How we built it

We built our program in javaScript, but we ultimately used python and flask to visualize the data.

Challenges we ran into

Making this project was rough because all of us are inexperienced and are not proficient in a diverse range of coding languages. Also, three of our team members got cut off from registration, making it more difficult to communicate and work proficiently in the first 3 hours of the event.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The ideas we came up with were solid, we learned a lot throughout the course of the event, and the fact that we didn't give up despite the many challenges that we faced.

What we learned

We learned MongoDB, how to make a basic google web extension, how to use APIs, coding languages, and how to use ai to efficiently develop full stack software.
