Hackathon Project for HackKU 2022

Our ultimate vision is to create a platform where users can look up a company's name and click a button to generate visual representation of the data that's accessible to anyone. We are passionate about the environment and wanted to use our skills to make positive change through digital tools.

Interactive website that serves as a template for receiving and displaying data. Buttons link to other pages and external links

Mapped out a list of what we wanted for our prototype based on what was attainable in 36 hours Divided up responsibilities between front-end and back-end sub-teams Researched tools and decided to use Django, HTML, CSS, Python Used GitHub as our central, shared repository Worked together in the engineering complex to talk through ideas and collaborate to solve our issues.

Issues installing Django Had to create multiple versions of the repository Issues with merge conflicts since there were four of us Communicating our expectations and ideas Timeline planning

Appealing UI design Effectively running the server Creating a static site Collaborating Challenging ourselves with a big project but also adjusting our expectations along the way Working from scratch as much as possible so we could better understand the inner-workings of our site

Fundamentals of web development Working as a team on a large project and how to divide up the workload Learned how to use GitHub, LiveServer extension for VS Code, integrate Django, HTML, Python, and CSS

We will have it interact with large volumes of data, have it automatically generate graphs on command for users. Use real companies' data and market to real users
