Inspiration
When we were looking at the different tracks, one thing that really stood out to us was the Origin Story track, as we wanted to solve a problem that we personally connected to and understood. When we thought about potential ideas, we decided to settle on the problem of school lunches, as we found that school lunches were often underwhelming and did not taste good.
What it does
At the home page, students can select what school they are from, and then they can fill out a survey about the meal that they got in school and what they thought about it. Every week, it sends an e-mail to the administrator of the school with an AI-powered summary of the responses to show school administrators what parts of their lunch are good and what parts need to be replaced.
How we built it
We used Firebase to store the responses of users, and then we used Node.js to connect out JavaScript to the Firebase database and send emails. We also employed a Gemini API key to summarize the text.
Challenges we ran into
It was hard to retrieve all the data from Firebase and use it to make an e-mail, so we had to figure out exactly how to get the info from the database and convert it into a format where it can be sent in an e-mail.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we were able to use Node.js, Firebase, and Gemini API keys effectively in achieving the final desired result for our project.
