Addressing Biased Comments
Summary
Our project is a tool to help people grow by learning to confront biased comments. Doing this changes thinking that perpetuates inequality.
How We Addressed This Challenge
Our project is an exercise in addressing biased comments. It's important because people often feel uncomfortable confronting these types of statements, and this tool helps people practice. First, you can practice by reading scenarios and entering your response to each scenario. Then, you can compare your response with the suggested response. We hope this project is a starting point for reflection.
How We Developed This Project
We were inspired to choose this challenge because we have a heart for eradicating inequality. We started with a team meeting where we verbally laid out what we wanted to achieve, then we created a kanban with user stories and routes. Our tech stack consists of JavaScript, Python, Flask, HTML, and Bootstrap. We deployed our website on Heroku. We encountered some hiccups when we ran into several git conflicts, but we were able to get together on zoom and iron them out as a team. We were excited to have the experience of coding as a team-- this was a first for many of us! In the future, we'd like to add user capability to the website so users can edit and delete their scenarios.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We relied on the resources provided to us by NASA to guide our suggested responses to scenarios. We also included three of NASA's suggested resource on our education page.
Project Demo
We deployed our website. We figured the best demo would be your user experience! Here is a slide that demonstrates user flow as well.
Data & Resources
We used data-backed resources from NASA's recommended resource list on our team resource page:
