Citation Needed

+

The proper way to cite university references

+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Inspiration

+

RefME got bought out my Cite This For Me and CTFM is terrible as it doesn't have the BCU-customised Harvard Referencing System. Many of the other Referencing Managers aren't that good either. We decided to fix this problem once and for all.

+

What It Does

+

It takes your input and converts the information you provide into a correctly formatted BCU Harvard citation - provided it's a web source.

+

How We Built It

+

A little bit of JS, loads of HTML, loads of CSS, loads of PHP, sprinkles of tears, a ton of swearing and loads of pain.

+

Challenges We Ran Into

+

PHP. Indentation. Semi-colons. Enough said.

+

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

+

It works a lot better than we could have ever predicted.

+

What We Learned

+

Don't use PHP.

+

What's next for Citation Needed?

+

Extend it to other Referencing Systems and correct some of the design issues that are present. Also, finish actually building it.

Exam Buff or Exam Bluff

+

An quick and easy revision tool for both coding and theory. Only for Computer Science GCSE and above.

+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Inspiration

+

I need to help my students revise for their exams... How do I do this?! They need to revise how to code and revise the theory... Why make an app in the language they learn... They look at the source code and play the game.

+

What It Does

+

Play it and find out! Students can be so lazy at times...

+

How We Built It

+

With Visual Basic in Visual Studio using Visual Prompts using our eyes

+

Challenges We Ran Into

+

Not using CSV... Then trying to use CSV... Then realising the CSV works but the rest of the code doesn't...

+

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

+

1) It is finished... 2) That is all.

+

What We Learned

+

CSV is always an option... Probably the best... Possibly the only option...

+

What's next for Exam Buff or Exam Bluff?

+

Create more questions to help them with their revision. Put it into my lessons and challenge higher ability students to try and create their own version of the game (some framework would be provided)

Society+

+

A new way for societies to contact and administer membership.

+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Inspiration

+

Many students unions use a template for their websites which means that most of the time, these websites don't work. Society+ allows not only students to sign up to societies, but also allows the society's executive committee to manage membership, email and text society members and update information about the society.

+

How We Built It

+

Using our experience with HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL, we worked within Atom to create the main interface and the online designs. We used an installation of PHPMyAdmin with a MySQL engine to create the database which would be linked to the website. We also used the Nexmo API to provide an SMS service for the website. This API uses PHP POSTs, curl scripts and JSON queries.

+

Challenges We Ran Into

+

We originally used the Twilio API for our SMS services, however due to issues with their documentation and credit concerns, we switched to Nexmo which provided us with a fully comprehensive SMS API service.

+

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

+

The SMS sending page worked so well, I have started using the code for my own purposes.

+

What We Learned

+

Always read the API documentation beforehand!

+

What's next for Society+?

+

Continued development so we have a fully finished, working product that universities may take lead from.

Sort.AI

+

A Windows service concept that sorts your files automatically using the Google Natural Language API. + + Awarded 3rd Place

+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Inspiration

+

Sort.AI is an Windows service concept that sorts your files automatically using the Google Natural Language API. While doing coursework, I noticed that my file system could be abit more organised. Thats when my friend and I thought about using AI to organise our systems so we don't have to. That's where Sort.AI comes, inspired from the winner of BrumHack 5.0 who used the Google Natural Language API.

+

What It Does

+

Sort.AI is told where your 'Sort Bin' is and opens each text document and places it into the correct location. For example a document about Dogs would go into the Animals folder.

+

How We Built It

+

Using our experience with C# and knowledge within the Google Cloud API, we worked within the Visual Studio 2017 IDE to create both the form interface and the Windows Service. Unfortunately due to many things out of our hands we were unable to complete the Windows service. However, parts of the implementation have been included already, for example, the notification tray icon appearing and the ability to minimize to tray. We also used the Google Cloud API libraries to create our code.

+

Challenges We Ran Into

+

Everything! Literally everything, whether it was the API not connecting or the Windows service not running we came across many challenges while creating Sort.AI. Each of us had some form of battle whether it was against Visual Studio, GitHub or even the Google API. We collectively made decisions on how to tackle these issues including at times even swapping jobs around.

+

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

+

Being able to understand the Google API a bit better and design methods where we can utilise the API for the general market.

+

What We Learned

+

If in doubt, Google's about!

+

What's Next For Sort.AI?

+

We will possibly begin to develop on the idea after BullHacks however due to other commitments and projects this may be unlikely but we might regroup and focus on working on this product in the near future.
