Samurai Girls Career App

App Category- Activism/Empowerment (social justice, accessibility, current issue)

Userbase In order for people to use this app, we have to rely on word-of-mouth advertising and promotion to get people to know and use this app. The people targeted in the initial push for users would be city officials, communal leaders, and parents of young girls interested in furthering the education of their daughters. Having the app well known in city and rural communal centers would help push the expansion of a user base, and give more opportunity to us to address and meet the concerns of rural communities on education and to help young girls receive further education.

Category Selection:

Samurai Girls Career is a web-based that seeks to empower young female students in rural communities. It is targeted toward rural communities that have a significant population of young girls who are not able to seek further education at the same level as their male peers. This remains a problem around the world, specifically in rural, underdeveloped regions. This app project seeks to help change the perception that young girls should not be required to seek further education. That any success in such an effort, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. The app can help promise something to these young girls that may have not been possible under normal circumstances. It is an investment that seeks to give more opportunities to young girls who often have no choice in seeking further education and more career options. This app belongs to the category of activism and empowerment since it is designed to empower young girls and women to seek further education, gain careers, and maybe come back to their communities as experts in many fields such as medicine.

Short Description of Project

Samurai Girls Career app is a web-based application tailored to rural communities in helping them set up virtual education centers for young girls in order to improve their education. Virtual classrooms

How do you get the idea to build the project?

We got the idea for this application project by reading online news about how efforts in India have hit obstacles in bringing more education to young women in rural communities. While males are usually supported in their efforts to seek higher education, young women and girls in these communities are frequently not given the same opportunity and support in this endeavor. That in rural communities, limited finances have pushed these communities to only send their best men to urban centers for further education. As such, We sought to think about a potential solution or at least avenue for attaining more education for these girls and women. Thus, the idea of a simple application that can help rural communities set up virtual and onsite education centers tailored to these young girls

What is the purpose of the app

The purpose of this app is to assist rural communities in educating their young girls by allowing them to gain more knowledge and skills in a safe, virtual environment to catch up to their male peers. It seeks to create virtual classrooms for teachers and students under the watch of organizers to reach educational standards, and provide resources for these students for further education and additional career paths.

How is it beneficial to society?

Samurai Girls Career is beneficial to society as it seeks to help educate young female students in order for them to have better futures. More education and training for these bright students can help achieve careers, which brings about more benefits to these communities. Better educated women can help build stronger families, earn higher wages, reduce poverty, and generally improve the workings of local economies as a result of higher education.

Challenges ran into One big challenge we faced when developing this project is how to connect web portals for teachers, students, and organizers on the website. We had two minds about this particular issue. Should we keep these screens separate while coding these segments of the project or should I find a solution to join these portals together in a template to simplify the issue. Generally, the issue of coding a more complex app brings about more complications, no matter how a skill a programmer is with any programming language or project suite.

Another challenge We faced is when our code was not properly functionally in my initial prototype of this application. The amount of time and effort used in up double-checking of how my code could have broken apart led to me to redo the project another way. Sometimes you face big challenges such as this one that lead to people making hard decisions on passion projects.

Accomplishments that I am proud of?

The accomplishment we most proud of is able to code such a complicated web app such as this project. This application requires many systems to function properly, and as such can be quite an issue to keep tracking in coding and testing such functions. Especially since our initial attempt at making this application fell apart in the middle of the project. We felt We had to scramble more in the less time We had to finish this project.

What did I learn?

What we learned from the previous application projects is that proper planning, time schedule, double-checking work, and other such efforts must be at the forefront in mind when working on such a project. This is especially important when something unexpected happens, and you have to start nearly all over gain. This can be quite nerve-racking and can lead to despair. But, once you set yourself to start over again, you must cross the finish line even if you come in the last place.

Summary In summary, we can discuss the main points of this presentation of this project application. First, the purpose of the Samurai Girls Career app is to help young rural girls, who often lag behind their male peers in education, the opportunity to expand their students through virtual classrooms online. The features of this web app would help assist in reaching that goal. The app has a classroom portal and interface that allows teachers and students to have classes online. It also has listings of class, educational, and career resources tailored to these young female students. By improving the education of these young girls, rural communities, and the world at large will reap the benefits. The benefits include these girls receiving better education and skills to pursue better careers, earning higher wages, and better chances to help their local communities as experts in their fields of study. While this sounds like a great app, it is obviously not the only application that has a virtual classroom online portal.
