Camp Sight

Inspiration

• We noticed how little people engage with the outdoors and wanted to change that.
  
• With students buried under deadlines and finals approaching at lightning speed, we felt it was crucial to remind them to step outside and reconnect with nature.

What it does

Our app gives students a quick and easy way to connect with nature around them.

• It does this by taking in the students longitude and latitude and queries the long. and lat. for nearby activities. -It intakes a radius and displays the results from above as such.

How we built it

-Our intuition model based on Gemini uses classical user data collection and prompt engineering to give outdoor activity recommendations to everyday users.

Challenges we ran into

• We restarted two times.
• The first time, we bit off more than we could chew.
• The second time, we had a large amount of issues with our front end, and didn't have time to learn a new stack.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We are very proud to pivot very well after restarting
• We are also very proud the accuracy of our recommendations
  • We have a member from the Appalachian mountains, and said the recommendations were top notch for his area

What we learned

• Generative AI is not reliable, most of the time generating clean, but not working, code

What's next for Camp Sight

• We would like to have a better UI to enhance user experience and make the app feel more fluid
• We would also like a better data analysis model
