Project: Tree Planting in Kenya
Students: Ivy Khavai and Jackson Juma
Our task prompted us to investigate the role the Government of Kenya plays in relation to tree planting activities and initiatives. We looked into the history of tree planting in Kenya, the types of trees planted in Kenya as well as governmental support on tree planting initiatives that are currently implemented.
The skills we have mastered from our different courses such as: Information Architecture, Project Management Scrum, Visualization and Rule-Based Writing helped in ensuring that the vision we had for our project was fulfilled. They helped ensure that our work was well structured, so that our target audience can easily navigate and find information they are looking for. Scrum enabled us to stay on track and complete our work as scheduled.
Overall, we enjoyed putting this project together and we hope you enjoy it too.
