Inspiration
We have watched our parents coordinate carpooling for events through text messages and emails. Why not make it simple with an app?
What it does
Takes driver input (availability and days driven previously) to accurately assign the responsibility to a single driver.
How we built it
We first brainstormed the idea and solutions on a whiteboard and then transferred this into simple Java code. Then using Android Studio, we implemented this solution into an Android app.
Challenges we ran into
We had little to no Android Studio knowledge coming into the hackathon so we used HackGT as a means to learn more about Android Development. It was challenging to learn about the nuances of using Android Studio for the first time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Successfully transforming our simple Java program into a working Android app!!
What we learned
We learned how to use Android Studio and design principles that come with creating User Interface for a product.
What's next for Carpooling Made Easy!
In the future, we would like to expand on the app and implement the ability to plan transportation for multiple events in a single app.
