Inspiration A simple and easily deployable ride sharing webapp using Django Inspiration Students face one challenge daily and that is to get to their classes on time from their dorms or apartments and especially international students find it difficult to buy a car in the first few semesters and to be able to go from dorms and apartments to nearby places and around university on less cost is a challenge .Even though universities provide a few campus shuttles and few other options for transport, we believe that more could be done on this .Especially every university has some local students who have cars and usually they travel alone, so with a ride sharing web application it could be useful and more energy efficient and more environment friendly if carpooling was done. What it does Eagle ride sharing application provides a web application and each university could even make it authorized for only its students so that students could carpool , and without worrying about paying for other ride sharing apps like lyft and uber.Students also would feel more safer as they know that they would drive with other students of the university. It would also serve as a more efficient way of networking and making friends.The driver student could post that there is a ride available to a specified location and the other students could view it and could message them under a secure and safe environment and do efficient carpooling that could save their money and time and the driver could feel that he did a good service for the environment and as well as they could get a chance of making new friends and networking.Google maps could also be integrated to show the distances of the rides available.A common meeting point could be located in the university like the parking lot , where they could hop in onto the ride needed.

How we built it We built it using django,html,python, Challenges we ran into We wanted to provide secure and safe place for students for finding available rides and to carpool, and we thought we would provide SSO login of university,but in the process we found that we would need university authorization for that and it could be scaled up as an dditionl functionality in future. Accomplishments that we're proud of We re prouud of our idea and how it will provide safer ,greener,economical alternative for students to search for rides. What we learned WE learnt that proper planning is most crucial in c reating a web application and we learnt how to host a domain name What's next for Eagle Ride Sharing web application In the next stages we would like to integrate it with further api's like google maps for calculating distance, we would like to improve the selection and sorting and posting of rides .
