GrlPwr

Inspiration ⭐

We live in dangerous times, more and more we see that there are violent crimes taking place and more and more they seem to be directed at women. Women are being victimized in so many different aspects of life and unfortunately, it is hard for them to establish a sense of security anywhere. Women feel a sense of fear in their day-to-day lives and it is unfair for them to have to feel this way. Every day when they go to work, school, bars, clubs, the mall, and even their own cars they have to deal with a sense of fear.

Women need to learn self-defense now more than ever. Self-defense will allow women to develop confidence, it will allow them to empower themselves, and it will allow them to find safety in difficult situations. It is imperative for women to do so; they should not have to feel the way that so many of them do.

What it does ⭐

GrlPwr is targeted at women of all ages. Women can use this app to learn different self-defense moves/techniques which will help them in need. There are 3 levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and in each level, users can browse through different flashcards to see video/gif of self-defense techniques and practice those. GrlPwr also has an online store where women can buy self-defense tools/gadgets which they can carry in their backpacks/purses and make use of in need.

How we built it ⭐

We made GrlPwr with flutter, a cross-platform development framework that allows us to use the same codebase to develop apps for other platforms like Android, iOS, web, etc.

Challenges we ran into ⭐

Collaborating with teammate in different timezone was tough.

Accomplishments that we're proud of ⭐

We are proud of ourselves for finishing our project on time and submitting it to a hackathon.
