Inspiration
Inspired by Marriage Pact, a questionnaire designed with the intent to match you with your optimal partner on campus, we created a similar program, however, this one matches you with your ideal study buddy/study group.
What it does
Upon filling out a quick 3 minute survey , the data entered is sorted to help match you with your ideal partner.
How we built it
First, we collected data by sending out a Google Form asking people about their study habits/preferences. After receiving a sufficient amount of responses, we began analyzing data we collected through the use of mysql.connector in Python. And once we began our first couple of matchings, we used Figma to demonstrate the result and how our website would display them with more time and experience.
Challenges we ran into
After downloading the data as csv, we were not able to use MySQL because we would've had to pay. Applying SQL using Python was very new to us, and although we spent a lot of time at the mentor lounge, it was very rewarding once we were able to sort through our data using our code.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have been able to collect a sufficient amount of data in short amount of time, and that we were able to sort through said data using MySQL, a program which is very new to us. Additionally, we are proud of our Figma prototype we created as it was the first time many of us use the software.
What we learned
Having been the first hackathon for most of our group, there was a lot of learning that went on this weekend. Some of us learned Figma at one of the workshops and used the new acquired knowledge to create a mockup of our desired website. The other half of us learned more about SQL and python since it’s what we used to sort through our data. Finally, we all became more familiar with HTML/CSS to create our website with our Google Form embedded.
What's next for StudyPact
In the future with more time, StudyPact intends to branch out and become school specific across the nation. Additionally, we would like to include a profile area with calendar view where individuals are able to see upcoming study sessions and current study groups they are in. New matches will also be posted as new data gets collected and sorted.
