Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations
Smidgen - An app to keep you up-to-date with our planet
Summary
News seem to be the most interested medium for all kind of generations and keeps them hung up while for the newer ones, they like creating and inventing stuff and try to keep it new and fresh. Our prototype will be a news platform which completely focuses on latest environment news, researches and studies and give tips to bring changes in their lifestyle which can help in sustaining our planet for our upcoming generation of prodigies. We named our web app 'smidgen' as a small change can make a big difference.
How We Addressed This Challenge
Spreading awareness to sustain our planet earth for future generation using technology. Upon reading the description of our challenge , we understood that age gap and lack of information plays a key role in environmental pollution, unawareness and lifestyle attitudes. Hence we decided to build up a platform where the younger generation and the older generation alike will be interested to use it
How We Developed This Project
Sustainability is the need of the hour. Thus the challenge immediately caught our eye and we thought we could up with a innovative solution for this. We tried to use Android Studio, Nasa APIs,
Visual Studio Code, Java ,HTML, CSS, Firebase to develop our project. For demo we used online images to demonstrate our idea. We received some problems in terms of having enough skills to actually build a working prototype since it will take time to build but we learnt a lot through this process. We got aware of innumerable issues, technical knowledge, how team leadership an management plays an important role and countless other experiences which were both fun and educational.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We tried incoroporating NASA APIs and NASA EarthData into our projects.
