BikeList is an alternative used bike marketplace that introduces more transparency in the bike buying process so you can rest assured that your purchase will not contribute to the cycle of bike theft. BikeList integrates with BikeIndex, an open-source bike registry, to verify that listed bikes are not stolen and uses Facebook OAuth to tie listings to the seller’s online identity. A smooth user interface and features such as location-based search, bike-specific search filters, detailed bike specs, and info guides further enhance the bike buyer’s experience.

Common Clarity

by Katie S.

Technologies Used: AngularJS, D3, JavaScript, Python, Flask, HTML5, CSS3/Sass, jQuery, BeautifulSoup, SQLAlchemy, and Postgresql

CommonClarity transforms standardized test data into a visual, interactive reporting dashboard for teachers, to help inform and target instruction. Data-driven instruction has grown in popularity with the rise of standardized testing. In many districts around the country, students take standardized tests nearly every other month. These tests generate a huge amount of data, which teachers are expected to utilize to inform instruction; however, they lack the time and the tools to make sense of it. CommonClarity makes it easy for teachers to upload their data and instantly generate a dashboard of reports, showing their students’ strengths and weaknesses according to Common Core State Standards. Data are grouped in useful ways to expose patterns and track progress, so that teachers can better help students improve.

by Anka K.

SwiftSwap overcomes the biggest challenge with bartering and that its hard to find what you want from the person who will barter for the skill you have. SwiftSwap searches the user network to find a closed path between users which means every user gets access to the skill they want without a one to one exchange. It utilizes a NetworkX method of finding elementary circuits based on Johnson’s algorithm called simple_cycles. It locates a closed loop where the beginning and ending of the path is the same user.Users can sign up, enter their wanted and offered skills and find out if there is a closed path in the network that makes their bartering experience swift.
