High-Level Project Summary
Our team had developed a website prototype which provides COVID-19 information to the users. It contains pages such as things to know about COVID-19, worldwide COVID-19 cases statistics, frequently asked questions, and not to mention, risk calculator.As mentioned in the title of the project, a risk calculator evaluates the risk the user getting infected by COVID-19 based on the options selected by the user in the survey form. A piece of advice is later given to the individuals according to their own risk levels.Due to the pandemic, the risk calculator is therefore important in order to spread the awareness and the risk of COVID-19.

Detailed Project Description
INTRODUCTION
Our team used a website platform designer, Wix, to develop a website prototype. The provided features are as follow: Things to Know, Risk Calculator, Worldwide COVID-19 Cases Statistics, FAQ and Contact Us. These are the features put together by the team which aims are to provide COVID-19 information as well as to increase the awareness of COVID-19.
THINGS TO KNOW
Things to Know section provides informative knowledge for instances, how COVID-19 spread, the ways to prevent getting infected by COVID-19 and the likely symptoms of infection. If perhaps the users require an online doctor consultation, our site has got it covered, users can book online consultation with our affiliated certified doctors.
RISK CALCULATOR
Risk Calculator section evaluate the risk of getting infected by COVID-19 based on score calculation method using the choice input by the users. Every choices have a different point of score. The higher the score, the higher the risk. Risk level will then be displayed after the calculation.
Furthermore, it will provide advice to user based on their risk level. For example, if a user has high risk of getting infected by COVID-19, it is recommended for the user to limit his/her contact with other people as much as possible and avoid all unnecessary travel.
However, as stated earlier, this website is only the prototype of what we wanted to achieve. The score calculation is not yet completed, we hope to apply a fully functioning score calculation once we have gain the necessary knowledge in the future.
WORLDWIDE COVID-19 CASES STATISTICS
Worldwide COVID-19 cases statistics section provide up-to-date worldwide COVID-19 information such as global cumulative cases and global cumulative death. Additionally, latest COVID-19 cases by country are also shown to allow the users to be aware of COVID-19 cases worldwide.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ section helps the users to resolve their doubt. Our team hope to collaborate with professional experts in medical field in order to clear up user's confusion and also provide a platform for the experts to publish their research outcome related to COVID-19.
CONTACT US
Contact Us section allows the users to give feedback or ask questions related to COVID-19 by contacting with our team using email and phone number. The feedback will help the team to improve our website in order to satisfy the users. In case of medical questions, our team will rely on the professional experts to provide their answers and such.
Space Agency Data
We have used the JHU covid-19 dashboard-center for systems science and engineering within the resources session provided by NASA. The resources inspired us on what can we display on our website such as worldwide COVID-19 cases statistics.
From the resources, we realized just how serious that COVID-19 globally is. Which is why we intended to include the features: things to know to let the user know how to protect themselves against COVID-19 as well as the FAQ to the user to understand more about COVID-19. Most importantly, risk calculator is also provided for the user to evaluate their risk of getting infected by COVID-19 to increase awareness of COVID-19 and its risks.
Hackathon Journey
As pandemic is currently still a problem, we understand the impact that COVID-19 had brought in our lives. It had restricted many activities that we normally do in our daily life. Due to COVID-19, many things have changed such as academic. Nowadays, we conduct daily classes through online sessions instead of going to school and have face-to-face classes. This is the reason why we chose this challenge. We intend to develop a system to let the users be more aware of COVID-19. In order to stop COVID-19 spreading, all of us should know how to prevent from getting infected by COVID-19. Throughout the phases of developing the website prototype, we faced many challenges because we did not have much experiences upon developing a functioning website. Thus, we went on conducting research. Due to the lack of experience, our system is not fully functioning. The risk calculator is currently still unable to calculate the score based on the decision that users made. However we are sure that we could improve our skill and develop a fully functioning system in the future. Thanks to NASA for providing an awesome opportunity and allow us understand our strengths and weaknesses. We hope the skills we learnt during this hackathon will be able to contribute to the organization that we work with in the near future.
