A study found out that in 2020, women comprise only 28.8% of the tech workforce. While this has been a slight increase from what it was in 2018, we wanted to contribute to changing the same. This is how we came up with Podium.

• In many countries, women and non-binary groups struggle in tech and various opportunities emerging in today's world.

• Podium will stand beside them and provide them with opportunities and help them to get involved in various meetups, open source programs, content and many more activities happening in the world of tech.

• We used Velo by Wix to build our project.

• Wix is a no-code tool and we tried our best to build our project idea realistic.

• We used different Wix apps to add to our website eg: added a Login/SignUp system with various badges like seekers alumni and mentors

• We have also used Python to scrape some websites through Beautiful-Soup to get data regarding different opportunities and how we can help them to get into tech

• Building a fun project is entertaining but it also comes with a lot of challenges.

• Wix was a new tool for all of us. We all together as a team had to learn about Wix before using it. Some of us were not able to edit templates and had to figure out solutions from the documentation and support sections.

• We also faced some challenges while scraping data using Python and Beautiful soup.

• We are proud of working as a team and building a project that lives up to our expectations.

• We're proud that after having so many challenges we finally came up with our project on Wix and also we got to learn about the new no-code tool and Beautiful soup.

• We learned a lot this weekend and worked as a great team throughout the hackathon

• We read about a new no-code tool called Velo by Wix so we can use it in our future projects. We had to read about Velo's API referencing documentation that allowed us to connect databases to Wix sections.

• We also got to figure out on how to write custom JavaScript logic using Velo's editor syntax.

• We also learned about web scraping using Python and Beautiful Soup

We plan on taking our project to new heights by providing more features to make it more accessible. We will try to add a better chatting platform for our users and mentors to interact via our website.
