Inspiration

In sixth grade, I had to read an article in my Language Arts class on food miles! After reading the article, I realized how urgent of a problem this is and shared this with my teammate. Climate Change is only getting worse, so we want to do our best to try to stop it, and the first step towards that is implementing solutions in our local area. By creating this app, we hope that we can spread the information people need to know to be able to reduce their carbon footprint.

What it does

This app tells you the produce that is available in California during different months of the year. People can use this information to make sure they are buying locally and doing everything they can to stop Climate Change.

How we built it

We used a free app maker platform called Mobiroller. As both my teammate and I don't have much previous coding experience, we decided to use Mobiroller because it involves minimal coding. Unfortunately, we did not get to use much HTML in this app, but with more time, we hope to expand our app with features created using HTML.

Challenges we ran into

Finding a platform that required minimal coding, as we have minimal coding experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we were able to generate a loose idea of what we want our final app to look like, especially since this is the first app we have ever tried making.

What we learned

We learned a lot about food miles and foods that are available local by season in California. Additionally, we learned about the basics of app design and what we could do in the future to expand on what we already have created.

What's next for MyFoodMiles App

We hope to bring custom features involving HTML to our app and make the layout more user-friendly. We also hope to expand our database to include produce for different states and regions! So far, the app is also only available on Android devices, but in the future we hope to make it available for iOS devices as well.
