Inspiration
After doing some research, me and my partner found out that 530,000 TONS of food and 45 MILLION gallons of milk are wasted every year from school. We realized through our own experience in school that it was due to the fact that schools automatically give you portions, and it may be too much or too little for someone. This led to the FlexPlate
What it does
Our platform prototype is an app or website where students can select their portion sizes based off what they want and send their order to the kitchen.
How we built it
We used Flask to develop the website and backend through python, and we got help from online resources to learn how to code in HTML for the front end.
Challenges we ran into
We are beginners to code, so we had to do a lot of research and get help from our parents to learn how to do this project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of getting through the obstacles and learning how to code.
What's next for FlexPlate
We hope to continue working on it and make it a functional app.
