Opening Ceremony speech

What it does

Educates different types of people, people who understand other languages, and those who aren't able to read or hear. The poster talks and even has the ability to change languages based on the user's preferences.

How we built it

We started by researching our topic and collecting data/stats to add to our board. Then we began the Scratch component of the project and kept adding different functions to the code. Finally, we worked on the poster and added information and all the hardware components.

Challenges we ran into

Getting it to change languages, using the hardware, wifi issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using hardware, making it change languages

What we learned

This is our first time incorporating hardware in a hackathon project, so it was a new experience for both of us and learned how to change the language on Scratch. We also learned the different types of discrimination faced by millions of people worldwide.

What's Next for Discrimination in the Workforce

Add more languages, make it more accessible
