often not very accessible to people with disabilities. Access is a project that compiles research and data on video game accessibility problems and proposes possible solutions for them. We explore the current solutions as well as our proposed solutions with code samples for future game developers. Within our research, we cover four major categories of accessibility: auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Imagine yourself suspended ten feet in the air, fingers losing grip, and bracing for your inevitable fall, all because you can’t tell the difference between two rocks. At rock climbing gyms, boulders are color-coded to represent the level of difficulty which is a disadvantage for colorblind individuals. Our team saw a need to help this user group participate in this sport with relative ease. Bold Colors is a free mobile web application that uses object recognition and color detection to help users autonomously see their routes before they scale the wall.

Students who choose to learn programming through non-traditional routes face more obstacles introduced by predominantly remote learning. The CodeBreakers (coding bootcamp) website promises that coaches will be available 24/7—a large and demanding commitment. By developing a LeetCode Chrome extension and Slackbot for Codebreakers students, the addition of these tools will assist in offloading some of that weight, streamlining teaching processes, and lessening pain points. We can track impact by analyzing differences in CodeBreakers’ graduates' success rates prior to and after implementing our solution, as well as the feedback from surveys completed by students, usage rates, and performance in mock interviews.

Community Credit Lab (CCL) partners with non-profits and other organizations to create and source custom loan programs for disadvantaged communities. However, the in-person training and onboarding process for partners can be time and resource-intensive, bottlenecking the number of communities CCL can help. Community Credit Lab Courses (CCL Courses) is a custom proprietary online training and onboarding platform for Community Credit Lab (CCL) partnerships. This platform enables CCL to generate and publish training course materials, which can then be consumed by prospective partners. In this way, CCL can flexibly deliver pertinent information to their partners using a centralized and persistent platform.

We set out to research how intermediate programming students could achieve a more intuitive understanding of computer science data structures so that they can make better design decisions when creating software and utilize these concepts in future work. Based on feedback from programming instructors and user testing, we determined that our product, destructure.io, is successful in breaking down learning barriers and cultivating strong mental models of common data structures. Our product will allow more students to feel confident in their programming skills and succeed in various technical roles.
