I am a member of HackCville, a collective of UVA students and Charlottesville community members who are passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and getting stuff done. This semester, I was a member of the Node, HC’s data science program (I’ll be a node TA next semester! HC is open to everyone, apply here!). In order to become a fully fledged HackCville member, every program member must complete and present a final project using what they learned in their program. For my project, I chose to build a program that could track the number of people, via camera, at a place over time.
