Inspiration
I was inspired to create this after seeing how communities are often devastated by gun violence.
What it does
The project utilizes different conditionals and lists to formulate different statements that would dictate whether someone is allowed to purchase a gun or not and whether or not the gun should be in circulation.
How we built it
I built it utilizing Python and Github. This is a prototype, so the project is not as complex as it would be if I harbored a finished project.
Challenges we ran into
I ran into the challenges of meticulously inputting my code into Python, as well as importing the library into my code.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of being able to formulate a prototype for a database that could be used for universal background checks.
What we learned
I learned that a Hackathon is difficult, and that there are numerous ways to utilize technology in order to solve social issues.
What's next for HenHacks: Addressing Gun Violence Through Technology
Expanding the project to eventually include a real-life applicable working database.
