The project I decided to work on, is called “Cosmic Escapes”. Cosmic Escapes is a fictional website that allows you to travel to different planets, as well as different galaxies and explore and enjoy the experience. Not only does it offer transportation to those planets, but it has pre-built luxury hotels, living spaces and amenities. It also has an option to calculate the total cost for your stay. Working on this project taught me a lot about implementing good looking designs and CSS, as well as using Javascript to give the user a smooth experience without any errors or issues.

Creating a Website for an Imaginary Business
In Fall 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in a class project for MIS 2402, in which I would create a website for an imaginary business. As someone who enjoys bullet journaling and incorporates it into my daily life, I decided to create a small stationery shop, called V’s Stationery Store, in which I had products such as stickers, washi tape, and pens available for purchase. Equipped with the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge I learned during my duration in MIS 2402, I was able to apply it towards creating my website and saw improvement in my understanding of the coding languages. I was able to learn more about how CSS impacted the style of my website, as well as how it works with HTML and JavaScript, especially when CSS was not as used in my course compared to HTML and JavaScript. As a result, I was able to broaden my knowledge on different coding languages while also having an enjoyable time as I created my website.
Website Design Project
https://misdemo.temple.edu/tup44555p/ProPointsProject/
The goal of this project was to learn and practice designing an interactive webpage using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, from start to finish. It was also to learn about the research and design process, starting with an idea and going through the design steps to a finished product, in this case a website. The results, as reviewed by my professor, are satisfactory, and the finished site is available to review at the link above. I learned several things throughout this process; on a surface level, I achieved the learning goals set up at the beginning of the project, but on a deeper level, I learned several things very deeply through this project. I learned CSS almost entirely throughout this project, including the syntax, what each element does, how to implement it, etc. I also learned how HTML and Javascript interact, and I now have a much more intuitive understanding of how javascript functions can be called by and output to HTML elements through things such as click event handlers and such.

MIS2402 PRO Point Project – Fall 2023
In the MIS2402 course we have learned javascript, jQuery, CSS and HTML. This project allowed me to display my understanding of all those skills while using a web API. The data set I accessed was about daily traffic counts on various streets in Chicago, Illinois. I first created a web page that displayed a paragraph about a hypothesis that would be useful to test which would use the data I picked and a button. After clicking the button the code iterates through all the streets where traffic was counted and averages the daily traffic count. It also finds the street with the highest traffic counted and displays both answers in a sentence.

AWS Academy Cloud Foundations Course
AWS_Academy_Graduate___AWS_Academy_Cloud_Foundations_Badge20240430-9-jet07h
Completing the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations Course alongside my Cloud Architecture class, MIS 3406 helped me develop and sharpen my technical skills and deepened my understanding of Cloud Architecture. Throughout this course, the most interesting things I learned to do were create and run Lambda functions in JavaScript, make API calls, and distribute HTML files through CloudFront. With this, I created interactive games and useful webpages that seamlessly integrated data from databases in the cloud. I can see how these skills will help me in my future internship and job in Information Technology, and I am eager to continue to learn more!
MIS2402 PRO Point Project
For my MIS 2402 Pro Point Project, I opted to create an HTML webpage incorporating JavaScript to retrieve and analyze a JSON dataset sourced from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset. The chosen dataset, titled “CDC Data – U.S. State Life Expectancy by Sex, 2020,” was processed using an Ajax call to compute three key statistics. These included the average life expectancy for both males and females across all U.S. states, as well as identifying the minimum and maximum life expectancies for both genders along with the corresponding states. This project not only showcased my proficiency in web development but also demonstrated the practical application of data analysis techniques within a real-world context.
Senior’s award-winning research makes education more accessible for students with disabilities
Senior Allyson Yu took a winding path to the MIS Department, as her interests evolved during the pandemic. Yu started out at Temple with a dual major in biology and visual studies in 2019, but she switched to MIS junior year.
Fortunately, all of these disciplines came together to inform Yu’s current work, WebORA, a website that helps organic chemistry students learn by interacting with 3D molecular reactions. Yu presented the project at the peer-reviewed ACM SIGACCESS for Accessibility and Computers conference in October and won first place in the Undergradate Student Research Competition.
The inspiration for the project came from a certificate course Yu took that had a small section about web accessibility. “It really interested me, because I’m very passionate about design thinking and coming up with solutions to help people in their everyday lives,” says Yu.
“Students with disabilities are underrepresented in the STEM fields in higher education. I wanted to create a project that would hopefully bring more awareness to this issue,” she says.
Yu drew from various parts of her studies to inform her work. As a biology major, Yu had worked with Steven Fleming, an organic chemistry professor, to help develop a 3D molecular application.
She also pulled from her MIS courses on user experience and web development. In particular, Yu credits her UX professor Munir Mandviwalla for giving her a framework for usability testing.
Yu’s JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills also enabled her to help the WebORA developer with implementing the accessibility features.
But Yu’s favorite part of the project was her interviews with organic chemistry students as they demoed the prototype she created. “Hearing stories of students in their learning journeys was really eye opening,” says Yu. “Bringing awareness is a big thing—making students feel seen and removing barriers in the curriculum.”
Yu was thrilled when she heard her project was accepted and that she would have the opportunity to talk about it more. “It felt really unreal. And I’m excited,” says Yu.
To support her project, Yu received the Creative Arts Research and Scholarship (CARAS) grant from Temple University.
“Something I’ve learned from this project is that Temple has a lot of resources,” says Yu. “I’m thankful that I go to a school where if a student wants to do something, they’ll have professors who will do their very best to support you.”
MIS2402 Semester – Long Project
- The goal of this project was to create a web based chart using different APIs\
URL for the project itself:https://misdemo.temple.edu/tun39122/Semester_Long_Project/
URL for the GitHub repository:https://github.com/tun39122/Semester_Project
There was a couple of things that I’ve learned through this project. First of all, the need to use outside APIs to accomplish my task was something that I never encountered before. The need to incorporate not only my JavaScript code, but other services that was not created by myself was challenging at first, but through my studies in class, the task became much easier. This was also my first time handling JSON files completely by myself, the need to first understand the data and then apply it to create a desired chart is the key to succeeding in this project. I felt much more confident handling this type of data as well as creating charts accordingly.
Semester Long Web API Project: NYC OpenData Application
For my MIS2402 class, I had a project where I had to create a dynamic web-based chart of API data that was interesting to me. What resulted from my project was an application that created two dynamic web-based charts, one that was a pie chart, and the other was a line chart. This project helped me improve my use of the Javascript function .getJSON to get data from API data, but it also helped me learn how to turn data that is not immediately usable into data that will work with functions like .sort. I also learned how to use the ImageCharts API, which will probably be useful to me in the future as well.
