BU Passport

Spark! and The BU Arts Initiative have been developing an app that tracks and promotes student engagement in arts events around campus. The app currently has 4 main features: • Events Page: The user can see upcoming art- related events. • Calendar: The user can view the entire calendar that uses an API to fetch data from CFA’s calendar • Leaderboard: Through a points system, the user can compare their engagement with the arts community with other users • Profile: The user can utilize their profile to track progress and events. BU Arts admin can also utilize this data as key metrics in assessing success of the application. By tracking utilizing either a photo upload or by GPS tracking, the Arts Initiative would provide prizes to winners determined by the backend. The app should also provide student demographic information (school, year, program, BU ID) for the annual BU Arts Initiative Report.
