Learning Journey

Learning Journey

During this project, our team developed important skills in collaboration, organization, and problem-solving. We learned how to plan tasks, divide responsibilities, and work together to build a functional application. One of our main challenges was choosing the best development platform, as we initially considered different options and felt uncertain about which one to use. We also faced difficulties with programming and time management. To overcome these challenges, we communicated constantly, supported each other, and focused on creating a simple and effective solution, improving both our technical and teamwork skills.

Information Legitimacy Description

To ensure the reliability of the information used in our project, we conducted research using trusted and official sources, such as public health websites and educational platforms. We focused on collecting accurate and relevant data related to healthcare services, including general information about access to health centers. Additionally, our team reviewed all the information together before including it in the application, verifying clarity, consistency, and usefulness. This collaborative review process helped ensure that the information provided is reliable and appropriate for users.
