Makerere Computer Science website
An Open UG Labs project bringing together undergraduate students to maintain and improve the Department of Computer Science website.
Duration
One full academic year
Team
Undergraduate, multidisciplinary
Stack
CodeIgniter and PHP
About the project
A useful, dependable departmental platform.
The website serves students, staff, researchers, prospective applicants, and the wider university community. The team will keep its information current, improve the experience, and support its long-term reliability.
The current platform uses CodeIgniter and PHP. Experience with those technologies is helpful for engineering contributors, but it is not required to apply. The project includes several roles, and students can learn the stack while contributing in their strongest area.
