Inspiration
From my sustainability major and after going on a Recology tour where I got to talk to their workers, thanks to my university, I understood the importance of correctly disposing of your garbage to help it actually get recycled. Therefore with this project, I am to enhance sustainability through Pepsi's global value Chain by promoting Consumer recycling, mainly directed at the youth
What it does
Using image recognition encourages people to recycle more
How we built it
Using Thunkable to create the app by the blocks and including image recognition and the maps API by Google.
Challenges we ran into
My team member left due to other responsibilities, which made it hard for me as I do not have app development experience, and I was more focused on the research part at the beginning, so I had to use thunkable for easier development of the app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the image recognition to work on the app.
What we learned
How to use APIs on thunkable, a lot about recycling, its importance, the different materials, and how they are recycled.
What's next for Pepsicycle
Complete the app development part by adding the challenges, and the correct map signaling the correct direction to the correct trash bin.
