PACKERPACKER
Inspiration
Every time there is a need to travel, there is always stress about packing. Along with the important aspects that travelers need to focus on, packing is not optimal for easy travels. This is why with a packing assistant, travelers can focus on their own worries and think less about packing.
What it does
Inputting a location into the PackerPacker will give you the weather data for that location, and the essentials along with what you need according to the weather. Inputting activities, which is not necessary, will also give you items that you may want to pack as well.
How we built it
We built it with our beginner to intermediate knowledge of python. We used the tkinter library to create a demo of the actual functionality, and for the functions we used a free weather API along with the requests python library to access it. All our code is based around these libraries, and for now our items to be packed are in lists. To make it automated with more items, we would need to do data analysis and use other python libraries for the analysis, and we didn't have the time to conduct the data gathering.
Challenges we ran into
We are still beginners, so some of the error and problems we ran into we did not know how to solve. When this happened, we had to do research about why we got these errors, and once we figured out why we fixed them.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Making this project, it is our first time making this kind of project and finishing it.
What we learned
We learned a lot about API libraries and how to use them, and what they are in general. We also learned the libraries and all their functions.
What's next for PackerPacker
We hope to make it an actual website or app where people can go when they need packing assistance.
