Bits of Good Showcases Spring Semester Non-Profit Projects at Demo Day
Throughout the spring semester, Georgia Tech civic organization, Bits of Good (BoG), worked side-by-side with nine different non-profits to aid them in building out specific web applications. To highlight their accomplishments, we hosted a Showcase with our student partner group to share their latest advancements in the web, app, and software development they created for the local organizations.
On the evening of Tuesday, April 12, over 100 people safely gathered at The Clubhouse to attend Bits of Good’s Demo Day, where students conducted live presentations of their client projects. From new projects like helping mothers facing adversity to revisiting previous BoG products to fix bugs and overcome any additional obstacles, the hard work was exemplified in their first in-person Demo Day event since 2019!
As community members walked in, we asked them what non-profit organizations they would like to see BoG partner with in the future. From local entities to national organizations, the responses were inspiring:
And while attendees enjoyed complimentary pizza, beverages, and conversations with other like-minded individuals, they also enjoyed hearing from students on the following projects:
