NatureScope

Inspiration

Did some volunteering with Lakeshore Preservation Party so wanted to contribute to local wildlife conservation.

What it does

It is a map tool that you use to sort by county and see user submitted sightings of plants and animals. You can also upload your own images which our web app will help identify what's in it.

How we built it

Backend is written in Python, and the frontend is a basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript stack.

Challenges we ran into

A lot of the issues we ran into was figuring out how to do the API calls and figuring out the direction we wanted to take the project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

With the finished design, it is a useable and helpful tool to see local nature.

What we learned

We learned about different AI image analysis API's and some helpful VSCode extensions that enable efficient collaboration like LiveServer and LiveShare.
