This is the code to deploy an interactive Python Dash app created for 2020 Colombia Data Science for All -DS4A- program. For a video describing the project and showcasing the app click here.
Each year, Colombian undergraduates take the Test for the Quality of Higher Education - Saber PRO, as a prerequisite for graduation. The test assesses math, reading, citizenship, writing and English skills of students at every higher education institution. The scores of this test become publicly available each year, with the idea that institutions and the Government identify vulnerable populations and adjust their education policies.
This interactive dashboard allows universities and other institutions to easily explore which factors matter the most to student performance on the SABER PRO. Our application lets institutions visualize the results of predictive models to explore how changing some of these factors could affect scores in future exams.
This multi-page app allows the user to explore all the data from 2016 to 2019 of SABER PRO scores of over 990 thousand students. The app allows the users to look at the data both through descriptive visualizations, as well as through visually exploring the results of predictive models.

The app was built on Dash, which is a simple and effective way to bind a user interface around Python code. It functions as a multipage application where each .py file within the apps folder of this repo is a page on the app.
The app is currently deployed using Heorku through GitHub integration on the Heroku website. GitHub integration is configured for a Heroku app and manually deployed, which creates an immediate deployment of the master branch from the current GitHub repo.
1. Open Anaconda Prompt and activate your working environment.
2. Install the requirements using
pip install -r path to file/requirements.txt
3. Set the current directory to the folder App and run the index.py file. This can be done by typing
cd path_to_folder/ds4a-saber-pro-app
python index.py
4. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8050/
1. Create heroku account
2. Download and install the Heroku CLI
3. Log into Heroku account in CMD
$ heroku login
4. Use Git to clone dash-saber-pro's source code to your local machine
$ heroku git:clone -a dash-saber-pro
$ cd dash-saber-pro
5. Make some changes to the code you just cloned and deploy them to Heroku using Git.
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "make it better"
$ git push heroku master
