Overview

Polario is a revolutionary platform designed to break down the walls of polarization in America by transforming the way we consume media. In a time where the majority of our news may come from unreliable sources that don’t fully show the whole argument, like TikTok, our website aims to provide a balanced and comprehensive understanding of current events by presenting both sides of every argument.

At Polario, we believe in fostering a culture of informed and open-minded dialogue. By adding comment sections to each topic and article posted, our innovative approach to media ensures that users gain insights from diverse perspectives, encouraging a deeper understanding of complex issues. Whether you lean left, or right, or prefer to stay in the center, our platform is your gateway to a more nuanced and inclusive news experience.

What Inspired Us

With the upcoming presidential election, increasing riots and protests, and more people straying away from seeing a middle ground, polarization has become more apparent than ever before in America. After learning about history in school, from AP World to AP Gov, it's clear to us that America needs to unify once again, which is why we created Polario.

What We Learned and Challenges We've Faced

Throughout this project, we learned a lot about both politics and technology. Making the Figma design was quite challenging, as we wanted to make the website aesthetically pleasing while also making it accessible from a user perspective.

How We Built Our Project

We built Polario using Figma, to highlight the main idea of the website and the features it contains. By using Figma, we were able to fully represent the vision we have for Polario, without being restrained by any lack of programming skills we might have.

What's Next for Polario?

We hope to continue exploring the possibilities for Polario, eventually publishing a fully functional website and promoting people across America to use it with the goal of unifying America's political atmosphere. This year we plan on collaborating with others to program Polario into a website using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, as well as integrating AI components.
