e-Mission

Inspiration

Climate change sucks. Also environmentalism has been growing at Imperial (with the implementation of Meat-Free Mondays) so we thought this would catch students' attention.

What it does

Calculates the carbon and water footprint of foods from a photo and returns a score to help you understand it

How I built it

With great difficulty

Challenges I ran into

Being chemists we had to learn how to develop the front-end on the job

Accessing tables with nested loops is hard when you have 3 variables to match with

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The database indexing was a success. "I made a code!!" -Andy

We made a thing!

What I learned

We are more resilient than we thought. If chemists can do it then it can't be that hard

What's next for e-Mission

Implementation throughout the whole database and adding more food items to the databases. Training the AI to recognise more food items.
