Prior to this project, there was no platform displaying Japanese cultural events on and off campus for the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) community. In this project, we developed a web platform for WPI students to easily access the event information for Japanese cultural events. With the help from WPI’s Japanese Culture Club (JCC) and the maintenance manual we created, the platform will be kept up to date in order to provide thorough and accurate information about Japanese events around WPI. During the project, we conducted data collection, semi-structured interviews, surveys, and pilot studies to collect the information and feedback on Japan @ WPI, the website we built. Japan @ WPI is a viable solution to make searching for Japanese events convenient for the WPI community.
