Inspiration
We wanted to create an social change app that addressed issues outside the pandemic. As a result, we decided to create an interactive app to encourage sustainability in a fun way. The initial inspiration was Pokemon Go which led to the development into our gamified carbon footprint calculator. The main idea is that you accumulate points by reducing your carbon footprint through small daily decisions. You can build a green city inside the app using the points you have collected.
What it does
It calculates the user's carbon footprint and allows the user to build their own city by accumulating points through making greener choices.
How we built it
Python. Carbon city folder and status bar file in github link. https://github.com/Chinene-C/hackherthon
Challenges we ran into
Git, python.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Code and presentation.
What we learned
Teamwork.
What's next for Carbon City
We want to code more deeply for the game app to make it as interactive as possible.
