Scholar

During Covid-19, we are looking for opportunities to expand our knowledge, so I have created an app that allows middle and high schoolers to earn scholarships for what they are passionate about.

Inspiration

Due to virtual learning, we aren't able to have the same motivation to do anything out of the boundaries. So I decided to create awareness amongst my peers about the various scholarship options available. The app, Scholar allows 6th-12th graders to access scholarships in their interest.

How I built it

I built it using front end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and programmed the app on Qoom.

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge I ran into was coding an accordion style menu. It took me 2-3 hours to display the menu and understand the code. I was learning JavaScript, which was a bit challenging, but was a great experience. Also, Qoom only allowed me to create only 3 files, which meant I had to start on a small scale and work my way up to optimize all the important information in 3 files.

Accomplishments that I proud of

I am proud that I was able to present an app using front end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, enhancing the user's experience. I am happy that I was able to set myself goals on what I should complete each day in order to complete the app on time.

What I learned

First I learned that programming an app requires patience and is not so easy. Second, I was able to master my skills in HTML and CSS, through applying what I know in this app. Lastly, I learned how to make Scholar user interactive, by incorporating JavaScript.

What's next for Scholar

To take Scholar to the next level, I want to create a text box submission that allows the user to type in what they are interested in and with their input, as the programmer I want to filter the options, and display the most accurate scholarships that match their interests.
