wEARTH it Environmental Personality Quiz
One of the questions for the quiz
An option for an eco-personality

Inspiration

We were inspired by our own eco-conscious daily habits. We realize it is difficult to keep track of these habits and wanted to devise a way to encourage individuals to maintain eco-friendly habits. This app seeks to do just that through an interactive and enjoyable interface.

Track

Energy and Environment Track

What it does

wEARTH it allows users to log an action/habit, which corresponds to a point value based on the sustainability of that action. Every action logged is tallied in a daily total score which users can challenge themselves and others to improve. Users are also provided with suggestions for improving their actions. Other features include an aesthetically-pleasing and clean interface, a leaderboard, progress and trends, and notifications.

How we built it

Scratch, Figma, a program that converts Scratch to HTML, a splash of creativity, and a lotta love

Challenges we ran into

None of our team members have any substantial coding experience, so we had to be resourceful in finding tools that allowed us to create the project we envisioned. We also had difficulty converting between Scratch and other file formats like html or JavaScript.

Accomplishments that we are proud of

Not only is this our first hackathon as a team, but none of our team members have experience with programming. We are extremely proud of the fact that we were able to produce an application that met the submission guidelines for this Hackathon.

What we learned

This is our first hackathon, and all members of the team had little to no coding experience prior to starting. We learned how to code through Scratch, the process of converting code between languages, and how to create an app.

What's next for wEARTH it

We are looking to further customize the recommendations by taking other input values into consideration, such as location, season, and other factors. We also hope to implement features including the leaderboard and challenges to incentivize environmentally-conscious behaviors. We have already designed an interactive environmental personality quiz (linked below as the last 3 links), and we hope to incorporate user data like this to personalize our app interface and functions.
