Inspiration
We believe that diversity is critical for people to understand and emphasize with each other. However, to truly have diversity, you must also understand culture and background. in the past, the best way to do this was to travel, to experience the people, the rich history, and the culture of different places firsthand. However, ever since the pandemic, travel has become nothing but a distant memory. Not only that, but some people aren't even able to travel, be it due to work, family, or other reasons. Thus, we built the culture station, aimed at everyone, as a fun and educational way to learn about the different cultures of the world, and increase diversity.
What it does
The culture train utilizes a train as an extended metaphor to take the user on a journey through three different countries, whilst explaining each countries' ethnicity, food, art, music, culture, entertainment, and landmarks, in a fun yet educational way.
How we built it
We used React.
Challenges we ran into
Researching about each culture, incorporating the train to transition smoothly
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're the proudest of the front page, and the design of the trains which we made from scratch.
What we learned
We learned about different cultures and gained more respect for each one.
What's next for Culture Train
We hope to add even more countries, and also expand more on them, adding more fun facts about their background and culture.
