Easy way for GoA, help me get some name data to teach some kids

[Malvadere]

I'm teaching an employee's kids some web/mobile writing and they're curious about data and APIs. I'm making a quick lesson and helped them build a name-gathering form that tells you what the longest name of everyone logged in.

I could use your help, and will be giving away some GoA over the next few week/months/until we outgrow this. All you need to do to be a help and be eligible for GoA is copy the who full list in game (just the names, not the adventurer count please) and past it in the form here (http://stmoule.github.io/GS4NameData/index.html).

Feel free (ie please please) to do this every day or so and you'll definitely increase your chances (random roll of submissions, only one submission per day will count) for some GoA ($20) given periodically.

Happy to answer any questions, and we all greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Stephen

I love Firebase for teaching web APIs and data stuff.

The mapbox API is another good one for quick, visible results.

I'll throw some data your way soon.

Thank you Gnomad, I'll have to check mapbox out. I know her daughters are really enjoying watching the submissions come in, they text me with each submission. They're really eager to start writing cool stuff with it. I actually think they think GS is kind of cool too

Awesome idea, and implementation! Will definitely add in data as many days as possible. Good luck to the kids, too!

[Malvadere]

Wow, the response and amount of submission to this has exceeded my expectations. Thank you. GoA's come early June. I need to get these girls in statistics so they see how much of outlier they are a) wanting to code, b) wanting to play GS4

Bump and another big thanks, spent some time working with them on the data this weekend.

First GOA goes to PC user Chalion. Congrats and thank you. Probably will do the next one next weekend. I'm having the girls write the random math function to choose the winners, and we will be re-indexing a and organizing all the submissions so we can try out some more stuff. Thank again, keep submitting!

Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks a lot ! I hope it brings interest not only into STEM but also gemstone!

Next and final round of GoA go to Hips and Roblar. Wow, thank you to everyone. I hope to connect you all with some insane start up these girls have in the future. Hips,Roblar, PM me with your Simu username. Again, thank you. This will be our last GoA and we may reconfigure things in the future (I'll make another campaign), but any more submissions will go unnoticed.

We received over 250 submissions and I want to thank you (hey maybe these girls will invent something sick and you can say 'I totally helped her with that' and no one will care but its still cool)

Thanks,

Stephen
