Inspiration
Our inspiration came from our java class when we made the program "Whirligig.java". Our program is based off of this as multiple slides do different things just like that of Whirligig.java. Each person makes 1-2 slides.
What it does
This program uses multiple buttons and textviews in android studio to acknowledge certain life hacks. Of these some include: Knowing what to do in case of drowning, or
How I built it
Use multiple buttons and textviews in a android studio.

Inspiration
We were initially inspired by Uber’s goal to connect strangers in a positive way to allow win-win scenarios for both strangers involved in the “transaction”. We wanted to help users overcome everyday roadblocks from getting their A/C repaired, to helping them make lunch with the help of a cook, to even a garden renovation. Not only do users overcome their difficulty, but the helping party also gets benefited with cash. We wanted users to help each other in their corresponding community while benefiting from their dues.
What it does
Website
The website primarily serves as an information site currently. It contains an ‘about’ section, which provides steps on how to use the app, a ‘team’ page, which explains which people worked on what aspect of the product, and a ‘contact’ page, where a user can send us an email directly from the site.
App
The app connects people who are looking for others to help them in a variety of tasks. All users must first create an account and confirm authentication. Then, users who are looking for help can view annotations specially configured to their community. They can see what tasks people are willing to do for them and the cost of it. If the user is looking to find work, they can fill out a form consisting of what they will be doing and the price of it. Their request for work will promptly show up on the map and if anyone is willing to start a deal with them or has any questions, they can message them.
How we built it
Website
The website was hand-coded in HTML (used to design the structure of the site), CSS (styling and colors), and JavaScript (smooth animations/transitions). Alongside these languages, libraries from W3Schools, and AOS (animation on scroll) were implemented. All of these featured combined, alongside crafty fonts, logo design, and innovative images led to the creation of the website.
App
We used MapKit to show user location along with annotations of nearby help and FirebaseAuth to create accounts and manager user information. We used FirebaseCloudStore to keep track of most of the data, from creating annotations with user locations and information, to create the private, customized, realtime chat room between the worker and the “employer”. We used a slew of other APIs to provide a better user experience with the chat logs and interactions.
Challenges we ran into
Website
While developing the website, our main difficulty was formatting. One small misplacement of a block would severely affect the layout of the entire page. Also, we had to create the site in such a way that it would look aesthetically pleasing on any platform (desktop, tablet, or mobile). Coming up with a clean color scheme, and relaxing fonts was an interesting obstacle. We had to understand which combinations of colors and fonts would look the most sophisticated, and we eventually decided to stick a simple black & white theme. Lastly, the most difficult bug were the animations. It required importing multiple libraries, and correctly implementing them. Small typos would result in the program not running which was definitely a huge annoyance.
App
Creating a completely customized chat between two people involved in the “transaction” proved to be quite difficult because the chat had to be something that only those two distinct users could access. This problem took us multiple hours to solve, and we ended up building a complex algorithm to solve this issue. Other problems we faced included creating custom, personalized annotations and creating an algorithm to personalize the annotations on a community basis for the user’s unique location.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are extremely proud that we were not only able to create a working application, but develop it for iOS, AND produce a beautiful website. We overcame numerous obstacles, and are so content that we were able to surpass all of them. Some of our team members learnt completely new languages from scratch, while others were educated upon functionalities from the web. Overall, it was a great experience, and we are proud that we had an amazing time, and created a functional iOS app, and a website.
What we learned
Through this hackathon, we learnt the importance of teamwork. To have multiple people working on the same product can be very frustrating. However, we came up with an organized plan, persevered through the entire night, overcame our differences, and pushed out an application. Alongside this, we learnt numerous new aspects of computer science that will definitely help us in our future careers. From learning new languages, to intense debugging, we encountered so many positive experiences that were truly beneficial.
What's next for WorkWheel
First, our main goal is to fully complete the WorkWheel iOS app. We shall add search filters, distance and route planning, as well as in-app transactions to provide the best experience for our users. Once we sophisticate this, we will expand the app towards Android and the Web in order to have a huge cross-platform society. As our product grow bigger, we will create better authentication and security features to guarantee that our app is entirely a safe community. Ultimately, we wish to release the application globally, so that the entire world can enjoy WorkWheel!

What is ShopTime
How does it work
When we got the topic "Life Hacks," we decided we wanted to tackle a problem that was relevant to all of us on the team. We picked the topic of solving the issue of shopping lists with missing items. We used Android Studio to build an app that would take the name of a certain item and how long it would be until the user would have to buy the item again. At that time, they would be notified to buy the specific item. We ran into challenges as we first tried to use X-Code and Swift in order to create our app but we were unsuccessful in this attempt. For most of our team, this is our first hackathon and first app and we are very proud of that accomplishment. We have learned how Android Studio as a whole has started to work. We hope to improve on this app as time progresses to make it much more successful.

We wanted to prevent the accidents and deaths falling asleep at critical times causes.
What it does
Notifies you with a large sound when you are asleep on webcam so that you can go back to working.
How we built it
We used Flask to run Python code on the web. We trained a model with Keras and saved it as an h5 file. We used OpenCv to locate the person's eyes and then fed them through this neural network to determine if they were asleep.
Challenges we ran into
It was hard to get constant pictures from the video stream and integrate Flask with the website.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we got it all to work and that we made something that is useful in the real world.
What we learned
We learned about Flask, Keras, and webcam usage in HTML and Javascript.

8,032 | https://devpost.com/software/quickshopr | Inspiration
We were disappointed and somewhat frustrated that when we see a cool style out on the street, we had no way to find that outfit online without googling for hours on end. To remedy this inconvenience, we decided to make a fashion assistant that can do just that: redirect people to the site where the outfit could be found with ease.
What it does
It uses the device's camera in detecting the outfit that a person is wearing. Then the app redirects, within the app, to the webpage where the outfit could be purchases/found.
How I built it
We used the Swift language in Xcode to build the iOS app. Along with the swift backend, we also used CoreML, Vision, and Firebase to track the data of the outfits and storing it into an online database, where it could be accessed any time. We used Machine Learning and Vision to detect the outfit and map the trend of distinguishing between certain brands of clothes.
Challenges I ran into
Using WebKit in our app as it is fairly difficult to implement along with debugging our app
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Our app finally worked in the end and we were very excited that our idea has never been replicated or created by anyone. We are proud of being a pioneer in the fashion assistant space.
What I learned
Implementing WebKit in our app and learning the ins and outs of it, as it was the first time we have used it in our apps.
What's next for QuickShopr
We hope to release our app to the App Store in hope of creating a fashion assistant that can help many others find the right style or dress they so desired at first glance at a person in real-life. Also, implementing our fashion assistant into Siri or Google Assistant

