Inspiration
We wanted to find ways to become more involved with our campus communities and connect with our peers.
What it does
This web application will organize the events of registered organizations and clubs in both time and space: event schedule and location. Other users will have the opportunity to look at events in their desired areas with their desired filters and interests, save events that they are anticipating, and register for events with those organizations.
How we built it
We largely used MapBox in order to configure our event map and markers with geoJSON files to keep track of the data.
Challenges we ran into
We encountered issues in finding ways to automate the data transfer between the web application, the geoJSON files, MapBox map, right back to the web application.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to configure the map and add data points representing STEM events in the campuses of Boston University and Northeastern University.
What we learned
We learned some ways to navigate data transfers within web development.
What's next for GeoSocial Calendar
We plan to fully implement the web application with a user interface, interactive map, and colored markers to represent events of different institutions and types.
