TraCed

As high school students, we wanted to create a solution for the problem that troubles the modern world. TraCed uses a two-pronged approach to prevent and react to COVID cases. We used a multitude of softwares to put our project together including Android Studio (Java), Figma, Gsuite, python, the command line, and Atom. We took inspiration from Google and Apple’s contact tracing API in order to develop certain aspects of our app. We used our prior knowledge from CS classes but this wasn’t enough for all aspects of the app. We discussed our ideas with a mentor and learned about many app-development concepts over the course of this hackathon. Although we ran into challenges, we overcame them by thinking together and getting advice from mentors. Extensive collaboration with peers while developing skills in wireframing, API integration, app development and ideation allowed the team to solve real-world problems in our exciting first hackathon! We plan on improving our app to add functionality and provide access on all platforms. We are grateful for this opportunity to compete and hope to compete again in the future!
