Where There’s a Link, There’s a Way

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been a proliferation of websites and portals developed to share resources about the topic. Your challenge is to find innovative ways to present and analyze integrated, real-time information about the environmental factors affecting the spread of COVID-19.

Your Decisions Make The Future

Summary

A platform with information about environmental factors and COVID19, it creates a scenario for the user where he faces situations and decides. Our project will determine the percentage of that end occurring, depending on the information it collected. If A websites informed that an end is most likely to occur, it’ll get the percentage, among the N websites it used. The users will be aware of the importance of their decisions, for the planet. Finally, the source and users who made similar decision

How We Addressed This Challenge

Your Decisions Make The Future, addresses the challenge “where there's a link, there's a way”, in such a way that our project is not just one link or one more page among many but a source that collects information in a didactic way, since it does not You only receive information that they give you but you also process and analyze it as if you were living that reality, you are the protagonist, where your own decisions show you how it affects the history that is taking place, but also the history of the planet, reason why it makes the user aware that their decisions, however small they may be, if they affect daily life. That is why what our project does is so important, it creates a story where you can learn from practice and error, until you reach the end you decide, then we would be analyzing integrated information in real time and presenting it to users so that they are informed about the spread of COVID 19 and the relationship of environmental factors and be part of the change by generating a support network among people who made decisions similar to yours.

How We Developed This Project

What inspired us to do “where there's a link, there's a way” was that we felt that it was the only one in which we could create a solution from scratch, in which that solution was suitable for any user, without necessarily knowing about the topic, which makes it transversal for anyone who wants to find out. We approximately 4 years ago have experiences in STEM and this was the challenge to our consideration which was closest to our knowledge, in order to use all our capabilities to their full potential.

The purpose of Your Decisions Make The Future, is to be able to inform people in an innovative way, that they understand the information that we are giving them, that they become aware of the importance of taking care of knowing what is happening around us and that they can know how important are their decisions in this, that they know that every decision that is made today regarding the coronavirus tomorrow is not going to be able to change, that it is important to be informed in order to make a good resolution of what we are facing.

All the stories created with this platform were based on the information provided by NASA and other sources of information on the COID-19 and environmental factors, so each story is true and is with real information, for any user who uses the platform will read current information.

The tools we used to carry out this project were various compilers to carry out the code, such as repl.it or geany, in which we programmed in c ++. For our website we use porkbun, neustar and weeblycloud. We also looked for information https://registry.opendata.aws/collab/nasa/ another one we used was https://nasa.github.io/data-nasa-gov-frontpage/ to create the stories. We also already activated our microsoft accounts thank you very much for that: D. Other very important resources that we used to develop this project were video calls and google drive, because this way we could communicate and work on the responses.

One problem we had with our project was accessing the porkbun code due to the issue that at one point it stopped working for Latin America, which caused us a delay with the creation of the website, but after they were activated we still couldn't use it. until 20-21 hours on the 30th, which slowed us down a lot but we managed, another problem we had was that we had the idea, but we don't know how to carry it out, nor if it could bear fruit, but when we managed to find the necessary information and we managed to make a code that works (our code works in the following way, it is a simulation of what the future will be, since it shows you on the screen the options of the decisions that the story has that shows you the following story correlated with the decision you made). Another achievement we had was when a team from Latin America congratulated us for being the only team I knew of being pure women and that all the members are under 18.
