Inspiration Using Workday and working on campus, it is not easy to drop and take up shifts so we wanted to solve this problem
What it does: We were not able to get as far as we had hoped, but we were able to get the server running and a calendar set. It does not have any other functions than a homepage and a 1-week calendar
How we built it: Using Django python language, we used a mixture of Python and HTML to build this website
Challenges we ran into were having no knowledge of how Django works and how raspberry pi's work as servers; we learned everything online by ourselves. This was less than ideal because we ended up spending most of our time learning how to code this type of library instead of working on the actual project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of are that we were able to get the webserver up and running. This was a big accomplishment to how web servers run and we are happy that it worked. We also learned a lot about how to use Django.
What we learned was it takes a lot of time to build something like this and we thought it would be able to be doable in the time alotted. Learning the new style was a big stepping stone and using raspberry pi was also very fun.
What's next for Web Server if we were to go on with this project, we would want to develop it more to be what we envisioned it to be. Making it more functional and pleasing to the eyes would be something that would be a big priority.
