partyfinder

Inspiration

As students at Swarthmore College, we find it hard on the weekends to find places the whole community can come together. Constantly texting our friends asking what their plans are or where the party is at is quite tiresome. We wanted to find a way to have a platform that you can submit an event or find an event so all the information is in one place. This can help with planning your weekends better and put your worries at ease.

What it does

When you open the app you submit your school code so they know you are a member of that community. Then it will ask if you want to register an event or find an event.

How we built it

We built it with the help of the App Lab at code.org. we utilized the event functions and basic variables.

Challenges we ran into

Getting started was the hard part. Both Austin and I have never participated in a hackathon or made an App before so learning was hard at first.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of making it this far and seeing our code come out in a mobile format. That was pretty cool to see.

What we learned

we learned a new language - Javascript!

What's next for partyfinder

We hope to expand this app using graphics so that a map of your school campus will show up and you can simply just click on a building to see what events are being held in that location. Eventually we will be able to ask for the userID and hold that information for that person and making registering an event easier.
