Inspiration
Many of our group members work in the retail and food services industry, and were disturbed about the amount of waste produced, regardless of the company's PR on environmental and socioeconomic policies.
What it does
It allows employees of a company to take a survey and rate the company's commitment to environmental/socioeconomic best practices.
How we built it
It takes an excel spreadsheet from a company with user ID, name, and birthday, converts it to a Json file, which can then be parsed by Java to ensure the user is employed by the company. If confirmed, the User can then take a survey wherein they rate their company's envirionmental/social practices. A new Json file is made which contains the ID number and score of the User; if the User tries to redo the survey, the Json file is replaced.
Challenges we ran into
Converting an Excel spreadsheet to a parseable Json file
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having completed our first Hackathon!
What we learned
How to manipulate Json objects and arrays, how to read files, project management
What's next for EnviroCheck
Creating a server which can group all surveys, so we can get an accurate average of multiple employees through a single company.
