Inspiration
Many high schoolers cannot decide which major to choose because they are unsure if it really fits them. Even college students sometimes change their major after 1st or 2nd year because their expectations did not meet the reality.
What it does
The app matches college students and high school students by colleges, language and other preferences and gives them the opportunity to learn more about universities they consider applying to.
How I built it
I used python, imported telebot - API for telegram bots. For storing data I used sqlite.
Challenges I ran into
We had to learn more advanced stuff in API because we did not want to make sqlite queries for each time we need the data and the callback data passed from the button or command usually represents a single string with character limit.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Manage to write an app, without any background knowledge of Telegram API in a short time, covering multiple cases of user interaction and different responses.
What I learned
Enlarged our knowledge about python libraries, learned telebot library
What's next for CollegeTalk
Develop it for other messengers and social webs and create cross-platform CollegeTalk app.
