Project Overview

Wash U Doing is a novel interactive website bringing Washington University students and student groups together. On-campus WUSTL groups will have the opportunity to create events on Wash U Doing, which students can find by easy filtering through their event needs. To promote such events, students can also live share photos and announcements in a forum.

  • Domain Name and Route 53 server (1 year ownership of the domain and data storage) = $13.14

This charge is largely based on a year's access to AWS and specific tools we access including Route 53 and the Elastic Compute Cloud. The charge breakdown includes:
