I wrote this script to reduce manual work of writing the certificates after my college fest, Banjaara 2017.
A .csv file with names and colleges of all students can be used to get all the information, and create certificates.
I wrote another version of the certificate writer for Short Course on Big Data (by Prof. Jennifer Widom, Stanford University) that I TA'd for. This version uses a PNG image as the original template, and generates certificates with student names on them in PNG format. This is available in image_format/.
Note to self: template for this course certificate (and the CSV file originally used in the code) is in Ashoka Course Work/Short Course on Big Data/TAship on Drive.
