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!
