Inspiration

We were inspired by fitness apps that motivate people through points and rewards. We saw an opportunity to apply this concept to environmental cleanup!

What it does

PickIt is a gamified hiking app that encourages eco-friendly behavior. Hikers scan trash they find on trails, earning points based on the environmental impact of collecting the item. They compete with others in their community for the most points and prizes.

How we built it

We built PickIt using Reflex, a new framework for us. This presented a learning curve, but we pushed through to create the app.

Challenges we ran into

One big challenge was developing a system to score trash based on its ecological impact. We researched different types of waste and their environmental effects to guide a scoring system within the app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're most proud of creating a user-friendly and fun app that promotes positive environmental change. It's exciting to see people using gamification to contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet.

What we learned

We learned a new framework (Reflex) and the importance of research in creating an impactful scoring system for different types of trash.

What's next for PickIt

We're excited to further develop PickIt by making trash collection even more engaging! Imagine scanning trash and seeing it transform into a fun cartoon character. We're also exploring ways to make collected trash tradable between users.
