Our team, driven by a mutual passion for sustainability, recently embarked on a collective journey to create an innovative solution that addresses the increasingly pressing issue of invasive plant species. With a shared desire to preserve our ecosystems and promote biodiversity, we attempted making an online platform that educates and empowers individuals to combat the spread of invasive plants.
What it does
The website behaves to where if a state on the United States map is clicked, it navigates to a separate webpage to educate on the informational aspects of the invasive plant species for that specific state. We also incorporated GIS mapping to show the data.
How we built it
The website is a mix of HTML and CSS programming, and managed through GitHub for collaboration.
Challenges we ran into
Some challenges we ran into working with GitHub and pulling/pushing/commit out files to the main branch. Unfortunately, this took up quite a lot of our time resolving these situations, and having to learn the reason for why the files were not displaying on some peoples directories.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were proud of resolving the multiple GitHub issues that occured. As well as being able to implement the arcGIS map made into the programs files and making the arcGIS maps color-blind friendly.
What we learned
We've learned a better understanding of how GitHub works and how to work together on a project through the software. As well as GIS mapping and how to implement that into our webpage.
What's next for FloraMap
Although this project was enjoyable to figure out and learn how to make, we feel there will be no further work done after today.
