Buttons for Dining Hall

Inspiration

Wanted to try something knew since it was our first hackathon and didn't know what to do. Wanted to try and learn a new language in 36 hours. Wanted to make/ incorporate something we use/do, which was eating at a dining hall.

What it does

It was supposed to pull up each day dining hall food for each diner and tell what is being served. Later on we wanted to add notifications and filters where you can check if it’s vegetarian/vegan/chicken etc.

How we built it

We wanted to know what would be the best platform to make it on and we concluded that it was flutter. Watched tutorials and videos on how to use the software and try to incorporate what we wanted to do.

Challenges we ran into

Learning something completely new in 36 hours is really hard, like really hard. But we wanted to challenge ourselves and try something we didn't know previously. Getting used to the syntax, and understanding on what the platform runs was hard to grasp at first because the learning curve is really high at that point.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we decided to do this and not something we previously done before. It made us mad at sometimes but we persevered and did the best we could with our abilities.

What we learned

Even though we couldn't really finish what we wanted to do, we're still gonna try to learn and still grow and finish what we have started. Learning a new language or anything in general can be very hard at sometimes but if you have the mindset of knowing you want to do it, then anything is possible.