Inspiration
One of our group members thought it would be convenient to have reminders of when to take or apply prescription medicines. They also had bad experiences with expired medicines and thought there should be some way to scan the bottle to check in case there wasn't an expiry date on it.
What it does
Pharma uses a QR Code Scanner to scan a bottle of medicine and retrieves the data about the medicine, such as the flavor, dose strength, and type of medicine.
How we built it
We used a website to format our screens and coded it in swift.
Challenges we ran into
Making a solid decision on what type of life hack we wanted to do and how to go forward with it
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We pulled together a solid idea and implemented different features to make it a fully useful app that has all the features one with prescription medications might need.
What we learned
How to make an understandable and easy-to-use user interface.
What's next for Pharma
Enhancing the overall aesthetic of the app and the QR Scanner so it works efficiently. Tabs may also need to be changed in order for an easier user interface.

BPlus is a mobile app that uses image recognition to save money when buying books. After scanning the cover of any book, the app will bring up some basic info as well as the retail price at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The Amazon and B&N icons will take you directly to the website where you can purchase the book.
How I built it
Used a modified version of ARCore for image recognition. Loaded the trained model into the app to use. App functionality was in Java, the UI was done in XML.
Challenges I ran into
Getting the app to recognize and use the Tensorflow model. Spent too much time trying to fix it, ended up switching strategies and re-purposed the ARCore API to do image recognition

8,032 | https://devpost.com/software/kollegekitty | Inspiration
We are upcoming college freshmen. We realize that moving away from our parents will present unique struggles. We found a simple and fun solution - life hacks!
What it does
Our app consists of three main panels - "Random", "Discover", and "Favorites". The Random page provides new life hacks generated by a randomization algorithm for a daily tip. The Discover page breaks down college life into 7 main categories for the user to pick from - classes, dorm life, travel/transport, food, sleep, networking, and budgeting. The Favorites tab allows the user to save hacks for later use.
How I built it
We created KollegeKitty on XCode using the Swift language. Our process consisted of ideation, screen building, coding, and debugging/testing.
Challenges I ran into
Our primary obstacle was saving hacks into the Favorites tab from our Random and Discover pages.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of our code's efficiency and reusability and our simple, user-friendly design.
What I learned
We further learned about the development process and debugging code. We practiced organizing our code into classes and simple functions.
What's next for KollegeKitty
We plan on further developing KollegeKitty by integrating API's and generate fresh life hacks for our college users!

Hack Page
Inspiration
Everyone has hit a
stressful
point in their life before.
Once in a while, everyone needs to
de-stress
themselves and make themselves
happier
That's why,
Happy Hacks
is here to help. :)
What it does
Happy Hacks is an interactive app that presents fun, stress-free life hacks to allow you to lead a
happier
life!
How we built it
We started out tossing out ideas randomly, from thinking of a simple app just displaying life hacks, to categorizing life hacks, to finding a root cause on what specific types of life hacks we wanted to find.
We started out planning the layout using Justinmind prototyping, and trying to figure out which button would lead to which page and do what function.
We then started coding it up in Eclipse, using Java. We programmed multiple classes that represented different pages in our app. For the layouts of our page, we manipulated the layouts by using layouts in layouts, so we could figure out where all of our buttons and images were on the page without physically counting the pixels.
Challenges we ran into
We spent a long time deciding which application to use to code up our app (pure Java in Eclipse, Javascript + HTML + CSS in jsfiddle, etc.) We essentially tried each one, and agreed to use Eclipse.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Since we spent a lot of time figuring out what to do and how, we didn't end up having a lot of time left to complete it. Therefore, we are proud that we truly did get the whole thing finished, including a prototype!
What we learned
We learned a lot through this hackathon, from collaborating on ideas to working together to coding a project up, we learned how to work with one another and also learned how to divide/share the work.
What's next for Test
If we had more time in the hackathon, we would want to have a cleaner GUI, a greater compilation of life hacks, as well as more life hack categories. As for more long-term goals (tasks not being able to do in this hackathon), we would want to find a platform that would allow us to publish our app and users to download it. This way, we would be able to spread more happiness! :)

Final
Inspiration
We always had a habit of procrastinating and taking too long on tasks, so we made something that could help us and hopefully other people to finish, providing them plenty of time to finish other important things.
What it does
After a few tasks to train the machine learning model, the app will tell you how long a certain task will take - customized to your usual efficiency.
How I built it
Since we only had a 2 person team this hackathon, we decided to split up - one of use handling the UI, and the other the actual machine learning. We made progress on a UI, and had a completed, working, tensorflow model.
Challenges I ran into
We were unable to complete the UI, since this was our first hackathon, we had a 2 person team, and there were many different technical difficulties. Integrating the tensorflow model also proved itself to be difficult, especially since a mentor said that none of them knew how to do it with android studio.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We feel like we did fairly well for our first hackathon, especially dealing with the fact that two of our members were unable to attend. We are also proud of the fact that we learned how to create a working tensorflow model in a short amount of time.
What I learned
Some things we learned are that it is very important to brainstorm early and efficiently to leave as much time as possible for the actual "hacking" portion. Next time, however, we will be attending with more than 2 people, and hence will be able to get work done.
What's next for EfficiencyMaxx
Even though the hackathon itself may be over, we hope to be able to expand more on our app, finish it, and add more to it in the future.

8,032 | https://devpost.com/software/noter-as8l9r | Inspiration
We first started by thinking of what defines a life hack. Anything that makes life easier or cut or is done for you seems like a life hack. We first thought of a music sheet composer. It would turn any music into musical notes. Not only did this already exist, it did not make life easier. We realized that people read articles near everyday. They don’t want to read everything, but want important details and the general idea.
What it does
Takes notes on the files given. Keeps important information. Removes unnecessary information. Creates instant notes of any text.
How we built it
We coded the program using Java. We used the Apache NPLT API to do natural language processing. Our first step was to analyze how a normal human being takes notes. Afterwards, we tried to mimic that same thinking by the computer.
Challenges we ran into
Finalizing the idea. How to define important sentences. Finding frequencies of words in a String. Setting up the Natural Language API on eclipse.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having a full and presentable project was one of the biggest accomplishment which were the result of other small achievements.
What we learned
Patience was one of the biggest things we learned. Without patience a group is frustrated and is on the edge of a waterfall. Because one wrong move could lead to destruction. In terms of coding, we learned how to use the Natural Language Processing API.

