Programmers of Tomorrow

Inspiration

At first we weren't sure where our interests aligned, but it was obvious that we were all curious about computer science. Since we all had different backgrounds and niches within the large field, we decided to make a basic website to spread awareness of different programming languages for beginner students.

What it does

Our website was developed to make knowledge of programming languages accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. We made a short intro to some of the most popular languages, and included some example code: to expand on the project for the future, we could also add example problems for students to practice.

How we built it

To make the code accessible to everyone, we made a Repl.it project using the basic HTML, CSS, and JS template that they provide. Then, we made a google doc where we can type out our research and example code. From there, we had to write out our HTML using what we wrote in the file, and then write up the CSS to make it more visually appealing.

Challenges we ran into

Perhaps our biggest challenge was recording the video for our project. We initially used Zoom (Asimah as the host), but only the audio file was downloaded, then Japroz suggested OBS, but we didn't have OBS, and then we tried to find a way on discord (it was not successful). Finally, I had to record it on my own using a chromebook, because there was no other way to include everyone.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we actually made a website because many of us didn't have confidence going into this hackathon. It was the first hackathon for at least two of us. It felt great seeing our creation develop and being able to maybe contribute to a world of students for the future.

What we learned

We learned how to make a more complex website than we've ever made before in class. This (for some of us) was our first time working as a team to collaborate and make ideas for a website.

What's next for Programmers of Tomorrow

Next, we envision our website as a learning tool accessible for students of all backgrounds. In the future, it could include courses on even more languages than there are now, and maybe through donations we could donate money to schools that need more funding for their technology departments.
