The UI design SS.
Inspiration
The project is inspired by the rising environmental crisis, and the need for innovating and aspiring technology to increase our chances of survival. Each and everyone of us is responsible for this change, and so do we hold responsibility to make a positive impact. The easiest way to make change is through planting, yet most of us are afraid to take a step fearing our inability to care for the plants. This problem has been identified and evaluated into a solution. Another anchor in the field of agriculture is the underrepresentation of women, we seek to explore opportunities where women are provided with a platform that enables them to showcase their expertise in agriculture.
What it does
Our project is a website and a UI/UX design for an application: PlantIT , the product enables a user to keep track of their plants based on the species, nutrient requirements, scheduled watering hours, using an internal counter that relays notifications on a timely basis to support the users.. The application also has a built-in store that provides suggestions for nutrients and other forms of agriculture products sold exclusively by Women run organizations.
How we built it
The website will be built on Visual Studio Code, using JavaScript and HTML5 as the primary languages, while using CSS as the framework mechanism. A HTML skeleton has been used to build the website. The UI design will be created using the Uizard platform. Media and images will be extracted from google to be used.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into the challenge of creating an Android based application, the team had enough expertise and existing code that could have guided us through the framework required for the application, but we did run into a mixture of compatibility issues, which depleted a majority of our time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The UI design was a great attachment to the website, as it enabled us to envision a future for PlantIT, it seeks to provide affirmation that our idea is more than just a vision, it’s concrete.
What we learned
We learned that hackathons work in groups to enable interactions and to share professionalism. Most IT/CS positions involve thought provoking the process and distribution of workload that fosters efficiency. This certainly has been of great experience to learn in person.
What's next for PlantIT
PlantIT could become a full scale application for both iOS and Android, it has the potential to develop into an application that manages individual plants to large scale farms. The extent of the application is unlimited as it can be scaled coherently without the constraints of location, quantity or compromised-quality. The application could also extend its reach by trying to conserve ecosystems by organizing large scale events that foster growth and responsibility for individuals actions.
