COVID-19 In Pittsburgh: Bethel Park High School Students Develop COVID-19 Dashboard
BETHEL PARK (KDKA) - It's a question that parents and students have been asking for 10 months: "Is it safe to send my child back to the classroom?"
With that question in mind, a group of high school students came together to get that kind of information to parents to help answer that question.

Eight Bethel Park students developed what they say is the only COVID-19 dashboard in the country developed entirely by high school students.
Using Google Sheets, they track every case of COVID-19 broken down by school building and they even can parcel out student cases and teacher cases.
"We're definitely really happy about the feedback we've received, it's actually the second-most visited page on our district's website," said Christian McClaine, one of the students behind the project. "We've had 3,800 visits in the last 7 days and 12,000 visits since its inception."
The students had previously worked together on the competitive "Pittsburgh Data Jam."
