Inspiration
Our inspiration comes from the idea of helping college students in maintaining their financial well-being by taking care of their expenditures wisely.
What it does
Our application takes in the details of the student and his expenditure and checks whether he is spending wisely. If he does, he is given 'fluffy' coins. There is a leaderboard of the students to see how they compare with other students. They can redeem the fluffy coins in entertainment places who are tied up with us like a cinema hall, opera etc. If they spend lesser than the estimated amount for entertainment, they get more fluffy coins.
How we built it
We built it using Android studio and cloud firestore.
Challenges we ran into
The major challenge was to develop a mechanism of generating the right amount of fluffy coins and the generation of a unique QR code every time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are happy that we have been able to produce an idea that could help students in saving the money and is especially useful during this time of the pandemic. We are definitely proud of the QR code feature as well as the leaderboard functionality. The QR code that is generated is unique as it combines the Cloud Firestore ID of the company and the current time stamp to give a unique QR code each time the "generate QR code" button is clicked.
What we learned
We have definitely learnt a lot during this hackathon. We have understood that it takes a good amount of communication skills in order to get the businesses to involve in the project and to motivate the students to save their money. Gamifying the way of saving the money, is a motivating factor for most of the students.
What's next for Spend Mine
Spend Mine would display graphs of the expenditures of the students and tie up with online payment applications like Paypal in order to directly track the amount spent by a student. We would also provide personalised recommendations to the users as to which entertainment location is suitable for them according to their budget/expenditure.
