Hello, I’m Ryan, an AI and Data Science student at the University of Northampton and president of the AI Society. This repository houses the ClayBrook Zoo Digital Project, designed to emulate a real business challenge for our academic course.

Our academic project focuses on designing technological solutions for ClayBrook Zoo. We aim to demonstrate how digital innovations could potentially transform the zoo.

• Digital Records Transformation: Developing a digital system to modernize and enhance the zoo's data management.
• Interactive Online Platform: Crafting a digital portal to connect with visitors, integrating educational content and user-friendly services.
• Kiosk Interface Design: Creating mockups for an interactive kiosk to improve visitor experience through on-demand information and services.

• Enhance Visitor Engagement: Crafting interfaces that captivate and engage zoo visitors of all ages.
• Simplify Operations: Proposing digital solutions that could streamline zoo operations and enable more informed decision-making.
• Educate and Conserve: Designing platforms with the goal of promoting conservation and biodiversity through education.

We adopted a structured approach to our project, conducting stakeholder interviews and competitor analysis, then moving to design mockups – all reflective of a typical digital strategy process.

• We designed mockups and requirements, basing them on real stakeholder needs.
• We presented these mockups to a mock client, simulating the feedback loop typical in software development.

Your feedback and participation are welcome as we reflect on our project and its alignment with real-world scenarios:

• Critique and Feedback: We're open to your thoughts on our academic project.
• Review of Our Testing: Look over our testing methodologies and offer your perspective.
• Creative Input: Share any innovative ideas you believe could benefit a project like ours.

This digital project serves as an academic exercise, showcasing how technology could be applied in a business context and providing a rich learning experience.
