BeeGreen

Inspiration

Since the dawn of humanity, hunger has defined human existence as both by plague but also by joy after defeating it. Nowadays, hunger is rarely a problem due to its millions of unhealthy, cheap, pollution-contributing solutions. Such unsustainable ways have led to money and power-hungry corporations to exploit the unfortunate and contribute to climate change despite the fact that human civilization will fail to exist if this continues on. Some say, it is impossible to fight climate change because there are too many factors to consider, but here at BeeGreen, we believe that any and every effort is important to the cause of a greener future. Targeting the unfair market of unhealthy meal options, we have decided to create a platform that will allow for restaurants with a focus on fighting climate change to gain more recognition and get supported by likeminded customers.

How we built it

Hardwork, dedication, a lot of learning, and lots of time (sacrificed eating dinner late, slept at 3 am, left school early to work on the project asap)

Challenges we ran into

Communication, changing the trajectory of the entire project, trips to the bathroom, eating enough food for energy to keep our brains working, fighting off sleep demons

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We originally were going to attend BeeLikeCoders 3.0 with another of our friends, but he was unable to make it, unfortunately. Knowing that most teams consist of 4 hardworking students(not to mention - college students), we were discouraged by our chances (having only two team members) and were considering dropping out, but we decided to push against the odds and attend to see what we would create. In the end, our love for hackathons persisted beyond hardship and difficulty to create a project that would live to see the day with pride.

What we learned

We learned a lot about HTML's, CSS's, and JS's more complex factors such as creating transitions upon scrolling or loading a screen, the organization and complexity of managing multiple pages, connecting data from page to page to create relevant data and useful summaries, new design tactics specifically in the artistic them of Brutalism, comment on code efficiently to enhance the organization of code

What's next for BeeGreen

In the future, BeeGreen hopes to connect with various media platforms to extend its influence and positive impact on climate change and gather more restaurants and crowdsource more feedback from customers and scouts to properly rank restaurants and route paths. Additionally, EventMaster hopes to create more opportunities for events in general and stay free with minimal use of ads to allow easy entry and access to future events. The program also intends to expand in more environmental directions such as helping reduce emissions through calculators, data visualization, and green assistants alongside a carpooling coordinator.
