Inspiration
The ASUCD Pantry has an issue with people taking food from The Pantry and not knowing what to cook with it, so it gets discarded. This generates a lot of food waste and we wanted to solve this problem by making recipes more accessible to students.
What it does
An interactive web platform designed for UC Davis students to input their ASUCD Pantry ingredients and instantly generate accessible recipes. The app focuses on minimizing food waste by prioritizing recipes that use staples commonly found in the Pantry’s inventory.
How we built it
Backend created using Python. Front end using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Front end and back end connected using flask. Design team created layouts while the code team integrated the designs onto the website.
Challenges we ran into
We are all first-time hackers. Implementing design into code. Issues with VS Code Live Share and collaboration.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Building a running and easy-to-use website in less than 24 hours, collaborating well, visual aesthetics.
What we learned
We learned how to bounce off of each other's ideas and collaborate effectively. We also learned how to quickly solve real-world social good problems. We leaned how to design and implement a project based on the client's needs.
What's next for The Pantry Plate
