Inspiration
All across campus and especially in the dining facilities, we recognized that some items were not being disposed of properly. This raises some sustainability issues as they eventually end up in landfills. These items take up valuable space that could otherwise be occupied by non-recyclable materials. With this problem in mind, we tasked ourselves to create an efficient solution that would combat this problem, by educating anyone and everyone about how to recycle.
What it does
It shows the user everyday household objects and lets them decide whether they should recycle, compost, or toss that object.
How we built it
The front end is hosted on a local server that can be run from your terminal. The local server is executed with django, a python framework. We wrote our own html code to format the website. The back-end was written in python using pygame. It reads from an SQL database that we wrote to hold everyday household items.
Challenges we ran into
Uploading our own images to the django server. Uploading the pygame to the django server.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of our first ever web and game design.
What we learned
We learned how to use django, html, pygame, and sql to build an interactive web app
What's next for Everyone Can Recycle
We would like to make the website public and promote the use of our website to better educate about recycling.
