Inspiration
In school, we learned about how during WW1, many women had to take on jobs that they were not trained for to fill the economic void from most men going to war. While learning about this, all three of us had the same question: how did these women train for these jobs so quickly in a time period of war? Having technology during this period to learn and help others would have been very useful in this process, and therefore we were inspired by this prospect of innovation!
What it does
This app helps women find job opportunities near them and it helps employers train future workers with essential skills through videos. Women are also able to learn new skills so they can be able to work different jobs.5
How I built it
We built the app with Swift using Xcode. We also used Firebase to keep track of our users.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges we ran into was not being able to work on the classes part of the app because we didn't have enough time. We also weren't sure how to store data since we had two different types of users.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We successfully got the login page to work and also set up Firebase.
What I learned
I learned how to create a search bar and use the data collected to help users find what they need. I also learned how to implement Firebase properly and store data.
What's next for EduCare
We will work on implementing an active donation portal which helps people donate care packages to soldiers in need. We will also help connect a larger audience range to the employers and improve the way we store data in Firebase to emphasize quality and efficiency.
