Inspiration

Throughout history, women have made extraordinary contributions to their societies. Some are well known, some less so, but all have been trailblazers. Explore a small selection of these women and learn what the reality still is today for many women and girls worldwide.

As of 2021, a significant content gender gap on Wikipedia still exists, where fewer than one in five biographies is about women and even fewer article contributors self-identified as female.

That's how we came up with W-aple Story! A fun way to celebrate women in stem one story at a time. Because there are so many achievements that need to be showcased.

What it does

W*-apleStory is an interactive timeline of Women* Footprints throughout history, where you're able to add a woman to your network who created an impact or meet some women* in the past.

How we built it

NodeJS, React, MTLH Canvas, Maplestory API , Groundswell - Heroku/Domain.com , Figma

Challenges we ran into

Only two people working so we had to work efficiently and have a limited feature scope Never used HTML Canvas before and images weren’t loading properly :(

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Worked with the MapleStory.io API (It's really cool!) Learned about all the amazing work women have done throughout the years Developed both a high High-Fidelity prototype and turn it into a working website We deployed an application using Heroku!!

What we learned

We learned how to use HTML Canvas Deploy using Heroku What's next for W*-apleStory Share your footprint with others! Let others know who your “tribe” is and acknowledge everyone’s amazing accomplishments. In addition, to Create a character that can walk around in the world and interact with the others
