Our team during the research trip in South Africa
The Sendinel development team consist of the seven people you can see on the picture above. We are 7 Bachelor students at the Hasso Plattner Institute.
The Institute is associated with the University of Potsdam and was founded by Hasso Plattner, who is also one of the founders of SAP. The course of studies is called IT-Systems Engineering, which is very similar to Computer Science, but focuses more on practical experiences and engineering. This is also why a crucial part of the graduation process is the so-called bachelor project.
A bachelor project lasts about a 9 months and is conducted by a group of students, who work on it half-time in the beginning and full-time in the last months. The objective of the project is to find and develop a solution for problems in the real world. We have started developing Sendinel in September 2009 and will finish the project in July 2010, when we will graduate as Bachelors of Science as well.
Through the project we had the opportunity to learn how to organize and execute a software project. We gained insight in official communication flows and learned more about the South African health system. We are happy with the outcome and hope that we will find somebody to continue the development.
