This is the repository for data scrapers used by the Red Mountain Makers to gather data regarding:
- Regional middle and high school tech education (in development)
- Regional children's tech and programming summer camps (not yet developed)
- Regional children's tech and programming focused afterschool programs (not yet developed)
- Automated gathering of space supply prices (not yet developed)
We are creating these scrapers because a lot of local and regional information available online is not well structured and easy to gather. This information is needed to support regional tech education advocacy -- and for the last item, to make shopping for space supplies smarter, easier and more cost-efficient.
Other scraper ideas:
- Craigslist, eBay and auction scrapers to monitor equipment for sale
