Inspiration
So many people face food insecurity and so much edible food is wasted every day. What if we connected the people with food waste with people who needed food
What it does
Our website uses allows users with excess food to input what food they have available. The information is stored in a database. Users who need food can check out the database and find different foods available.
How we built it
We built our project using Wix for the base website, airtable for the database that stores the food information, javascript to connect Wix and airtable, HTML to add features, and CSS for the UX/UI design
Challenges we ran into
We ran into problems when allowing people to search through the database for food. To solve this problem, we used javascript to link airtable and our website together
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are really proud of the website we made. We think that if this is further developed it can help people who face food insecurity and reduce food waste
What we learned
We learned how to create databases and query against them. We learned SQL commands and javascript commands
What's next for Waste Not Want It
We want to create a more secure way for people to have access to food. This website does not yet have a security feature so that would be our next step
