I Need To Touch Grass

Inspiration

This year's theme was nostalgia, and in an urban environment like Toronto, I often find myself missing the greenspace I grew up with.

What it does

I Need To Touch Grass allows users to quickly and easily find various natural areas near them, as well as pictures and directions.

How I built it

I used the Google Maps API to generate a list of nearby natural areas based on user input, pandas to sort and visualize the data, and Django to create a user interface.

Challenges I ran into

My teammate was unfortunately in the hospital, so I had to do it myself, which was difficult. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to, but I'm proud of what I did accomplish.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was my first time using an API, and it was also my first time doing Python full-stack development! I'm proud of myself for learning Django on the job.
