Younity

Inspiration

We have been plagued by indecisiveness, which has proven to be a problem in careers class, when we're apparently supposed to know what we want to do...as 15 year olds.

What it does

Our program looks into the liked videos of the user and matches it to a list of all Ontario Universities / volunteering programs in Toronto. It then spits out the name of the program, the rationale, as well as relevant details.

How we built it

We used a youtube api and oath credentials and connected these credentials to the youtube cloud. This gave us a playlist ID, and we fetched the youtube liked videos. We then fed these videos into a groq api in order to match it with universities. We coded this all in python.

Challenges we ran into

Unfortunately we were unable to connect python to a website because it is a backend language and we didn't have any experience with html or pyscript

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For every time our code actually worked, our code didn't work about 100 times, so every time that the output actually worked, we rejoiced.

What we learned

This was all of our first hackathon, so we really learned a lot about delegating tasks, as well as the capabilities of our favoured programming language, python.

What's next for Younity

Next up, we hope to integrate our python script into a website. In addition, we'd like to make our own neural network to provide more accurate recommendations, expand the data we use from youtube to include all recently watched, and expand our list of universities/volunteer programs.
