[9]Women's Agora

Inspiration

• The fact that many women don’t always hear the success stories from women in all fields of work

What it does

• Creates a platform for women to share their stories on success and to read stories of others successes and struggles -Allows women to communicate and build bonds with others of similar interests

How we built it

-Using python turtle, we were able to create a platform that lets people share their stories and read the stories of others. -Using things like while loops and if statements, we were able to make a working program that lets users read about others, post about themselves as well as comment on other people’s posts.

Challenges we ran into

-We were all familiar/strong in different languages and ended up using python which we all knew at least a little of -When coding for stories inputted by the user that were longer, it would print out as one long line which took us a little bit to fix, but we ended up succeeding -We also had trouble printing out multiple stories because in our for loop we had set coordinates which caused the stories to end up printing on top of each other, we realized we had to incorporate our variable from the for loop, ‘i’, and it worked as planned.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-The fact that program is near perfectly functional and smoothly designed

What we learned

-We learned how to use the turtle import in python along with debugging and problem solving when our code didn’t work as planned.

What's next for Women's Agora

-Our next step would be to facilitate the use of the platform by adding more features, and promoting the platform so that more people can access it. Adding a likes feature and maybe a messaging platform.
