Hi Blog!
We’re officially halfway through the dialogue and I’m more than sad to say that there’s less time in Belgium in front of me than there is behind. It’s been such a fun experience and every day brings a new and exciting adventure.
With that being said, it’s been a busy 2 weeks. We’ve had a variety of experiences, from day trips to other cities, more talks with powerful people, and even pastry workshops!
It’s been a great time, and I keep reiterating how Belgium continues to exceed my expectations. Though I’m sad the end of the trip is approaching, I’m excited to keep having more of these fun experiences!
Project Contributions
In this phase of the project, I worked on altering the user stories to match the scope of the project more. Specifically, Ivy and I worked on brainstorming ideas for integrating a more software-based approach instead of purely data science. After generating accurate user stories, Ivy and I collaboratively authored our ER diagrams to depict the relationships. While Ivy dealt more with the local diagrams, we both worked on merging them into one cohesive global diagram. I also handled the participation and cardinality for the relationships. I worked with Ivy to complete SQL DDL as we worked through our global ER diagram. Ivy typed the code while I interpreted the ER diagram. I then worked on the wireframe that Ivy originally created, especially focusing on the refugee portion.
