Abstract
Description
This report was developed by capstone students from the IU School of Informatics, Computing, & Engineering (SICE) in collaboration with the City of Mitchell through the 2017–2018 Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The project focused on designing a mobile application prototype to support the proposed Gus Grissom Trail, which would connect Gus Grissom’s boyhood home, the Gus Grissom Monument, and the Gus Grissom Memorial in Spring Mill State Park. The application provides an interactive guided tour, trail marker mapping, and real-time visitor monitoring to enhance tourism and promote physical activity. The report includes design recommendations and outlines the potential impact of the application on community engagement and local economic development.
This project was completed as a collaboration between IU School of Informatics, Computing, & Engineering (SICE) students completing their capstone project and the City of Mitchell as part of the 2017–2018 Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities (IUSHC) initiative. IUSHC is a program within the IU Center for Rural Engagement (CRE). This report represents original student work and recommendations proposed by the IU School of Informatics, Computing, & Engineering (SICE) capstone students for the City of Mitchell. The contents of this report represent the views of the IU School of Informatics, Computing, & Engineering (SICE) capstone students and do not reflect those of IUSHC, CRE, Indiana University, Lawrence County, or the City of Mitchell.
