Inspiration
Our team is passionate about social justice, including human and animal rights. Through researching we discovered that every year, more than 10 million animals die from abuse in the US alone. Every 60 seconds, one animal suffers abuse. To combat this problem, we decided to build a website that would help consumers stay informed about the brands that they are buying.
What it does
Users upload an image of the brand which is scanned by an AI model and then sent to an API that we created. The brand is searched, and results on whether it is cruelty-free or not are returned to the user.
How we built it
Stay Cruelty Free is built by a team of four high school students using many languages as well as an API and an AI model.
Challenges we ran into
Time was definitely a struggle. Another challenge was getting our AI model to be able to search through the API.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating an API and AI model from scratch!
What we learned
How to make and train an AI model.
What's next for Stay Cruelty Free
We would like to broaden our reach by also showcasing what brands use child labor to create their products.
