Inspiration
I was inspired to create this project when a relative of mine struggled to find which facilities provided which types of COVID-19 testing. Since almost none of the centers provide this information online, my relative was forced to contact each and every facility to check if they provided a specific type of test. With my program, users will be able to efficiently decide which facilities to go to depending on their specific needs.
What it does
Simply provide your zip code, and the COVID-19 Testing Location Finder will provide a list of centers where you can take a COVID-19 test, and whether each center provides Antigen or PCR Testing.
How I built it
I used the Eclipse IDE and MySQL database.
Challenges I ran into
My initial plan was to create a Java Server Page, but unfortunately ran out of time to efficiently create the web page.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
While creating this project, I learned how to create a database with MySQL and connect it to my Java code. I also further enhanced my knowledge of Java.
What I learned
I learned that anything is possible if you have a positive mindset, and strive to complete what you started.
What's next for COVID-19 Testing Location Finder
I hope to create the Java Server Page, and add more data so my program can be used in many communities.
