Hackathon - UoM StudentHack

About

I got to take part in a Hackathon with UniCSHackathons! It was an awesome experience and my team were amazing to work with - we created a site where you can choose between 3 versions of real news articles, aimed at primary, secondary and adult ages to learn about current space events! The articles were scraped using puppeteer/cheerio from spacenews.com then stored on a PostgreSQL database using a Django backend, before being sent to Google's Gemini LLM to create the new content. The new articles were displayed with a React and typescript frontend!
