EcoConnect

Inspiration

While recruiting volunteers for a conservation project, we realized that many students don't have a reliable of finding projects where they can volunteer their time and learn new skills.

How we built it

Figma, Typescript, MongoDB, and a lot of coffee!!

Challenges we ran into

It took a lot longer than expected to convert our Figma design files to Nunjucks and SCSS

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We maintained good code quality despite being pressured by time.

What we learned

We learned and honed our time management skills during this hackathon. We effectively collaborated with one another to real a common goal. We also adapted to pressure and innovatively created different strategies to help out our community. And lastly, we honed our presentations and communications skills while building connections to one another through the hardships we faced together.
