The money bail law originated in the 1800s in England, where most people relied on friends to pay an agreed-upon amount if they failed to show up in court.
Inspiration: Our inspiration for this project was to do a topic about current issues relating to racism and economics.
What it does: Informs and raises awareness about why the Money Bail Act should be banned
How we built it: Using HTML and CSS on Replit
Challenges we ran into: We tried to create a calculator function where we could calculate bail amounts based on bill fees (10%). The 3 of us have very little to no experience in coding, so we had to learn as we built this project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We're proud of creating our first website and being able to tell others about a sensitive topic that's not commonly discussed in society
What we learned :We learned some new coding skills and how to build a website from HTML and CSS.
What's next for Money Bail Act.: CA already banned the Money Bail Act. By building up this website, we hope to encourage other states and countries to ban the Money Bail Act as well.
