Meet Team Chinchilla

Team Chinchilla is the team behind Chinchilla Chat. This team was formed for Dr. Forrest Stonedahl's CSC 490: Senior Inquiry class, which is an (Android) app development class at Augustana College that fulfills a senior research requirement for computer science majors. So who are the students behind this project?

Angelica

Angelica (she/her) is a computer science major who is the secretary for Augustana's Gender and Sexuality Alliance. Given her active involvement in the LGBTQ+ community on campus and her computer science background, it should be no surprise that Angelica is interested in working on this project. Angelica hopes to make an app that will be a useful tool in forming a stronger LGBTQ+ community at Augustana College.

Vecna

Vecna (they/them) is a math and computer science double major. They aren't super active in GSA, but they do attend meetings about half of the time. As a privacy enthusiast, Vecna loves the idea of being able to hide their identity, and as a nonbinary/queer person, they know how hard it can be to find other students like them. They hope to add a lot of privacy features to Chinchilla Chat.

Special Thanks to Avery

Avery (they/them) was, unfortunately, unable to be an active part of this project this term, but they were the one who came up with the idea for the app originally.
