Inspiration
We were inspired by a man named Ben Wellington who took local NYC data and converted into maps to determine issues occurring in his city.
What it does
Use data to create a visual representation of graduation rates in Philadelphia
How I built it
We used JavaScript and Google Maps API to create the heat maps and HTML and CSS to code the website.
Challenges I ran into
- Converting the locally stored data into real time.
- Using the Google Map API to visualize our own data set
- Creating a gradient on the background of the website
- Creating the dropdown menu
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Everyone on the team was a beginner
- Everyone coded something
- Everyone worked with a new language
- Using Google's API service
- Understanding heat maps and its connection to representing data
What I learned
- Google Maps API
- HTML and CSS
- JavaScript
- Persistence and cooperation
What's next for FemmeHacks - Jasmine, Emily, Margaret, and Aditi
- Expanding the heat maps to encompass other data sets for other cities and to have as many applications as possible (ex: healthcare, crime)
- Converting the website into an app
- To lay over another data set
- Becoming more user friendly
- More visualization options (ex: filters)
