Inspiration

With climate change causing more forest fires, we wanted to create an engaging app to promote wildlife conservation. GreenerMiles encourages outdoor exploration through a point-based game system. By completing activities and growing their virtual plant, users may become more aware of nature and want to take action to protect wildlife and their habitats.

What it does

GreenerMiles lists parks across Canada and suggests activities like hiking, birdwatching, and clean-up efforts. Users earn points by completing activities, which they can use to grow and nurture a virtual plant.

How we built it

We used React Native to build the app and a database to store the park locations so that users can see them when searching for them.

Challenges we ran into

  • Connecting the app with a Firebase database

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • To have the plants show different phases as it is given more food and wilt over time as well.

What we learned

We learned how to design and develop a functional app

What's next for GreenerMiles

  • Connect it to a database and implement a user sign-up/log-in page to store user information.
