WhatCanI.Do, is a mobile web app that allows non-profit organizations to quickly and easily set up a custom-branded, mobile-optimized donation site. We are utilizing the “Lean” methodology throughout the development process for WhatCanI.Do, and taking a crowdsourced approach to gathering data about what features to include in the app.
To coincide with the beta launch, we will be doing a Live Build at NTC! The Live Build involves asking nonprofit representatives to try out the WhatCanI.Do user experience and provide their feedback, including requests for additional features. We’re taking a crowdsourced approach to developing the next phase of WhatCanI.Do, and the Live Build is a key step in this process!
The Live Build will take place throughout the conference and at booth #61 at the Science Fair. We hope to see you there!
