Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive national database to provide information about child abuse and child protection in the U.S. We compile information about child deaths and egregious incidents involving at-risk children in America. Kids At Risk Action (KARA) aims to centralize and streamline data collection to better understand and address the issues facing vulnerable children. The database will serve as a critical tool for policymakers, social workers, and researchers to identify patterns, allocate resources effectively, and implement preventive measures. The project will involve designing a user-friendly interface, ensuring data security and privacy, and creating a robust backend to handle large volumes of data. This initiative will provide learners with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of database management, data security, and user interface design in a real-world context.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

- A fully functional national database for tracking child deaths and egregious incidents.


- A user-friendly interface for data entry and retrieval.


- Comprehensive documentation detailing the database structure, data security measures, and user guidelines.


- A presentation summarizing the project, its objectives, and the final product.



The deliverables will ensure that the database is not only operational but also secure, easy to use, and well-documented for future users and administrators.
