Our team name - Vibes
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from looking at the problem of why there is a low percentage of black community in the science and technology fields. The root of the problem is the motivation they get from the society as they are developing. We want to motivate them and show them that science is for everyone, regardless of age, color, gender, and other differences.
What it does
It gives young kids a platform to become a scientist by giving them a platform to build and share their scientific projects, which can be anything science related. It aims to boost the youth's confidence by plausing their work and featuring the active scientists on top of the leaderboards and the community providing them with constructive feedback.
How we built it
Built using Django web framework and SQLite. Our models are Scientist (the user), projects (that they build), comments (feedback from the community)
Challenges we ran into
Most of the team was inexperienced with django but they did their best to help with website design and ideas. The web developer was Pawanpreet Mundi
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built a good design and outlook of our idea. To see it becoming real is something we're proud of.
What we learned
We learned the different design problems when it comes to web applications and making them user friendly. We thought of issues such as hate comments that could be posted by the community.
What's next for Science Club
There is functionality to add projects that is left, adding comments (which is low-priority), editing profile page, and more. Then, we will look into deployment of our project and advertising it.