8,032 | https://devpost.com/software/price-predictor | Inspiration
We realized that we were getting scammed on Amazon for certain products that we wanted because when we looked at the changes in price over a month or 3 months, we would see that the prices fell by as much as $5 or $6 from the average. We wanted to figure out if there is a way to predict price movements based on the price history of the product in order to save money.
What it does
Price Predictor takes in an Amazon link, finds a price chart associated with the product corresponding to that link, and uses LSTM, a recurrent neural network, on the price chart data to predict the price of the product a week later.
How we built it
We used Heroku and Flask to host our model and website, and Python to create the neural network.
Challenges we ran into
Getting Flask and Heroku to work together, and getting the model onto the Heroku platform
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting a functional website that can perform the train and prediction operations on price history data
What we learned
How to use Flask and Heroku

Sai's dad is an active peaceful protestor who fights for human rights and farmer equality in India. he organized many events but, had difficulty getting his message out. Our website aims to solve that problem and to help you streamline your event for the best experience possible.
What it does
Assists you creating new events and helps you browse other events, the website allows and gives you many tools to streamline your event such as having an easy way to email protesters with a single click of a button. The website also features a good UI design bound to attract future protesters.
Integrated Google Maps API was a feature we worked on for some part of the hackathon but ultimately could not get this feature to work completely, because this feature uses geocodes to create a drawable google map and allows the organizer to draw on it. The serialization of the google map was the part that we could not really achieve.
How we built it
Our website was built with primarily javascript and HTML. Outside assets from html5up.com were used in order to make a decent looking website in the given period of time. Firebase was primarily used for website->database interactions. The database was loaded with data from the website itself. APIs were used for some maps calculations for statistics. We first attempted to use Xcode to make our app, but we soon realized that justinmind was more appropriate for our project and was more aligned with our program and skills.
Challenges we ran into
The main issue we had was our APIs firebase/google map not working properly. Debugging for web development isn't easy and I'm not too experienced in the field but in the future, I do see myself learning from this. The website was hard because of its unusual start and end points(the code would run in weird steps like start at some last line etc). The google calendar API was not easy to implement and ultimately a very rudimentary implementation is there on the website. We initially intended to use maps in a more fully fledged way but the weird HTML format and JQuery knowledge required ultimately prevented us.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were happy that we made a website and app that has a nice interface and a good looking design. As Aadithya and I ( Krish ) have never made an app before, this was a learning experience. We also learned quite a bit about web development.
What we learned
We are proud of making something in 24ish hours, additionally, we are proud of it a potential big use to the community. The website also has massive areas for improvement we see this as a positive as there is something we can always add. I(Krish) am proud of learning web more and am sure this knowledge will be useful when college time comes. I(Muthu) am an amateur at hackathons have attended the workshops and learned from others. I(sai), an experienced coder, helped my teammates and learned some more web development in the process.
What's next for Walk N Out
We hope to fix the google maps system that we use for drawing events. Additionally, we also wish to implement a sign on system via firebase authentication for the website as we did not have time for these features and we see them as being necessary next steps if we wanted to continue our app.

Inspiration
Living within the Era of Technology, it is not always an easy task to find the result you wanted to seek due to the overflowing of information that is poorly filtered by search engines. When it comes to the case of looking for life hacks, 8 out of 10 hacks aren't even relatable to our daily needs. In order to improve the efficiency of retrieving desirable life hack results, our team is inspired to create a website that helps other people to find the hack they wanted. From there, we created Lifers101.
What it does
Lifers101 is a platform for sharing and customizing life hacks to increase the efficiency of one's daily life. After signing up and becoming an official "lifer", the user can freely browse any posted life hacks. We feature text search so it makes a lifer a lot easier to find a life hack he or she needs. If a lifer finds a hack that he or she really likes, then they can add it to their own dictionary and save it for later use. If a lifer figured out a new hack, he or she can also contribute to the community by posting their brilliant idea on our website for other lifers to check out.
Lifers101 will occasionally organize events named "lifathons," in which people can meet up and talk about their special life hacks or even come up with new ones. Anther events called "hackammunity" is a event where lifers in a neighborhood can meet up together and collaborate on neighborhood projects and hacks.
Another special feature of our website is its user-friendly admin portal. The admin portal allows lifers101 administrators to supervise and manage the lifers' community easily.
After all, Lifers101 is a "big hack" for people to find smaller life hacks. And the organization of these smaller hacks by our big hack can make people's life a lot simpler and easier.
How we built it
We used MEAN stack template and npm tool 'mean-rest-angular-cli' to create our stunning and innovational website. We also used bootstrap templates to create buttons and other details of our website. We created two front-ends: the public front end and the admin front end, which both connects to the same server and Mongo database, which we created on mLab. After hours of exploration and collaboration, we finally built our amazing website.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge was routing the numerous models we have. Other minor issues including user sign in and git syncing code with conflict. Nevertheless, we resolved all of the conflicts after research and learning.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of our website's design, functionality, and the ease to use, including the potential lifer and administrators' user experiences. We are also very proud of our ability to overcome numerous difficulties along our way. However, the accomplishment we are most proud of is our ability to come up with a practical idea that helps people to "hack" their life and make their every day easier.
What we learned
We learned how to manage complex webpage management and routing, and how to collaborate with each other efficiently on GitHub. We also learned how to use various angular and bootstrap tools to beautify a website. Most importantly, this hackathon bonded our team and made us understand that teamwork can always lead to success.
What's next for Lifers 101
Since we do not have much time today during the hackathon, we are not able to include some features lifers101 needs; such as upload images and add location information for lifathons. In the future, we will include more features into lifers101 to make this "big hack" even bigger and help more people with their everyday life.

