Inspiration: My inspiration for this project was when my maternal Grandma was attacking by a dog in the street while she was walking, and this moment and the stress it created within my family was my inspiration for this project.
What it does: This project plans routes for seniors to go on walks to be fit. It makes it easier for senior citizens to go on walks, and it also gives them any miscellaneous data about their activity, such as the distance traveled, and calories burned.
How we built it: I built this using HTML, CSS, and JS for the website.
Challenges we ran into: I ran into various challenges including a financial barrier for some of the APIs I attempted to use, I lacked the JavaScript knowledge to code some parts of the website, so I had to learn new JavaScript concepts.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: I am proud of the use of the HERE API to trace out a route specifically for pedestrians and the use of the navigator.geolocation method in JavaScript.
What we learned: I learned various new JavaScript concepts for the creation of my project
What's next for Michael Fine's Walk Planner: The implementation of a login screen, and a backend database to allow for scaling for multiple users, in the deployment phase the personal API keys that I used should also be censored, I also plan to use ML concepts to trace out a loop for seniors to walk in their surroundings that approximately corresponds to a distance value that the senior enters (This is how much they would like to walk ex: 2.5km). I also want to reference the addresses along the seniors' routes with Google maps reviews to keep them safe from harm and modifying their route to circumvent the dangerous area if possible.
