Inspiration

I was inspired to create this gadget because of all of the food waste I see in my own college apartment. Often, my roommates and I will buy groceries and forget we have them. This leaves us at risk of food in our apartment going bad.

What it does

  1. Input grocery/food items into your web app with name and expiration date
  2. Internally tracks how far your food items are from expiring
  3. Through your app, lists information on

How we built it

Tech Stack: ReactJS, Flask, Arduino IDE

Challenges we ran into

Learning to use the Arduino IDE and connecting the hardware

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First solo hackathon!!

What we learned

How Arduino reads data and how to use Nominal Connects platform

What's next for Spoiler Alert

  • Adding voice/NLP integration
  • Adding AI integration to create recipes for ingredients that are going bad
