Schedule Builder

Inspiration

We are all busy college students, wouldn't it be great if someone were to tell me what I needed to do and when I needed to do those things rather than having to micromanage myself

What it does

Currently, Schedule Builder can add custom events to your Google Calendar

How I built it

Schedule builder was built in Python using the Google Calendar API

Challenges I ran into

Initially, schedule builder was going to be a chat bot that you could talk to and it would plan out your schedule for you. We ran into issues, however, when trying to set up a webhook to communicate between the chat bot and Google Calendar API.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We initially knew nothing about API's or webhooks, and we progressed to a moderate understanding of them and were able to successfully implement both, even if the webhook did not function properly

What I learned

Python, git, how to work with API's and webhooks

What's next for Schedule Builder

Because of our challenges, we were forced to create a proof of concept in the terminal instead, but if we had more time, we would have likely implemented the chat bot or a GUI interface and created algorithms to plan out a schedule for the user.
