Inspiration
We chose to address a waste/pollution problem in communities. Nowadays, we’ve been seeing more and more waste (plastic bottles, bags, etc.) piled up on sidewalks, in parks, and other locations. What was once a place where children could play or where pedestrians could walk was now littered with trash. We all wanted to do something about it, but it’s definitely not a one person task. With SustaiNet, we’re able to enlist the help of others in our community to help make our areas as waste free as possible.
What it does
Our app, Sustainet is designed to let people organize cleanups to improve their local environments. Through the app, users can create posts about local issues they have observed in order to recruit other users to help address their issues and improve their local environments.
How we built it
We used MIT App Inventor.
Challenges we ran into
We all live in different time zones, so communication was difficult.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to put this together in a short period of time.
What we learned
We learned how to work effectively.
What's next for SustaiNet
We hope to add in more AI features such as image detection.
