Inspiration
We were inspired by the problem of unemployment during the Great Depression and the beginning of WW2 when creating this project. Our primary goal was to create a website to provide a solution to this issue.
What it does
ModuCon is a web platform that tackles the unemployment problem in 2 ways. First, ModuCon allows small business owners to ask for funding to build products from rifles, crops, and anywhere in between. Second, ModuCon supports unemployed individuals by compiling a list of open jobs on our website for people to conveniently search on.
How I built it
We build ModuCon with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. We used Sublime Text as a text editor and Github for our work to be collaborative.
Challenges I ran into
A challenge we ran into was the logistics of how funders, business owners, and job applicants would communicate through our website. We wanted to make the user experience as convenient as possible, especially regarding the fact that people from the early 1900s would not be as familiar with websites or technology. It was difficult to provide a solution for groups of people to network simplistically, but in the end, we managed to create a process where users are given business addresses. We felt like this familiarity would be most convenient for both parties.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of the clean user interface we were able to build and our impactful mission.
What I learned
During this Hackathon, I strengthened my skills in CSS, learned about Javascript functions, and dived deeper into programming HTML forms.
What's next for ModuCon
If we were to add more features, we would add a location filter in the Jobs and Fund pages, so that users can easily find jobs in their location or factories near them that have available orders.