It came about when we realized that was difficult to keep up with things relating to school, partly due to a lack of centralization in the process of how things are discussed. We then thought about how everyone has google assistant on their phone and how useful it would be to be able to just talk to google assistant and get all the information and forms the same way you would order a pizza through the medium.
What it does
It connects with a backend fulfillment api and allows students to join a school on our service and then once they do, they can directly ask google assistant things like, "what's the schedule for this week" or "Are there any updates" and Google assistant would automatically fetch the relevant data from the api and deliver it in a clear and elegant format.
How we built it
We used dialogflow and actions with Google while also hosting the backend fulfillment on a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. We then created a system similar to oauth in which the voice assistant will give the user a code that they can use on the site to link their account to their voice assistant. This allows for a more personalized experience as we can then keep track of the user's school and relevant information as they ask for other things.
Challenges we ran into
It was difficult to get rich responses out of Google Assistant because we weren't familiar with the JSON based fulfillment system, but eventually after lots of failed attempts and incremental learnination, we finally figured out how to make the responses look as clean as they do
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It looks so darn nice. We spent so long trying to make each part of the process as easy as possible for the user.

8,033 | https://devpost.com/software/therapyeet | Inspiration
We are high school students and know how stressful life can be. Sometimes we just need a place to rant without feeling burdened, judged, and express our emotions. We need something to help us through the challenges of life, so we created this mental health buddy to reduce stigma and help others receive mental assistance with affordability and accessibility. Cheer up!
What it does
First, it has user authentication and requires sign up and sign in. Then, it has stripe api for payments which are affordable, only 2 dollars. Then, users can go right to the chat and start getting assistance and Therapy. From the messages, the machine will send over human like advice, encourage the client with memes, quotes, and music as well with natural language processing.
How we built it
We built TherapYEET starting with an ML model, trained off the IMDb dataset . The model was built with scikit-learn. Secondly, we developed a web-based API for user authentication and activation of account based on payment. After that was done, we built an Android app that integrated with the web API. The Android app featured Stripe for payments, although we used a test API key so no one would lose money during the test. We used Azure for the cloud.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges choosing an appropriate dataset for the task, because the IMDb dataset does not reflect humans engaging in day-to-day conversations. While we found another usable dataset more corresponding to what we needed, we were unable to use it due to time restrictions and lack of information on how to read the dataset quickly. Also, with the lack of wifi, it was hard to keep editing and working throughout.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud that we were able to get through the challenges with Android Studio and implement the Stripe API, SQL authentication, and nice features. We're also proud that although our ML model is not perfect due to the lack of perfect datasets and lack of time, it is sufficient for our purpose and can help mental health of others. We are also proud that we implemented the in the cloud machine learning with Azure and were able to put the pieces together.
What we learned
We learned that you have to be mindful of the type of text in a text dataset if you are making an application that uses ML and is focused around text. We also learned how to quickly deploy Flask applications on Microsoft Azure. Finally, we learned how to write a chat application using ListViews in Android, how to integrate Stripe with Android, and how to integrate a web API with Android.
What's next for TherapYEET
TherapYEET will gain true credit card transactions for low-cost service, by using a real Stripe API key instead of a sample. Hardcoded values will be cleaned up into centralized files. Next, we will use the dataset we found in order to have better accuracy with the application, and find more appropriate memes and songs. We will finally perfect the audio playing situation in the app. We will then branch out and move to more platforms, making a web UI and an iOS apps and improve the UI.

Content platform that pays creators directly.
Why?
On current platforms, creators are paid very little (< 2% of revenue)
Many creators get demonetized
It's hard for creators to access their money
What?
BitShare pays creators directly. When someone is streaming a song or video on our platform, their browser mines cryptocurrency (Monero) for the creator. The creator is paid based on their views; if more people stream their content more people will mine crypto for them.
How?
We built BitShare using python, flask, sql, and javascript.
Flask and SQL were used for the backend, and we used the crypto-loot javascript miner.

8,033 | https://devpost.com/software/schooltracker | To begin, as a team, we strived to come up with a project idea that could influence thousands of lives. Growing up, we all have experienced anxiety due to a lack of organization school systems embrace. The team looked at this problem as an opportunity to advance as an educational body. Immediately, we wanted to make a uniform schedule that schools can utilize to make sure their students are up-to-date on current events. We figured that the things students really cared about were: school schedules, announcements, and lunch menus. Since we wanted the site to be as user-friendly as possible, we wanted to go for a very simplistic yet visually-appealing design. Together, the team brainstormed ideas and came up with our final look. We used photoshop to make a model for the final product. The point of the site was to keep students as updated as possible, and we didn't desire to stray from our task. We made a uniform view, as we wanted the look to be very welcoming and warm. However, not everything was as clean-cut as we hoped it to be. There were many arguments based on how user-friendly the website was, and what could be done. Design of the site was also debated, due to different preferences of appearance. However, we all agreed on a single website by the end. We're very proud of the simplistic design, and how it took everyone to be made. We learned how to truly work as a team, and figure out an issue together. As for what's next for SchoolTracker? We hope to propose our product to a variety of school systems, including our own, and possibly sell licenses out to many schools for them to revolutionize their organizational abilities. We really enjoyed this event and loved making our project.

We are high school students who was experimenting with ways to improve people's everyday lives. After some thought, We came up with the idea of using machine learning in a healthcare-type application that allows users to take a picture of their skin and self-diagnose themselves for whether they have a type of skin cancer or not.
What it does
This is an app to detect and self-diagnose skin cancer using machine learning.
You take a picture of your skin using the native mobile application, then the picture is sent to my secure cloud server on Azure, where the Azure Machine Learning Service can classify the image by comparing its color and frequency of certain distinctive features of diseased skin to your skin, and finally, the output is sent back to the app where you will receive the probability of having each type of skin cancer. There is also the history tab, which displays your past uploads, and the medical profile tab, which allows you to check the symptoms you have from a drop-down menu.
How we built it
We used Android Studio for the application, Azure for the machine learning and cloud servers, and Kaggle for the database of images to train the machine learning algorithm.
Challenges we ran into
Machine learning accuracy, it sometimes predicted incorrectly due to factors like background lighting and other objects.
Accomplishments that we're proud of

