Inspiration
When we were brainstorming for our project, we realized that there was a problem that wasn't spoken up enough about. This was women in the workforce. We had an interest in 360-degree videos, which later then introduced us to the name Orb.
What it does
Our solution is to provide a safe community where women can report on their experiences of harassment in the workplace. We provide a woman's perspective in an office, and we collect statistics survey-based data.
How we built it
Orb was built by our developers, Beth and Kawtar using HTML, and CSS on Glitch.
Challenges we ran into
Most of us were new to Hackathons, and time managing was definitely a challenge for all of us. Knowing that most of us were halfway across the world (wow), we had to deal with different timezones and hours lost. We also needed to find a way to know that our users retained whatever was said in the video. With that, we created a survey that allows us to see the effectiveness of our solution by allowing our users to give their experience and what they have learned.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Getting the project out!
- Our presentation!
- The idea in general! We believe that our solution will really make an impact on the lives of working women!
What we learned
- Time management
- New technical terms
- How a Hackathon works - considering these were our first Hackathons!
What's next for Orb
We hope you enjoy our MVP. Orb would like to further our service by enhancing our website and covering more pressing topics. We would like to implement our solution to a variety of workplaces and not just the office! We plan to reach as far as hospitals! We also plan to add a feature where you can sign in, which then lets you join the forum where you can connect with other women and uplift each other! We plan to expand our outreach and allow our website to function more conveniently for people. Thank you so much!!!
