Inspiration

Financial literacy amongst teeangers is one of the problems they most encounter when transitioning to adulthood. Interactivity and making these subjects into something engaging helps us reach our target audience and helps teens to get introduced to these concepts.

What it does

It’s a webapp with two components, the learning activities that helps teens learn financial concepts and the SARIMA-powered expense predictor that helps them manage their finances.

How we built it

We used Django to structure our webapp and to serve our templates and Scikit-learn to train our SARIMA expense predictor and stored our data in mongodb.

Challenges we ran into

This was the first time we had ever used django as a the skeleton of our project so we had problems adjusting to the new framework. This was also our first implementing a SARIMA( Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) that forecasted and predicted your balance based on the data that you provide so we also had to study the concept thoroughly. Wifi issues also came up, but we grew stronger for it and worked together to solve last minute issues!
