Rural Design Collective Alumni

Steven McKenzie (2009) – Steven participated in the 2009 Rural Design Collective as a first-year mentee with an emphasis on programming. During his menteeship, he began work on his own open source software program entitled “Ogham’s Prayer”, a program coded in Python and designed to download public domain books from a variety of sources. He also worked with APIs and search interfaces to collect metadata for our interface for public domain books for kids. His code was integrated into the final production release of genCollectionInterface (gCI).

Nichole Richard (2008) – Nichole Richard participated in the RDC program in 2008, and was project manager and lead designer for the North Curry Community Radio website. She designed, produced and managed the development of the site working on location and remotely with her client and the design crew. As part of this, she learned to use a broad variety of programs relating to the creation and deployment of websites, and learned how to use Web 2.0 technologies to build a streaming media web site. She transferred this knowledge by creating several useful tutorials to facilitate the transition of the site, so her client can effectively manage her creation and train others to maintain it. She also helped coordinate the press rollout, working with the local media and designing supporting print collateral for the marketing campaign.