Important Debate in progress
Inactive Debate
Inspiration
Bantr came about through frustration. Time and time again, we have seen debates lose their purpose due to administrative errors. Be they student union debates, or even televised town halls, there seems to be a persuasive lack of awareness regarding what is going on. It turns into one-sided dialogue- a speech instead of a forum. This is what we wanted to change. Through creating this new user interface for discussion, we hope to allow debates to run smoothly such that everyone can be a participant.
What it does
The app essentially creates “rooms” that a user can enter. Users must have an account on the system, and they are provided with a username. These users can participate in the debate with three different sets of rights. First and foremost, they may be spectators. Spectators have the least rights- they may see the questions being asked, the time remaining, and have the opportunity to chat in real time with other people. They can also see who is participating in the debate. Debaters have the ability to do the aforementioned, but they also have questions directed at them by the moderator. The moderator gets all of the rights and is also the one that controls the flow of debate by asking questions. There can exist unlimited rooms (within reason) and anyone can create and moderate rooms. To join a debate, one must have the password that was created by the moderator. If you attempt to type negative information into the chat, your chat will not be displayed.
How we built it
The project is primarily a Flask web app, coded using python. In order to get the real-time information and feedback, we integrated the project using socket.io and we had to take an SQL database and turn it into a real-time database. The server communicated with the client as every action is routed through the server before it takes place. For the sentiment analysis, we used Azure to see negative phrases and block them from happening.
Challenges we ran into
As with any new technology, we had issues with unfamiliarity. Not only did we want to create a real-time development and production environment, but we also wanted to include nuance in regards to the user accounts. Because of our lack of knowledge with Socket.io, we had to read a number of different resources in order to even understand the principles. It was hard to standardize only half of the website while giving different privileges to the users. It was also difficult to create a real-time environment because we had to have a constant connection between the various clients and the servers.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud that we have a finished product- we even have a domain that allows others to use our service. We are pleased that we were able to get all of the features that we said would be essential into our product, and even more. Not only did we get the base goal of a chat-like system, but we were able to add advanced features like filtering the chat. We really got into the niche market that we thought we would aim for and we added functionality that separates our product from other chat apps like Twitch, Slack, and more. We showed someone the project and they commented that our app was like “Slack but better”, which we really appreciated.
What we learned
We learned a lot about the value of reading online. We found that the Socket.io documentation (despite being imperfect) allowed us to understand what is happening. We also began to understand a lot more about client and server interactions and how exactly this process works. We truly believe that without learning how computer socket interaction works we never would have been able to create his project.
What's next for bantr
We are hoping to add more features. As we see it right now, our product is a medium viable product for something greater. We’re looking for more and more Azure integration - we hope to add the ability to search for information using Bing to our product. We also want to be able to implement this not only in political settings but also potentially in the classroom or when there are panels- anytime there is a mass gathering and questions being asked, we feel as though Bantr can be used. We hope to turn this into a full-fledged product.

Inspiration
We were inspired by Leap Technology. We saw the power the leap sensor could do by tracking hands, and thought we could create an AI to teach people sign language.
What it does
With the help of cutting edge hand tracking and virtual reality technology, ASL VR provides a truly immersive learning experience fit for the 21st century. Instead of flipping open a dusty textbook or trying to read from your phone screen, enter our simulated classroom and receive instant feedback on your learning progress with Leap motion tracking.
How we built it
Our Unity VR project uses Leap motion tracking to plot points on your hands. We spent a lot of time nailing down the accuracy of each hand gesture and measuring each letter's accuracy to our training data.
Challenges we ran into
HOURS were spent on finding the right mixture of angles between points, distance between points, which points to focus on, and how to retrieve accurate relative data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We persevered through the repetitive task of training and retraining each letter every time we updated the gesture detection, and found an accurate way to differentiate each sign.
What we learned
Sign language of course, but also how to cross reference data to calculate accurateness.

8,035 | https://devpost.com/software/bathroom-monitor | Inspiration
With Vape Pens becoming a widespread epidemic for teenagers across the United States, students are using bathrooms as an escape from school administrators, school police, and school cameras. Our district won't hire people to become bathrooms monitors, so we've decided to write our own solution. Presenting Bathroom Monitor.
What it does
Using a vaper-particle detector, decibel reader, and a Quadcomm 410C, we're monitoring the levels of vape and audio inside the bathroom. When the audio or vape reaches a certain threshold, the information is relayed live to a mobile application written with the Ionic Framework. The app is supposed to reside on the school's administration mobile phones, alerting them when suspicious activity has been detected.
All the information is viewable in live-time, being updated every second. The information can be understood easily via the app through appealing mobile UI.
How we built it
The QuadComm 410C is the hardware, handling both the audio decibel reader and vape sensor. Using python, we're passing to Firebase Realtime Database. Using the Ionic Framework, we developed a cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android that displays the information and alerts administration via notification in live-time.
Challenges we ran into
Serial communications. Python is not our most well-known language. We had more troubles passing data through physical wires than passing information through the internet securely.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are impressed with the variety of languages we used. Python, Json, Typescript, HTML, & CSS skills where all required to accomplish this project.
In earlier versions before we implemented the QuadComm 410C, we used a Arduino for handling hardware and passed the information to a Raspberry-pi to send it to the internet. We impressed ourselves with the fast and smooth transition between the two different hardware setups.
What we learned
As a team of four programmers we all came to learn something different. Nobody in our team was familiar with serialization with the Qualcomm, Arduino, or Raspberry-pi. We learned how to serialize information through a data stream.
Our group, knowing a wide variety of languages all together, each struggled when it came to Python. We all write in strongly typed languages (aside from JavaScript) so writing in Python was painstakingly frustrating for all of us. We learned a lot of what you should (and shouldn't!) do when writing in Python.
What's next for Bathroom Monitor

Interface Design
Inspiration
As students of Klein ISD, we are very dedicated to our academic performance. The fast updates of information from resources like Skyward and the effectiveness of applications like Khan Academy have made education easier than ever. However, what if you could make it even better by combining the two and fixing the major problems students have with those resources? This is what Echo aims to accomplish.
What it does
Echo uses API-driven grade retrieval to retrieve grades entered into the Skyward system. The information retrieved from Skyward is used to power our live-updating GPA calculator that calculates your GPA based on recent grades rather than an outdated official GPA. This feature is something highly requested by our peers and felt it could greatly improve students awareness about how they performing. On top of this, the primary technical portion of our project is the ability for the application to suggest course material based on subjects you are struggling in. The ability to directly access your grades is a feature that Khan Academy lacks and could greatly help students that are unsure of what they need to know.
How I built it
The application's interface was built using React, a modern front-end framework developed by Facebook.
To access Skyward, we appreciatively used the assistance of the API developed by own of our fellow hackers, Kael Kirk. The API allowed us to retrieve data from Skyward as the company lacks an official API for developers.
All of the code for the application was written in Javascript (ES6) using Node.JS as our backend service and primarily consist of calculations based on data retrieved.
Challenges I ran into
There were more than a few roadblocks during the construction of our project.
The back-end environment for our application (NodeJS) was facing a lot of compatibility issues with ESLint and we weren't able to get it functional for around
2 hours
.
On top of this, there was a lot of issues with the UI framework we were planning on using and had to resort to developing most of the interface ourselves.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The primary accomplishment that we are most proud of is the GPA calculator. Spanning over 500 lines of code, the calculator utilized advanced for loops, state functionally, react component life cycles, API driven data retrieval and lots and lots of edge cases. This type of calculator is something me and my friends have been looking for for a long time and were very proud to have finally been able to make it.
What I learned
We learned a lot about advanced Javascript concepts as well as the implementation of many react technologies. With only one person on our team having experience with this type of technology, everything used was new to us. From designing features with NodeJS to assembling react components, We learned it from scratch.
What's next for Echo
The next step for Echo would likely be scalability and improvement of the load-time performance from the API. another more complex step we would like to see is the implementation of machine and neural networks to further the effectiveness of the recommendation system.

