Currently the project was left off with the front end complete but with nowhere to store student information, or any means of searching/editing it. As of now we are working on migrating the project from .NET MVC to .NET Core because .NET MVC is no longer being updated, and documentation for it was not great. Hopefully with the new framework we are able to develop back-end functionalities for our project partner. The second semester team is ecstatic to pickup what was left unfinished.

Our project is continuing for the third semester under the continued guidance of Connor Kirkpatrick and a new technical mentor, Ross Martin! You can meet the 3 freshmen under the Meet the Team page. We hit the ground running with some new design ideas and started prototyping in CAD. The legs have been removed in favor of vacuum cups, to fit more tables. We have an upcoming site visit this week! Check back to see how it went next week.
We discussed our progress, such as a fully-functional UI, a working and connected database, our development design and next steps such as adding back-end functionality. Our project partner and the judges were impressed!

Our poster presentation!
You can access and modify the DB from the MVC framework, and print data from DB onto console, ensuring successful connection and data flow.
Our database has been successfully connected to our ASP.NET MVC framework, ensuring proper data flow. Now, all we have to do is start writing the back-end functionality!
The actual SQL Server Database
After a lot of obstacles, we dumped MySQL and decided that Microsoft SQL server would be our optimum choice for this project and for the technologies involved. After a successful migration and re-implementation, we are now ready to handle all the data for the web application!
All the pages, coded in HTML and CSS, are connected to each other and are bug-free!
Here is the basic layout for our Database setup! We are using MySQL.

For the end of the semester we have undergone many preparations for our final presentation and setting up the future teams for success. We have purchased materials for a prototype and calculated the dimensions for this prototype. We also ran the wood through a test with the laser cutter at the SPN workshop. The test proved successful and now we can just cut our materials using the drawing file we created in CREO.
