## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

From my sustainability major and after going on a Recology tour where I got to talk to their workers, thanks to my university, I understood the importance of correctly disposing of your garbage to help it actually get recycled. Therefore with this project, I am to enhance sustainability through Pepsi's global value Chain by promoting Consumer recycling, mainly directed at the youth

### What it does

Using image recognition encourages people to recycle more

### How we built it

Using Thunkable to create the app by the blocks and including image recognition and the maps API by Google.

### Challenges we ran into

My team member left due to other responsibilities, which made it hard for me as I do not have app development experience, and I was more focused on the research part at the beginning, so I had to use thunkable for easier development of the app.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

Getting the image recognition to work on the app.

### What we learned

How to use APIs on thunkable, a lot about recycling, its importance, the different materials, and how they are recycled.

### What's next

Complete the app development part by adding the challenges, and the correct map signaling the correct direction to the correct trash bin.