This is a game that raises awareness of cyber-bullying and informing its players of statistics and other information on the topic as well as providing a fun mystery game as an engaging way to learn.
How I built it
I built this game using Adobe Animate, using the built in code snippets to navigate through scenes when certain buttons are pushed.
Challenges I ran into
At some points there were tests that I'd run that would have the wrong key frames specified in the code, which would make the buttons jump to a certain part of the scene that was not intended.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud that my team and I were able to make a fully functional game in less than 24 hours, especially considering the fact that we didn't come up with a plan until six hours in to the Hackathon. Also, this is one of my first full games that I've made before, so for me it's a big accomplishment.
What I learned
I learned most technically how to use the codes in Animate to make a game, but I also learned that although the people in my team knew more about making games than others, each of us were able to use our own individual skills such as creativity for a storyline, art, and game making to put a full project together.
What's next for Block the Bully
We hope to add a point system, a three strike rule, and possibly more scenarios other than the one we have currently.

8,035 | https://devpost.com/software/merge-learning-for-students-with-dyslexia-2-0 | Inspiration-
Learning can be difficult for students who have dyslexia. With the MERGE Cube, students with dyslexia will be able to visually learn many things that they could not learn in a normal classroom.
What it does-
With different models, there will be many lessons taught through our MERGER lab specifically focused on students with disabilities. Our demo project is aimed towards young students (Kindergarten or 1st grade), who needs help with learning directions.
How I built it-
A website/app called CoSpaces where you can create 3D holograms around the MERGE block. We also used Microsoft Paint 3D to create images that we were able to bring to life via VR.
Challenges we ran into-
MERGE does not have any audio options to read the text out loud. This is difficult for students with dyslexia so we had Rachel voice record herself so we could have a voice over on top of the words on the screen.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of-
The 3D models look very well put together and the animation flows well. Running through the model on the app and going through the code is something that works so well, the only major flaws are ones that are commonly run into when running a virtual reality in a multiverse.
What I learned-
How to 3D design on Microsoft Paint 3D and how to create and edit code in 3D.
What's next for MERGE Learning for Students with Dyslexia-
We hope to continue building more models to help students learn in a way that may be easier to them than the everyday classroom.

Due to the vastness of the ocean and how much of it is unknown, we wanted to educate kids on the basic layers of the ocean and its contents. The mini virtual reality that we built around the merge cube is very simplistic in teaching about the different layers, as well as a hint of commentary on the pollution present in the ocean.
What it does
The target audience of our merge cube is young children, especially in the classroom environment. The cube provides an interactive and fun way to learn that will keep the kids engaged in the topic of discussion.
How we built it
By first using 3D paint, we created the ocean layer backgrounds for each side of the cube, as well as for the stationary text that states the depth of each layer. The rest of the code and objects used were created in the CoSpaces Edu work space, where we attached items to the cube and assigned information and actions for each object.
Challenges we ran into
Initially, we ran into many challenges with importing the objects from 3D paint, eventually learning that the file format from paint isn't compatible with that of CoSpaces'. To work around it while also somehow incorporating the 3D paint part of the challenge, we decided to create the backgrounds in paint. We then used the objects available to us in the presets on CoSpaces to get our idea across, adding code to it to make it more personalized.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Coming into the challenge, each member of the team didn't have any experience in 3D paint or with the merge cube. By attending the merge and 3D paint session, we were able to learn the basics and then figured out the rest on our own through trial and error. Although the overall programming and design of the cube is very simplistic, it gets our idea across and presents one way that the merge cube can be used in the classroom environment.
What we learned
We learned how to work together as a team, with each member contributing what skill set they excelled at. We also learned more about the functions of 3D paint and how basic coding works, specifically the various ways we could utilize the merge cube.
What's next for Depths of the Ocean Merge Cube
Once we're more experienced and accustomed to how CoSpaces and the merge cube works, hopefully we can expand from our simplistic design and employ more complex coding and graphics. There's also a way to make 3D models that can be imported into CoSpaces without complications, so with more time, all the objects could be original creations unique in design.

8,035 | https://devpost.com/software/chore-manager | Inspiration
When I am coming home from a hard disciplined day of school work with mounds homework ahead of me, the last thing I want to hear is "Don't forget, you have chores." Having to manage school, homework, and extra curricular activities along with chores, it gets difficult to manage (and difficult to manage fast!). Developing a secure chores list for my family eases my stress about time-management and lets me see what I need to get done ahead of time. Might as well say, we where lacking anything but inspiration.
What it does
Using Blockstack API functions, we've creating a secure family login, preventing outsiders from accessing our sensitive information. Our family is able to add chores to the person's todo-list. Once a family member has completed a chore, they can click on it and remove it from the list.
How we built it
We started off by building a Blockstack sign in page. From the sign in page, we added the ability to add items to a visually appealing list on our UI while securely placing the information in Blockstacks Cloud Storage. From there, we added the feature to click on a item list, and remove it from the list both on the front end and back end.
Challenges we ran into
Modeling our website off of Blockstack's example websites for "good practice", we found they wrote in a very different style of programming than we did. We found it difficult to match their good practices and styles throughout the project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Entering the Hackathon, we had zero knowledge of Blockstack. We learned the API from the ground up. Our team is proud of the great collaboration and knowledge we shared and gained throughout scripting this website with Blockstack.
What we learned
We learned Blockstack from the ground up. Blockstack wasn't our priority project during this Hackathon so little time was given to the project. We are proud the massive amounts of progress we made in such little time. As we where developing, many new ideas came flowing to us to add to the website. We also learned what decentralized apps are, and how to make them.
What's next for Chore Manager
Next we will add in another section for homework assignments.

