What Is Our Carbon Footprint?
Visualization of Co2 emission
Summary
Our goal is to show how the world is changing thru out the years. We created an infograph to show how much Co2 human been emitted and we compared those values with the temperature elevation. We also linked an temperature map so people are aware of how we visualize earth thru those years.
How We Addressed This Challenge
Our hope is to make people know and interact with global warming, sharing knowledge and visualization of what is actually happening in the world.
How We Developed This Project
We found data around NASA website and we start to develop the visualization of it. Problems that we found is, since is our first hackaton and we dont have much expertise yet in IT, we struggle to figure our how to build the visualization itself. Another problem was 3 of my team mattes just didnt show up and they were going to help us to create an API to load the data. Another team matte had internet problems so just one person and I had to improvise in order to give at least a piece of what we were going to make it.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
I used many open data from NASA, from txt files with temperature data to jpeg images of earth thru out the years
