Inspiration

• It was hard to find information about COVID cases in universities. We wanted to have a place where all of that information could be aggregated.

What it does

• It shows recent COVID cases throughout universities
• It shows recent COVID cases generally throughout specific provinces
• It has links to mental health institutions near each university

How we built it

• Front-end was developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap
• Backend was developed using PHP, MySQL, and Python
• Hosted on Heroku

Challenges we ran into

• It was a challenge to unify the data as it was different for each university

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We are proud to have fully completed the project in the specified amount of time
• We implemented a graphic to supplement the data provided by the tables

What we learned

• We learned a lot about development in general
• We stepped out of our comfort zone in order to try new languages or development methods

What's next for COVID Overflow

• Next we want to add more universities to our dashboard
• We want to be able to compare data between universities
