Inspiration
Our project was inspired by the 1985 film, the Breakfast Club. For those unfamiliar with the film, a group of high school students who would not normally interact are brought together by a weekend detention. Despite their differences in social status, they find common ground through discussions about issues they are experiencing.
Drawing from the Breakfast Club, we developed a medium for communities to have conversations about local issues and events.
What it does
The Breakfast Club app is a website that enables members of a community to be a part of online discussions via chats. The chat rooms (clubs) connect people that wouldn't normally interact with one another. The clubs are issue and event-based. This allows members of a community to join a discussion to challenge community issues together by sharing personal experiences, information, propose solutions, and more.
How we built it
Starting with an open-source web-based chat room, we integrated chat room instances into a website. A CSS template from w3schools was used to format our website. We modified the baseline code to create a web-based experience that met the needs of our project.
Challenges we ran into
Learning Javascript and html to work with the base code that somebody else had written for the chat room.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning about website development.
What we learned
How to program a website.
