Shooter Alert

• 

  This is our app's interface. There are two buttons: one for just suspicious activity, and the other to report a confirmed shooter.

Inspiration

We both stay up to date with the news and were concerned with the number of school shootings that take place all over the country. We decided that we wanted to help out with this problem!

What it does

The school administrators can input the phone numbers of all of the students and faculty in their school (phone numbers can also be deleted). There are two messages: Report Suspicious Activity and Report Shooter. When either of these buttons are pressed by anyone in the phone number list, an alert is sent to the whole school with that specific message.

How we built it

We used MIT App Inventor to build our app.

Challenges we ran into

At first, we were not sure how to communicate information between screens. However, after watching tutorials on the internet, we figured it out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Neither of us were familiar with MIT App Inventor, so we were not sure if we could successfully accomplish this project. We are proud that we were able to pull it off.

What we learned

We learned valuable skills for creating an app and we learned many things about MIT App Inventor. Most of all, we learned how to work together as a team!

What's next for Shooter Alert

We created this app with the hope that we would be able to make a difference. We are looking forward to launching this app!
