Inspiration
To raise awareness and funds for The Climate Express, specifically for the Ghana pilot project this year.
What it does
Website: share the journey of The Climate Express, raise awareness of climate change, encourage donations and engagement through our ambassadorship program App: records the progress of the fundraising campaign, allows users to donate to have their name attached to a segment of the journey for the life of The Climate Express project, tracks the journey of each bus on a map
How I built it
Website: Using Wix App: Using Heroku as deploying platform, MeteorJS, MongoDB and JavaScript for language.
Challenges I ran into
Constrained time, errors and technical issues with app development led to a simplified version of our original idea. Design limitations on the website were also an issue.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The whole thing :) Exceeding our initial goal of creating a staff portal through our website to streamline our communication process provides for image sharing and a simplified platform. We further extended our approach in developing a real-time mapping system that allows users to join the journey of the Climate Express and purchase kilometers to finance the trip. The map represents users who have funded portions of the trip and highlights their name as contributors to The Climate Express journey (our research suggested that our target audience Millenials are concerned with their image)
What I learned
Teamwork makes the dream work. We learned the power of connecting cultures, fields and backgrounds.
What's next for The Climate Express
With the fundraising campaign, we hope to raise at least $5000 through the website and app to finance our pilot project in Ghana. We're now looking to assemble our team of experts for the pilot.
