WasteRA

Devpost

This project did not submit a demo video on Devpost.

Inspiration

We were surprised by the pounds of food wasted at Wilbur Dining hall each day at dinner and thought of coming up with a public website that displayed the astronomical amount of food wastage to all the Stanford students who dine there.

What it does

WasteRA embeds 3 sensors - light, motion and ultrasound - onto every compost recycle bin at all the 13 dining halls of Stanford. A dynamic web server will incorporate this data into realtime analysis and feature a leaderboard for comparing rates between all the UC campuses.

How we built it

We used C++, HTML, Javascript and Docker.

Challenges we ran into

We had a very hard time into making the web server and displaying the real time data.

Accomplishments we're proud of

We are proud of coding up the backend web server.

What we learned

We learnt how to to use Docker to quickly test out our applications.

What's next

Iteration 2.0 of WasteRA will focus on embedding sensors on every recycle bins located inside the Stanford campus. The leaderboard will focus on the different housing complexes like Stern Hall, Wilbur Hall, EVGR, Crothers Hall, etc.

Metric

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.

4 of 6 appear in the indexed code. 2 claimed on Devpost could not be matched to code, which may simply mean the tool leaves no trace in the repository.

AI coding agents

No AI coding agent signals were found in this repository.

Detected from committed agent config files and commit authorship. Absence of a signal is not proof an agent was unused.
