  Send events to Google Calendar

Winning Student

Purpose

We created a way for students to easily upload their timetables to Google Calendar as well share them with other students. We integrate Google Calendar with Amazon Echo to create a convenient tool for students to access their course schedules.

Technicalities

We extracted the calendar events from html files as json files, uploaded the files into the Google Calendar, and integrated it with the Amazon Echo.

Challenges

-The Calendar in the webpage was difficult to convert into the acceptable json files.

-The Google Calendar API and OAuth2 integration

-Alexa sometimes didn't recognize commands

Learned About

-OAuth2 protocol

-Webpage scraping
