The main goal for this project is to have students work alongside one another to assist in software development for a healthcare project where we'll be enabling students to get easier connected to therapists and mental health professionals. The main goals for this project will be to assist in development of our backend. This process will involve the student reading through our technical documentation and working closely with the team to assist in deployment of key backend features. This will primarily include building REST APIs, databases and performance management for our healthcare software.

At the end of the project, students will have the chance to participate in the first launch of the product and watch their specially created features get deployed. For this project in particular, students will be focused on development of production environments, infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. Beyond this, students will work closely with the team to create key features.

Students will be involved in development of a software product that uses a Node.js stack which involves React, Express, and other relevant technologies. In this project, students will be involved in making Express REST APIs, and creating key features for other parts of the backend.

Learners will receive technical mentorship from the lead engineers as well as project managers who will assist in guiding through the entire software development process. Learners will also be able to work with team members in collaborative settings and peer programming sessions to assist in development of the project.
