Inspiration

In this project, we were very inspired by the amount of data swiss authorities managed to collect over years. It is very pity that only a small share of it is used and not so many people are aware of open data collection. We created the "Swiss Quiz" to bring this data to people in a fun way and wake up their curiosity with many interesting facts about Switzerland.

What it does

Our app asks users quiz questions about business, education, politics, etc. Along with the right version, more details are shared and a link to the data source is included. So those who are interested in this topic in more detail could learn more from the original data.

How we built it

In each database, different variables were defined, and depending on the data structure few options of graph presentation were suggested. A combination of these variables was created to formulate questions. In this way, a database of questions was assembled, which was then used in the application along with graphs.

Challenges we ran into

In the earlier stage, it was quite time-consuming to work with different data structures, but later on, they were grouped depending on the variable, e.g. time series would have time variable and most of the datasets have also regional components.
