== Projects ==

In the Fall 2019 semester, the club worked on the following projects:

=== CRM Tool ===

The non-profit we worked with (Move Up) expressed their desire to expand to 500+ clients and also to expand outside of the Bay Area. To help them achieve this goal, we worked on a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool that would allow them to keep all of their client information in one unified application.

=== SMS Signup Tool ===

Related to the CRM tool project, this project would help Move Up reach more new clients by allowing them to sign up for Move Up's services by texting a dedicated phone number with their basic information.

== Events ==

Broadly speaking, the club hosts ~~Hack Nights~~ and technical workshops.
