Inspiration:
Students: Students often have irregular schedules and need tutoring "on the go". NerdHerd provides tutoring for students without any of the hassle of planning a meeting, and lets students find tutors in their area almost instantly.
We were inspired by this because we're students ourselves, and sometimes, when we get stuck on problems, you really need a disposable tutor to solve them.
What it does
Helps students find tutors in the area teaching at that moment. Helps tutors get students.
How I built it
Used Elastic search, HTML, CSS, Google Maps API and JQuery
Challenges I ran into
Connecting all of the components together to make the finished product.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It looks okay.
What I learned
Learned how to use Google Maps API, how to use elastic search, etc. We came into this knowing basically only python.
What's next for Nerd Herd
Setting up an email server for tutors and students to get email notifications. Ratings for tutors/improved profile pages for tutors.
