Inspiration

  • It was hard to find information about COVID cases in universities. We wanted to have a place where all of that information could be aggregated.

What it does

  • It shows recent COVID cases throughout universities
  • It shows recent COVID cases generally throughout specific provinces
  • It has links to mental health institutions near each university

How we built it

  • We used CSS/HTML and the Bootstrap library for the website
  • We used Python library Beautiful Soup 4 to webscrape data
  • We used PHP and SQL for the backend

Challenges we ran into

  • It was a challenge to unify the data as it was different for each university

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We are proud to have fully completed the project in the specified amount of time
  • We implemented a graphic to supplement the data provided by the tables

What we learned

  • We learned a lot about development in general
  • We stepped out of our comfort zone in order to try new languages or development methods

What's next for COVID Overflow

  • Next we want to add more universities to our dashboard
  • We want to be able to compare data between universities
