95 or nah?

Sets the subject weightings according to math although many other subjects are supported
Sets knowledge mark
Sets thinking mark
Sets communication mark
Sets application mark
User clicks calculate to display their mark
Displays the user's math mark
Sets the subject weightings according to english
Sets knowledge mark
Sets thinking mark
Sets communication mark
Sets application mark
User clicks calculate to display their english mark
Displays user's english mark and we can see how the same marks with different weightings result in a different final mark

Inspiration

For this hackathon, we decided to create a program that we and our fellow high school students could use on a daily basis. Our school board, like many other boards in Ontario, is obliged to give segmented marks for any assignment, quiz, or test. All subjects have different mark weightings for each subject, thus it takes a student quite a long time to calculate their final mark. We wanted to automate this process and make it faster for a student to calculate their final mark.

What it does

This website is able to recognize the course the user is calculating the mark for, and use that information to adjust the mark weightings and give the user their final mark based on inputted segmented mark values.

How we built it

We built this website using HTML, Javascript and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

The team was not very experienced with styling, thus it was hard for us to figure out ways on how to make the website look visually appealing.

What we learned

Our team gained experience with CSS styling which allowed us to make a beautiful website while having the same amount of functionality. We also learned that teamwork is key for completing tasks skillfully and efficiently.

What's next for (95 || "nah");?

We plan on advertising and promoting it within our high school because we know that many people will want to calculate their final mark faster using this website. Also, we are planning to develop it into an android & iOS application for portability & offline access.

I mostly focused on the logic behind it.

I created the Javascript logic behind the website calculations, as well as the HTML layout of the website. My first time using CSS was successful, as I was able to efficiently import the Materialize framework and use it to make an effective minimalist design.

Using CSS, we stylized this app for a minimalistic UI. Which provides the user with a very unique experience. This was my first hackathon project, and a great opportunity for me to collab on my ideas with a group of people.

Throughout the hack, I was working on the logic & troubleshooting component. Since CSS, HTML & Javascript were entirely new languages to us, there were several logical & run-time errors that I helped troubleshoot. This was an amazing experience because of the amount that I learnt & the people I worked with.
