Inspiration
We were inspired by the statistic that black-sounding names were less likely to get an interview.
What it does
We created a Jobsite that mitigated bias and discrimination by allowing employers to censor the personal information of applicants.
How we built it
Python, Flask, HTML, CSS
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with writing a functioning back-end with just Python. We used text files as a database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We learned how to connect the front-end and the back-end of a web application.
What we learned
We learned how to create a fully-functioning web application using Python Flask.
What's next for Equal Opportunity
We hope to introduce the censoring aspect of Equal Opportunity to other fields such as college admissions and grading. We also hope to expand the features of our Jobsite to add communication between potential employers and applicants.
