Abstract
The projects builds and deploys a Cooperative Cellular Network in South Puget Sound with the help of Tacoma-based organizations, along with a paired undergraduate class. The grant period also allowed us to explore teaching opportunities outside of the University, leading to the co-creation of the Black Brilliance Research Project’s “Digital Stewards” and “Youth Digital Stewards” programs. While some smaller elements remain to be done (such as the actual deployment of the new architecture onto production systems), we consider the grant period to be a great success and are excited to continue the work.
