63 STUDENT PROJECTS WITH EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS 2019 InoaEdu: Tracking Non-Academic Student Information Authors: María Inés Campiglia, Brayan Hernández, Ignacio Piccininno, and Sebastián Queirolo Organization: InoaEdu InoaEdu, which stands for Non-Academic Student Information, is a startup that aims to improve and enhance student support in educational institutions. This includes social and emotional aspects, behavioral improvement, motivation and learning accommodations, bullying situations, and recognition. The idea is to track progress, helping all staff stay aligned and informed in supporting students on a daily basis. This initiative is currently active in 21 schools in Uruguay, and its goal is to grow and reach more schools worldwide. The project aimed to implement a new system that would overcome the shortcomings of the previous one, which did not allow for growth. The goal was for it to be scalable to support more schools and students, portable to accommodate multiple languages, easy to maintain so the client could work on the system, and to incorporate new features that would be useful for both the client and end users. During the project, the team conducted reviews, validations, and verifications, and relied on user testing. For project management, they used a traditional approach, and for task management during development, they applied Scrum practices. The result is a product that meets the client’s expectations, leading to its approval to replace the previous platform.

The project involved implementing a system capable of capturing monetary investments (subscriptions) from individuals for an issuance through payment methods, collection networks, banks, or stockbrokers. Furthermore, it allows different companies to publish offerings with the aim of raising funds under the supervision of a managing entity, which is responsible for the corresponding regulations and audit processes to ensure trust, security, and transparency. It also offers the ability to manage the various offerings and subscriptions in a simple, reliable manner without the need for manual processes. This platform optimizes the fundraising process while expanding the range of people who currently invest their money. The solution was built using Java under the Spring framework and React and React Native for the implementation of the visual interface and mobile app. Degree: Systems Engineering Advisor: Ignacio Valle, Engineer
