How we built it

First we have designed a wireframe using Figma
We have implemented the we pages using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Flask
For the model, we gathered a dataset, trained the model using teachable machine and tensorflow.js
The model is integrated into the website

Challenges we ran into

Most of us are completely new to Flask and Figma
Challenges while implementing using Flask
Finding a dataset was difficult for the model
Integrating tensorflow.js with the application

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our major achievements included learning a new tool Figma to design our project, implementing using Flask and collaborating to work on an interesting concept to gamify practicing sustainability. Additionally, designing an innovative idea that enables one to learn things easily and retain things for longer was fascinating. Integrating the features of community-sharing, leaderboard to develop a reliable solution was one of the main achievements that our team is proud of.

What we learned

Project Management - Time management and team building.
UI - learned how to use Figma that three of us were unfamiliar with.
Collaboration - networking, challenging ourselves.
Team Management - expressing our thoughts communication, cooperation.
