Inspiration

24% of households waste food as there is no easy way to check what's in your fridge, causing us to forget and overbuy the food. This wastes money and time, and we wanted to solve this problem with a simple solution that everyone can use.

What it does

Scanquin is a hand-held device that allows users to scan items barcodes to track household inventory. It syncs with an app that will remind you that you haven't purchased an item in some time. This ensures that you won't forget any items, reducing overbuying.

How we built it

-C++, ESP32 for the software of the Scanquin and it's dashboard -Figma for the UI of the Scanquin and it's dashboard -Rhino7 for the design of the hardware for the Scanquin -Blender to render the Scanquin

Challenges we ran into

Finding a way to log household items, while ensuring that the hardware and app can communicate.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-Coming up with a design that can work for both right and left handed users. -Creating an easy-to-see UI.
