Inspiration

According to WAR more than 28% of high school student have at least once using wildlife products. And general department of environment has claim that 69% of respondents have used wildlife product, 35% believed Vietnam does not have any penalties. So, therefore we using our survey to clarify this and turn our that nearly 46% don’t know which animals come from wildlife, 61% don’t know about laws, 63% don’t know that animal only exist in VN. By this reason, we chosen Vietnam problem statement 1, which is raising awareness about threats of consuming wildlife. ANIMA was created platform to convey the message of health, laws and wildlife animal information on different types of knowledge. Through that, we somehow inspire behavior change among current and potential consumers.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

First of all, we don't have a true UI/UX designer, so we are facing the difficulties in designing the Front-end for the app. Secondly, since there are none of us have experienced Android before, therefore, we are struggling through the developing the app. Lastly, we also argued a lot deciding the overall architecture of the application to ensure the scalability and ease of updating in the the future

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is the first time that we experience a Hackathon event, so it is already an achievement for us. We also glad that we have a chance to experience Android, even though it was a little rough, we are glad that we have made a product that can be helpful for the society.

What we learned

There are many things that we learned in this event, including team-working, developing, problem-solving and time-management, which is vital in an event like this.

What's next for ANIMA

With this product, we will improve the Android app, especially in UI/UX experience, and improving the scalability of the app. We will also test the product in the center and the north of Vietnam, maybe even delta center because this the place where selling wild animals happens dynamically.
