Inspiration

Let's face it. Most students are broke.

Typically making money and being a student are at odds with one another. Studying doesn't bring any money in and if you are working you aren't studying. A+ makes making money and being a student one.

What it does

Your supporters pledge money to you for each A you receive. When you submit you transcript to A+ to be verified, you receive money for each A you get.

Your supporters can be scholarship foundations, grandparents, friends.

How I built it

I made an Android app for a front end and used Flask running on AWS in the backend. I also integrated the Capital One Nessie API for payments

Challenges I ran into

Too much sloppy code

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

First time i created a backend using Flask and AWS

What I learned

So much about Android, RESTFul APIs, and so much more

What's next for A+

I'll have to think about it. It definitely needs a polish!
