Inspiration
Back when we were in JC, we were pretty lost when it came to choosing a university course. Hence, we thought of creating a bot to help future batches of A level students find a suitable course for them!
What it does
The telegram bot aids A level students with their career planning. It does so in 3 ways. The first way is the most basic, it simply calculates the rank points of the grades of the student. Secondly, it can also take in a number of rank points and return the courses that can be taken by the student. Lastly, students can use the bot to take a job aptitude quiz which determines which job they are best suited for.
How we built it
Python and Telegram API
Challenges we ran into
Issues with deployment for 24/7 operation for the bot. Furthermore, we also had troubles determining what kind of questions to include in our quiz to determine the most suitable career path.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Managed to achieve full functionality of the bot that we set out to achieve
What we learned
Building a Telegram bot from scratch
