High-Level Project Summary
We are creating a phone application that helps the user calculate the risk of getting infected with the COVID-19 virus. We have solved this challenge by using social, epidemiological, geolocated, and individualized data to give risk warnings to respective users. This app serves each user by providing several questions for the user to answer. The app will then use the obtained information to calculate the risk of the user getting infected with COVID-19, and guild them accordingly. It is very important to know one's risk of infection because COVID-19 is a widespread pandemic which is extremely dangerous that can harm anyone. By using this app, individuals can estimate the risk of them gett

Detailed Project Description
This application uses different data to determine the amount of risk someone is exposed to being infected. These data include chronic diseases, the average temperature of a location in China, activity, and residential area. There will be a point system that will combine together to find a certain score for the user. The score will determine how high of a risk the user will be infected. Additional guidance will be given to people with high risks of getting infected by COVID-19. I hope this app will achieve its goal which is to spread awareness among people on the risks of being infected, and also serve as a tool to determine whether one is likely to be infected. Powerapps was used to create this app on my laptop.

Space Agency Data
Throughout our project, we have used many sources of invaluable information, both open data and data from Space Apps. We have used sources of reliable information from several trusted websites. Open data we have used include how occupation is a contributing factor in Covid-19 risk from the Visual Capitalist, age as a factor for the Covid-19 fatality rate, and a sample quiz for Covid-19 risk from the Times of India which is used as a template for the quiz in our app. As for data from Space Apps, the workshop in Apps in a day (session 2) inspired us and gave us an idea on how we could carry out our project using PowerApps. We have also found a YouTube video on how to make a quiz with PowerApps by Shane Young heavily valuable in the process of developing our app with the team
Hackathon Journey
I describe this journey as a tough one. My team and I had to work overtime to complete this challenging task. I learned a lot about coding, as well as the qualities of being a leader. My team decided to choose this challenge because it looked interesting and manageable. It also fits our skillsets perfectly. We approached this project by splitting tasks among the team members and working together to bring the little puzzle pieces together. Despite having one of our team members getting sick, we continued to work harder to complete this project, splitting the task among the other group members. If there's anyone I'd like to thank, it would be my very team members. We worked hard together to reach a goal that we never thought we could achieve.
