With the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically altering society and forcing shutdowns, we are relatively lucky in that our project was designed to be worked on remotely, and has therefore been minimally impacted. Due to the nature of coding and our need to be able to work on our project from different computers, our entire project is available online, and we are well-accustomed to online collaboration. Because of this, the pandemic has not significantly impacted our schedule, resources, or projected outcome and we remain on track to finalize our project in the coming days weeks.
While the pandemic has not forced us to alter our project in any way, it has reinforced to us the importance of dedicating time during the early stages to ensure the project is correctly set up. While we spent a tremendous amount of time finding the correct developer environment and collaboration software during development, it was this time investment that allows to continue our project in light of the pandemic. Had we rushed through this process into development, we likely would have had to dramatically alter our project and potentially scale back. Though no one could have predicted this pandemic, we are grateful that the nature of our project and our early time investment allows us to proceed as planned.

AuthorThese blogs are written by the Fellows: Ben Berlin, Sam Bruce, and Robert Dubinski. We are a group of seniors at Severn School in Severna Park, MD, who are highly interested in programming and game design. After completing AP Computer Science A, we wanted to delve deeper into the world of computer science and we are very fortunate to have been granted this opportunity by the Van Eney Severn Fellows Program.
