Inspiration
To empower people with data to bring change to their community
What it does
We have created a petition program for communities to express their concerns about local climate influencers and heat stresses. We did this in 3 distinct key parts to leverage the advantages of different technologies. We first start with a detailed sampling of the local climate with the data provided by envirolabs which we apply image processing and statistical analysis to provide key temperature features of the local environment which is done in matlab. We then parse the key outliers with the Google Places API and the Gemini API to retrieve the closest infrastructure to our outliers and identify possible causes for their effects, practical solutions, and return that data formatted as a JSON file. the final step is creating a user-friendly interface to encourage community action. The backend takes the NetCDF file and returns a list of Heat stressors to the environment which can be seen as these coordinates. These coordinates are then parsed by a python script to investigate the Heat stressors. This will return the following Json file. The front end then only interacts with the json file to set up an interface
How we built it
We built it using google gemini, matlab, and firebase
Challenges we ran into
Debugging was a major challenge that we ran into
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The fact that we could finish on time.
What we learned
How important api keys are in coding websites and applications.
What's next for LocalVoice
For the future we can expand the program to provide larger coverage, better analysis, and promotion of our platform.
