Location is automatically detected and data is determined based on it but users also have the flexibility to view data for other cities by inputting the city name in the field provided. The website also displays an interactive map which shows the location of the city for which the data is being viewed. The frontend is developed using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The backend is developed using Python, Django and Django Rest Framework. The code makes a call to open weather map APIs and Google API. ### Associate Outreach Chair @ EWB-USA, Northeast Region Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | UC Irvine As a part of the Outreach Committee, we focus on after school engineering programs.

It helps acquire technical skills, entrepreneurial skills and experiences. The idea is to "learn by doing". I am interning with them for the 'Make Workshop' -a program which conducts workshops for students and provides a hands on experience. Participants include high school and college students or sometimes even professional teachers. I am the Lead mentor in the field of Augmented Reality. Fall 2016 was the first time Augmented Reality was introduced for Make Workshops so I formulated the entire curriculum and all documentations. I designed an app based on AR using Unity and Vuforia which can be installed on any platform. The app focuses on a game of maze which is similar to the idea of a ball in a maze puzzle. ### Contributing Writer @ The Tab Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 ### Summer Intern @ Iglyte AMS Pvt. Ltd.
