How I built it: We used Android Studio to build our app. It integrates XML and Java!

Challenges I ran into: We had very funny challenges! We couldn’t think of a good color scheme that clashes with other colors. We settled on teal because it was an easy color on the eyes and aesthetic. Also, we didn’t quite know how to create a map and a 2 week isolation calculator, so we had to learn at 3 AM! We finally got it to work and it looks amazing and the date is formatted in an international way: DAY/MONTH/YEAR

Accomplishments we are proud of: We are so proud of our group for spending hours on this project and learning so much about how to code. We’re also proud of how far our app has come and how useful it can be to those who want to learn more about how to stay healthy during the pandemic. In addition we are very proud of how we were able to implement google maps into our app so that we could locate local testing sites nearby.

What I learned: We learned how much patience is required to make an app, especially when time is limited. We also learned more about Android OS and how to get better with code, hoping that these refreshed skills will help us in the future.

What's next for COVID in your County: We need to make sure that our community is staying safe and doing their duty to help stop the spread of the pandemic. We also want to make sure that everyone is well educated on the matter of COVID-19 so that we can facilitate smart decisions.
