Inspiration
We wanted to give a chance for students to have a platform where they can feel accepted and find like minded individuals.
What it does
It provides resources for students to feel that they belong in the University community.
How we built it
We used the React framework with Node.js for backend and basic HTML/CSS/JSX
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge that we ran into was the chatbot. There were multiple keywords that we needed to add so that there was a accurate response for the purpose of the chat bot.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were proud to be able finish this project because last year we barely made it to be able to present.
What we learned
We learned to be more proficient with Node.js and React and how to use UI components.
What's next for Student Sphere
We expect to expand on this project to outreach other University/College communities beyond UIC.
