Inspiration
The project was inspired by our stress accumulated from researching university requirements.
The goal of this project was to simply make it possible for high school students who struggle to figure out minimum admission grades for their universities and faculties of interest to quickly find their information all in one sitting with the help of our bot, UniChecker.
What it does
UniChecker is a discord bot which web scrapes Canadian universities' minimum admission grades from a website. It then organizes it in a readable way to present it to the users with the use of simple commands inputted by the user.
How we built it
Trough python on jupyternotebook for the webscraping and the processing of the data, then replit for the bot itself and it's commands.
Challenges we ran into
It was very difficult to effectively sort the information we had web scraped and to neatly represent it through the bot.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The University class with it's objects and the variable organization.
What we learned
We learned how to make discord bots and we have gained experience using python for webscraping data.
What's next for UniChecker
The next step for UniChecker is to broaden its reach by adding Canadian colleges, to soon contain the data of all North American post-secondary institutes and to convert different grading systems. Perhaps we could expand this to the entire globe, encompassing every university.