This invention was made to protect and put our world in a much safer environment than it actually is in now. It is an extremely powerful high tech armor that prevents harm to the owner of the armor. (Owner meaning the special forces). However, what is really unique about it, is that we added a Smart Chip which could majorly increase the power of security. This chip can do numerous special functions such as alerting citizens nearby about any possible crimes or criminals on the loose, GPS Tracking and much more!
This high tech armor is built with many safety features like bullet-proof eyewear, night vision goggles and much more!
Surprisingly, I never really had any challenges I had to face, during the making of this invention.
if this invention came to life, the world would be a safer place for sure.

The social media site we have created will hopefully show others how important going against cyber bullying is and how to help. Our site should also be a place for positive comments to be shared. This Instagram was created using our background knowledge of cyber bullying, stories from victims, and new ideas. Creating a social media site against bullying was difficult because cyber bullying is ignored and passes as a "joke" most of the times. Being unsure of how others would react to this page was our biggest fear. Another challenge we've faced is the fact that many different social media sites have tried to address social media and their attempts have not worked. Although we have faced these problems, our team is proud of what we have submitted and we believe there is hope for those who are hurting. During this process, we have learned that our time should be used wisely and we have learned how to make a difference in others lives. In the future, we want "You Matter" to become a social media site that people can feel safe on, and we want it to influence others to make a difference in the world too.

8,035 | https://devpost.com/software/roader-reader | Inspiration
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the US. Often, the ones blamed for such accidents are the ones who were driving, while the ones who created unintuitive, doomed to fail, roads are left unseen. I think roads should be created the way modern UI is; with no possible room for error, to the point where even the drunk and fatigued drivers have no worries.
What it does
Roader Reader is a machine learning based solution to the problem of crappy roads. By using maps of roads and their corresponding accident heatmaps, I plan to teach a convolutional neural network to determine how dangerous a potential road is. This solution not only works large-scale--with city builders to create roads--and short-scale--with mapping applications like Google Maps.
How I built it
The dataset used was Utah's Vehicle Collisions, which recorded all crashes in Utah from the previous 10 years. The images of maps can be generated using Google's Map API. And, most importantly, the machine learning library used was Google's Tensorflow in Python.
Challenges I ran into
Most of my challenges came from the dataset used, and also not knowing how mapping works. The latitude and longitude displayed were in 2 different types ones that ranged from 0-180 and another which I still don't know how it works.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The machine learning model that I had planned to use was finished, and in essence, all that's left is just feeding it data and training.
What I learned
I learned the intricacies of Convolutional Neural Networks and their opposite Transposed Convolutional Neural Networks.

LOGO
Inspiration - Being that the organization serves homeless people, I believed it was imperative to create a design language that was inviting and colorful, which would represent the full spectrum of people, being aided or volunteering with this organization.
What it does - it serves as a design language that can be present throughout 1960's Hope centers branding and marketing, not just within there website but even with social media.
How I built it - I used adobe illustrator and drew out the logo.
Challenges I ran into - I didn't know how to code, so I resorted to doing something I know well, designing in the adobe creative cloud, I understand that my project doesn't serve as the product that the organization is looking for, but serves as something I see a more important, a redefined identity for this organization that helps so many people.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of - I am really proud of the logo design and what we were able to represent with it, i think regardless of whether my website design is good or not, the logo itself i believe should be strongly considered.
What I learned - I learned UI design.

We realized that many weather apps provide unnecessary and unclear information that confuses people instead of helping them.
Blue simplifies data and only presents the most important data in a simplified format. It also provides details and suggestions on how to deal with the weather.
We used Java, HTML, CSS, Openweathermaps API, ZipcodeAPI, and Breezometer API
We got multiple whitelabel errors, bad request errors, and 429 too many request errors.
We have a fully functional website and efficient design.
We learned how to integrate API's and get more familiar with HTML/CSS.
We will add Pollen/Allergen data, make it an app for Apple & Android, make the app work with global zip codes, make the website more interactive, and clean up the design.

8,037 | https://devpost.com/software/nonprofit-connect | Inspiration
We wanted to create something of a combination between Yelp and Indeed but geared toward students trying to get volunteer hours and nonprofit organizations.
What it does
It allows nonprofit organizations to post volunteer opportunities that appear on a map. The end goal is to allow volunteers to print a history sheet of their past volunteer hours with the contact info for the organization. This would allow them to show proof to their school or organization.
How we built it
We built it using html, css, and javascript using firebase and GitHub.
Challenges we ran into
Learning how to use all of these new softwares, merging branches and resolving conflicts on GitHub, working out sharing permissions and general troubleshooting and debugging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It is almost entirely functional and we all learned a tremendous amount about coding and web dev.
What we learned
How to use GitHub and firebase with html, css, and javascript. How to work as a team and compile versions / branches.

8,037 | https://devpost.com/software/mad-paranoia | Inspiration
What it does
Our game allows players to enter their own verbs and nouns that will be added to questions they will have to answer in the future about the other players. The trick is, the other players don't always get to know what the question was.
How we built it
We created our project with Javascript on codePen. We worked to finish the program to a point of functionality and went back to revise and design.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with our list at the beginning of the program. We wanted our players to be able to click on an input object and delete it. What we couldn't figure out was why after we deleted an object, the list didn't seem to decrease in size. We learned and relearned list functions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Time management, we made sure to prioritize our tasks. Once we knew what we wanted to do, we stuck with it and were consistent.
What we learned
After struggling with our lists, we learned how to better manipulate them and how to debug our programs. A lot of outputs and function commenting helps a lot.
What's next for Mad Paranoia

8,037 | https://devpost.com/software/camera-battle-royale | Inspiration
We were inspired by a youtube video where youtubers played this game, but kept track of who was alive manually.
What it does
It allows people to participate in a real life stimulation of the battle royale type game. Their camera is their weapon and they need to attack by taking picture of their opponents. The ultimate survivor is the winner. It is a form of entertainment that incorporate exercise and force players to step out of their home.
How we built it
We built it using App Inventor 2 and took turns coding. We did research and gave suggestions while the other person coded. It took a wide variety of the android's features to get the cameras, cloud database, and data handling to work
Challenges we ran into
We had troubled getting the host and the players to be on the same page and to interact well with each other. The interface limited the ways we could interact with the databases, which made syncing even more complicated.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting it to work as well as it does with such limited ability to test.
What we learned
We learned to successfully created a game with a cloud database in App Inventor 2.
What's next for Camera Battle Royale
We have many enhancements that we want to add like facial recognition, and let the players log in using their pictures. We wanted to add a map with the players' location for the host screen, along with time and area restriction. Team battle and second objectives are also coming in the future.

