Why does living a sustainable lifestyle have to be so boring?
I mean, we all know that helping out the environment is increasingly important, but picking up trash isn't exactly exciting. But what if we borrowed concepts from the world of gaming to make sustainability fun?
What it does
EcoHero is an app that promotes a sustainable lifestyle and positive environmental action. The app incentivizes these habits by presenting them as a game rather than tedious chores.
How we built it
EcoHero was built on Android Studio using XML for UI and Java for backend.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I think the UI of this app looks really nice, at least by my capabilities. I'm not really familiar with graphic design, but it is an exciting field that I want to learn more about.
What we learned
I learned how to structure and design an app to align with Google's new material design guidelines.
What's next for EcoHero:
I want to finish and release EcoHero, and with the help of the Bloom Institute, build an active community around it.
