Projects

Book

BuzzBook

BuzzBook is a semi-new project team developing a one-stop course planning platform to aggregate various resources into an accessible form. This encompasses a course catalog, a requirements planner, visualized grading distributions, enrollment histories, a schedule optimizer, a ratings system, a course recommender, and an exam/syllabi database. Downstream goals include developing a mobile app and exploring expandability to other universities.

Critique

Course Critique

Since 1976, the SGA’s Course Critique has served tens of thousands of students as a vital asset in planning their semesters. Critique draws on data from the university to present concise and simple grade distribution information to students. We also provide data services to the greater Georgia Tech community. This fall, the Course Critique team will be finishing a tech migration, integrating CIOS data, implementing security features, and building analytics for the application.

Connect

JacketConnect

JacketConnect is a semi-new project to help connect underclassmen and transfer students to older students as a way to get help with many of the most common problems they’ll face like choosing classes, selecting threads/concentrations, or finding organizations on campus. It will facilitate this through advising style appointments that students will be able to register for.

Pages

JacketPages

In 2011, JacketPages was deployed as a platform for Georgia Tech students to track funding requests and provide feedback for resolutions made by the SGA. Members of the JacketPages development team are completing a tech migration of the platform while building feature requests from the SGA’s Joint Finance Committee and legislative branches. Due to current technical developments, this project is currently on hold until further notice.

Int

Internal Tools

The Internal Tools team builds applications to automate processes and support internal SGA operations. This includes developing Slack channel integrations, financial calculators for the SGA website, and a tracking application for SGA's PR Initiative, all past projects. In addition, the Internal Tools team is responsible for maintaining and updating SGA webpages.

Comms

Communications

The communications team implements technology-related policy advocated for by the SGA executive cabinet and strengthens the relationship between the IT Board and the Georgia Tech community. Members of the communications team also organize social events and prepare workshops for the IT Board to strengthen development skills and enrich the SGA experience.

Sec

Infrastructure and Security

Infrasec focuses on end-to-end testing of the IT Board’s products, while also maintaining the security of those out for production. We work to ensure that what is on the front end corresponds to the backend through programs such as cypress. Any experience level is welcome, though experience in python, java, javascript, or mysql are appreciated. Any experience with basic cross site scripting or sql injections are great, as to help with our ongoing pentesting projects.