8,037 | https://devpost.com/software/minute-math | Inspiration
As all four of us enjoy math, so we decided to make a math based program. Middle school math is very speed based, so we decided that our program should be based on answering problems quickly and accurately.
Because most of us have been in our Middle School competitive math program, we decided that it would be useful to have a study tool to test a participants speed.
What it does
The user can choose between doing answering as many problems as they can in one, two, or five minutes. After the time is up, the user will see a report on how many they got right, wrong, and what percentage they got right.
How I built it
We used HTML to code the UI and used JS to code the game logic.
Challenges I ran into
Getting buttons to work
Getting test to center
Repl.it not working correctly
Creating a functioning backspace key
Randomly obtaining a problem out of a group
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of finishing our project since we weren't able to complete our project in time in the last Hackathon.
What I learned
I learned to work as a team to do projects. We first cut the project into different sections: 2 people did the UI and 2 people did the game logic. Splitting up the work allowed us to get a lot more done quickly, and afterwards we debriefed to each other about what we each did individually.

Inspiration
one of our team members, her uncle is a farmer and he was complaining about how it is hard to find connections with retailers and how it is unfair for him to put a lot of effort and money in his land and can't get good prices. so he was thinking about stopping farming and using his land in something else.
so thinking about our statistics regards the crops importing and how much the vegetables and fruits became expensive we found that if each farmer had chances to market his own crops and found good supplies in good prices he won't only be satisfied but also his crops will be produced in a good quality and that will subsequently affect the market prices and serve the society needs.
What it does
Connect The farmer with The buyer and The service provider with an easy way. Help in simplifying the cycle of agriculture and reduce the food waste.
How we built it
We used a cross platform code engine to build the application
Challenges we ran into

8,039 | https://devpost.com/software/chipin-ox157m | Tackling:
Zero Hunger
Aim:
Ending hunger
Achieving food security
Achieving improved nutrition
and finally and, in our case, most importantly: promoting sustainable agriculture
Hence the Problem/Challenge was —> how can we use technology to promote sustainable agriculture?
So we came up with ChipIn, an android mobile application that helps raise funds for small-scale farmers allowing them to have equal access to more advanced and sustainable agricultural practices.
In simpler words, we are helping raise money to “revamp” the agricultural scene in Egypt narrowing our scope to small scale farmers who happen to make up about 90% of Egyptʼs farmersʼ sector (the ones that own <= 3 acres).
So here we have Ahmad.
Ahmad has heard about the smart irrigation system his friend Mahmoud started using and how it helped boost his production.
All Ahmad has to do is go the agricultural organization in his town and apply fill out an order request.
The agricultural organization will contact us and we will help promote the case, and collect donations for Ahmad.
Now Ahmad has sufficient funds to start his own project, adopting a more sustainable agricultural practice.
Now for the cherry on top, Om Islam has six kids, she needs money, she heard about how profitable a poultry farm could be. So she went to her villageʼs agricultural organization and filled out an order request, same as with Ahmad, Om Islam now has sufficient funds to start her own small business. (SDG Goal 2 #EmpoweringWomen)
ChipIn provides a seamless navigation experience, where you land on a map showing projects all around Egypt as pin markers. Then you have explore, a screen that previews all of the projects that are running (still accepting donations) at the very moment. It provides a preview of the process involved in achieving the target of the project, and shows how far along the execution of the project is, and how much money has been and ought to be raised for that specific project. Then, you have the option to Chip In the project cost!
Another aspect of promoting sustainable agriculture that we tackled was the lack of awareness of the importance of the agricultural domain. We ourselves, had no idea what big of an impact agriculture has on food production here in Egypt. So through the app, we provided two features dedicated to solely to address it.
That little section right there (UN goals), and the “did you know” notifications. They provide people an incentive to invest in that area that is widely neglected.
It must be noted that the donations provided by the people for the cases is not charity. For the farmers, it is more or less a loan, that they ought to pay back to their agricultural organization. i.e. a revolving fund

8,039 | https://devpost.com/software/distinct-jozoor | What problem are we tackling
Farmers around Cairo needs an alternative ways to distribute their crops because most of the market is monopolized by the main players, Which effects their productivity and cash flow.
Farmers are not able to take risks trying new technologies because the lack of resources and sustainability
Crops get wasted because of the multiple cycles it goes across, and because each cycle adds a profit margin the over all prices are increasing dramatically.
Consumers have to pay the price of these transportation overheads and the wasted crops
Consumers has to accept whatever quality they get because the alternative quality is out of their budget in some cases.
How did we tackled it
Create an ecommerce solution to sell crops directly from farmers to consumers.
Give consumers the most convenient way to do grocery shopping.
Give farmers the ability to sell with a fair price.
Consumers receive better quality for a better and relatively stable price.
Create online community that farmers can share their knowledge on, and seek help from professionals.

Inspiration
FB fan page for farming union association have only 6000 members with few activity, All activity are limited to sessions.
What it does
We create a competition between farming association through auction; they bid on the web app demands and their crops. Each association meet farmers and group them to cover the needs. All farmers have a very simple mobile app to follow updates and announcement.
How we built it
A web app is introduced in each association agent for bidding. a mobile app with farmers to follow up updates with their association agent. Blockchain is the core of the project to link each farming association as a node.
Challenges we ran into
Data availability,
simplify UX for farmers with basic functions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We use Blockchain for data security and data traceability, every single transaction is timestamped and shared in a public ledger.
We can include school meals as a bidding deal in the web application where farmers can invest and with some agri-processing steps, partial of school meals could be provided by local farmers.
Meeting with farmers and farming association agents.
What we learned
How Blockchain could be implemented to fill the gap and remove intermediary in the food cycle, which in terms reflected to the cost.
There are a huge gap
What's next for Valoro
collaborate with farming association and NGOs.
Test app and get feedback.
Complete a business cycle in the app through blockchain for data traceability.
project include.
Mobile app for farmer developed using React native.
Blockchain backend developed using Hyperledger composer for demonstration.
WP for project workflow.
TODO
Replace Wordpress web application with Angular app to connect with REST Server generated from blockchain, this would help in traceability for each transaction in the chain.
