Resource Kiosk

Description

The resource kiosk is a standalone device accessible to all members of its community. It allows people to view events and resources in their area. Charities, organizations, and groups can add resources to the kiosk, which would be found in underserved areas. This program is intended as a prototype for the software that would display the information in the kiosk.
