Inspiration
*Travel media made specifically for people of color and women is really popular on social media right now * and for a reason. People want to be informed about the places they travel to before they go, so as to avoid any possible safety risks. We want to build a place where a user can find this kind of information in one place instead of having to sift through many accounts on many social media platforms.
What it does
Our application will visualize data revolving around hate, race-based, or gender-based crimes to inform the user of possible areas that they should be more cautious about or avoid altogether to facilitate a more convenient and safer travel experience.
We will also suggest minority-owned businesses and minority-friendly experiences to our users to support these kinds of establishments.
In order to do all of this we will be relying on Twitter connotation data about different places and experiences, as well as statistics about hate crimes, and minority businesses.
How we built it
We built it by using HTML and CSS templates and then modifying them to fit our needs.
Ideally, we would have used Google Maps API, FBI crime statistics, and Twitter sentiments to visualize the data for our users.
Challenges we ran into
We had a hard time visualizing the crime rate data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting our website up!
What we learned
We learned a lot about the web-building process.
What's next for York Expeditions
We would like to figure out how to get our data visualized so that the sole purpose of our application is actually realized.
