Inspiration
Protecting the environment should be at the top of everyone's priority, so we want to get more people to live an eco friendler life. Gamifying the whole thing and making people compete with their friends is a fun way to do good and build healthy habits.
What it does
Our app checks in with you weekly, asking you what (preselected) steps you took in the last week that are beneficial for nature and awards you with points: the more you do, the more you get. You can gain more by completing randomly chosen weekly challenges. Aditionally you can compare your progress to that of your friends.
How we built it
We built a html web page, with a java back-end.
Challenges we ran into
It took some time to find the right idea to tackle, but once we agreed on a project, most went smoothly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Coming up with an interesting idea, finding a good team to work on it and preparing a prototype.
What we learned
Small things can sometimes take more time than anticipated, especially with little experience in the concrete area.
What's next for Healthy Earth - Gamifying environmentalism
A logical next step would be to develop the app further than just the demo stage, and making it available to mobile devices.
