Today the partnership seeds planted between the Animal Institute and the Georgia Tech College of Computing began growing. Our Summer / Fall 2024 team of computer science capstone students, calling themselves the A-Team for 'Animal Team', kicked off the design and development of the Animal Institute's ambitious Animal College project.
The Animal Institute's Animal College will gradually grow into the ultimate digital destination for animal-related content and gamified education. Whether you're an elementary school student who wants to learn about opossums, a parent who is trying to identify a snake in the yard, a pet owner whose skittish dog has escaped during fireworks, or a good samaritan who needs to know what to do for an animal that has been hit by a car, the Animal Institute's Animal College will be the place to go.
To be initially released late this year, the Animal Institute's Animal College is being created as a responsive website with advanced navigation, search capabilities, and AI features integrated with ChatGPT. The Animal Institute's Animal College will likely extend to Android and iPhone apps next year. Correct reliable content will be sourced from and curated by experts in their respective fields, and be available to all as a free public service. This expert content will also support distribution of guidance from the Animal Institute's Wildlife Clinic and the Animal Institute's Lost Pet Recovery Team.
We are very excited for the future, and you should expect to hear more about the Animal Institute's Animal College in the months ahead!
The Animal Institute is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit animal protection organization. If you would like to support our charitable lifesaving work in this community, please consider making a tax-deductible donation, which will be used to buy the necessary medications, patient cages, veterinary supplies, animal care supplies, etc., that we need to save these precious lives.
