Minimize Risk by re-COnnect

High-Level Project Summary

We wanted to develop a program that can calculate the risk percentage of people getting covid-19 with the addition of advises given to them in order to help them minimize risk of getting Covid-19. It solves the challenge by calculating the risk of getting Covid-19 and answering to the problem by giving advices on minimizing risk for Covid-19. It is important because this program can help a lot of people minimize the risk of Covid-19 and that is also our ultimate goal of this project.

Detailed Project Description

It does the work of calculating the risk percentage of a person getting Covid-19 by the data they have inputed. It also gives advice to them on how to minimize the risk of getting Covid-19 and can see the data number of Covid-19 cases both on the map and within the data collection under. It works by the user inputing informations asked by our program and the program can calculate the risk percentage of the user getting Covid-19, it also have a map where users can scroll through to see covid cases near their area. Its benefit is to advice people on Covid-19 and hoping to achieve the goal of helping them reduce the risk of getting it. We used python within visual studio code to develop our project.

Space Agency Data

We researched NASA websites on the change to pollution because of Covid-19 and it inspired us to do this project as it is interesting on how Covid-19 can relate to the reduction of pollution. While considering the benefits brought by Covid-19 to our environment, it is also important to realize its negative impacts on our economy and people. Thus our project is focused on people and our risk of getting the Covid-19. We researched websites such as cdc.gov to get the accurate statistics for some of the elements of Covid-19, and we also used college websites such as UC Davis's data on vaccination.

Hackathon Journey

This experience is unique as it has been a while since me and my friends together(in this case my teammates) have discuss and do a project together on current events. This project really made us think about current things happening around the world and how we can play our role in it bye helping others minimizing risk of getting the infectious Covid-19. We learned to overcome challenges posed by our project and learned some essential skills of team working and researching during the process of our challenge. What inspired us is to do a research on the current pandemic and how we can help others during this event to reduce their risk of getting Covid-19. Our approach was first devising a plan to get to our goals and follow that plan step by step. Although we did not finish our project, we achieved a major part of it by developing a working user interface for the program and setting up the formula and code needed for calculating the risk percentage. We resolved challenges by trying the best of our ability to overcome it, and if it doesn't work, we always find another way that can work, the main thing is that we don't give up. I would like to thank my mentor introducing me to this challenge and helping me along the way to give me advice on the project. I also would like to thank two of my team members for helping me along with the project and most important of all, helping each other! That is the main reason I did it with them because my team members are awesome and we helped each other to get through the course of this challenge.
