Inspiration

Too many people go hungry or sleep outside simply because they can’t find help. We wanted to change that using tech.

What it does

BridgeAid connects people in need to nearby food banks and shelters with real-time info and directions.

How we built it

Built with React, Flask, Python, JavaScript, HTML & CSS, and Google Gemini API. Google Generative AI helps users find resources through a interactive chat box.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating APIs, managing real-time updates, and designing a clean, accessible interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a working prototype that connects real people to real help

What we learned

How to combine empathy and tech for social impact.

What's next for BridgeAid

Partnering with local shelters, adding multilingual support, and expanding citywide.
