Inspiration

We're a team of three women passionate about sustainability and making a positive impact on our planet. During Cal Hacks, we wanted to build something people would enjoy using, while also promoting behavior that's good for the environment-- like recycling, walking, and taking public transportation. We were inspired by the recent controversies surrounding excessive carbon footprints of celebrities, and we know the impact of huge fanbases coming together. We decided to connect the two to help fans make a real change by reducing their own carbon footprint.

What it does

We created a webpage that allows users to visualize the CO2 emissions of celebrities by analyzing publicly accessibly flight data. Then, we allow users to input their own data by tracking steps, distance traveled through biking or taking public transportation, and even inputting product barcodes of recyclable items. We display progress bars showing each fanbase, and how close they are to reaching their goal.

How we built it

We built our webpage using Github, VSCode, Javascript for the backend, and React, Typescript, HTML/CSS for the frontend

Challenges we ran into

Our limited knowledge was a challenge at first, but we came together to research APIs and learn by doing

Accomplishments we're proud of

We're proud of our unique features, like inputting barcode data, calculating CO2 emissions from large datasets, and connecting all the components together :)

What we learned

This is our first hackathon! We learned so much about project ideation and full-stack development through this project. It's our first time writing code in Javascript and using React, interact with new APIs, and making a fully functional webpage.

What's next

We want to incentivize users to actually upload their data by creating raffles for concert tickets or movies for the fanbase with the most data. We also want to implement a login system and some more features to prevent individuals from uploading fake data.

Figures cover GitHub contributors during the hackathon window. A co-authored commit counts in full for each author, so per-member totals add up to more than the whole-team figures.
