Platform for Munich's Volunteers
03. November 2020.
The City of Munich is hoping to better support non-profit organizations, and to connect volunteers with them. So it assigned a team of students from the Department for Engineering and Management at Munich University of Applied Sciences to design a solution as part of a DTLab challenge. The challenge was a continuation of the "Capacity Finder" challenge, which ran in the previous semester. With the support of Amazon Web Services and the "Working Backwards" method, the students designed a web application for a platform that would enable organizations to publish their offers for volunteering and allow citizens to easily find them and collect bonus points with each engagement.
