Inspiration

Club engagement at Sac State is difficult because of accessibility. Not all clubs participate in club rush and club details are not always updated on Sac State’s website. This leads to low club turnout, a lack of community and a loss in potential networking opportunities. Eons ago, following the stars led you to your home, your friends and your family. It's time we utilize the stars again in the 21st century.

What it doess

This is a web application that visualizes Sac State's student organizations as stars in a constellation.

How we built it

The product was built with React, Flask, D3.JS and Typescript

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we had was the constellation logic.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the UI we were able to make and how it was able to work in a short amount of time.

What we learned

We learned that having brainstorming sessions early really helped us out, so that Day 1 we were able to begin the hackathon

What's next for Constellation Connect

We want to expand the 2D visualization so that the application has a similar look and feel to the web application Stelarium.
