How we built it

The bot was created using Discord.py.

Challenges we ran into

None of us knew how to build a Discord bot, so we spent a lot of time reading documentation and watching YouTube tutorials. We also had trouble deciding what we wanted the bot to do, but once we decided to follow the themes "general productivity" and "inclusiveness", we started having some good ideas.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we learned how to build a Discord bot on the fly,Our bot facilitates the creation of an inclusive community by letting students announce their pronouns if they wish.

What we learned

We learned how to build a Discord bot, and gained better appreciation and understanding of what bots can do.

What's next for UTD Discord Productivity Bot

The next step for the bot would be for it to be fully integrated to eLearning, so that the bot can alert students once professors and TA's add assignments and test dates.
