NAVIGATE-19

Inspiration

Most schools and universities have implemented inefficient contact tracing systems, causing difficulties for both students and teachers.

What it does

The NAVIGATE-19 app has compiled the best of all worlds, allowing ease and proficiency for users; accurate contact tracing data through location tracking, and easy access for teachers to the class database to check for potential risks in the classroom.

How we built it

Using flutter, figma, and various google cloud APIs, we were able to create NAVIGATE-19.

Challenges we ran into

Programming errors are a programmer's nemesis; the same applies to us. Because we had never had experience implementing location tracking, this was something we had issues with. In addition with two people working on the coding aspect, we ran into merge conflicts and dependency-related issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of ourselves for creating a working app that can be beneficial on a large-scale for countries/individuals who have failed to effectively contact trace in the past.

What we learned

We've developed various skills throughout the hackathon, some of which include teamwork, programming in new languages, and the process to building an app.

What's next for NAVIGATE-19

With countless ideas for future features and updates, we are excited to continue building NAVIGATION-19. We hope to advance features such as contact tracing by providing live updates of public areas with positive cases. We're also looking to implement our design draft of creating an analytics page that presents the user with weekly updates, which would also be beneficial for schools who can get a visual representation of their current situation.
