Safety Tracker

This safety tracker allows for parents to know that their kid is safe without the use of a phone. When your child goes somewhere, we'll check on them and if they don't respond, we'll notify you!

Inspiration

Safety of kids is the utmost importance to a parent, whether the kid is going to the library, heading to a friend's house, or simply going out to the park. However, without a parent's guidance and supervision, kids can easily get lost, hurt, or in trouble, without anyone knowing if he or she is alright or not. This inspired us to make a website which can notify a parent if their kid isn't responding to make sure that he or she is safe.

What it does

This website promotes children security and make sure that parents know their child's whereabouts and situation without adult supervision. It allows a parent and child to create accounts, in which the parent can track the details of the child and make sure that he or she is safe. When the child walks, drives, or bikes alone, they log into the website with their destination and when they think they'll arrive. If the child doesn't respond in the given time that they said they would, the website will notify the parent and the child to make sure he or she is safe.

How we built it

To build the website, we used an editor called CodeSandbox and used programming languages such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Libraries such as Twilio and React were also used. We first created a homepage and linked the homepage to several buttons (about, sign up, and login). These buttons linked to the corresponding pages and allowed for users to sign up or login.

Challenges we ran into

  • Creating the login and signup forms
  • Using Twilio to allow for notifications to be sent to the parent
  • Linking buttons to pages

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Working together as a team
  • Spending so much time coding together, for this project
  • Attending this hackathon (first for some of us)
  • Developing our coding and web design skills
  • Aashi and Suchita learning to use Git and GitHub for the first time!! We didn't end up using it for the final project, but Kira is very proud :)

What we learned

  • How to work with Twilio and CodeSandbox
  • Further developing our coding skills
  • How to fix our errors, webdesign

What's next for Safety Tracker

  • Fixing/finishing our previous problems (Twilio notification)
  • Adding a tracker
