Inspiration
Drawing from our own experiences as two international students, we saw the first hand the information asymmetry in college discovery and college selection and hence sought to do something about it.
What it does
It is a single unified platform for college discovery and application management. It prompts the user to enter the desired college name and displays information regarding the college, eg , the total number of students currently enrolled.
How we built it
We used ReactJs, NodeJs and Puppeteer in our tech stack, and pulled the data from https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/data/documentation/
Challenges we ran into
Processing the data appropriately to make it available in a human understandable format
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Ideation. Iteration. Learning a new framework and a new language in 18 hours.
What we learned
New language( Javascript), new frameworks that utilize JavaScript and how the web actually functions.
