High-school students present QR-code trail project for Jesse James Park; board to invite class to present
Summary
Board members praised a botany-class student project that created a website and QR-code educational walk for Jesse James Park. The board discussed scheduling a short student presentation at an upcoming parks meeting and noted the project could be expanded with plaques and QR codes.
A board member told colleagues about a botany-class presentation to the Board of Aldermen and praised the students’ work building a website and QR-code educational walk for Jesse James Park. The students developed content, a website and QR codes that can be scanned along a trail to bring up informational pages about trees and park features.
Board members said the project impressed them and agreed to invite the students to present at a future parks board meeting (possible Feb. or March meeting). The board also discussed using plaques with QR codes throughout the park; the exact per-plaque cost was unclear in the meeting transcript and no firm procurement decision was made.
