Mental health issues and feelings of isolation due to quarantine is an important piece of the broader challenge of the covid-19 pandemic. During our ideation process, we were inspired by the principles of the
Venus: People Empowerment track
. We hope to encourage virtual community building and empower individuals without the limits of a traditional virtual space.
What it does
clique is a mobile app designed to connect like-minded individuals to
empower
one another. with a global pandemic, soaring unemployment rates, and worldwide outcry to police brutality and systemic racism, it’s important, now more than ever, that we continue
building community and encouraging interaction
.
Our app allows individuals to 'match' with others who select the same interests and time availabilities. We strive to be as inclusive as possible so that we can build a welcoming and diverse platform for our users.
How we built it
We used React with Ionic to develop a cross-platform mobile app. The
Google Cloud Platform
, namely Firebase, was an important tool for our backend development. Firebase allowed us to store and update user preference data in real-time and securely authenticate our users.
The
accessibility of our design
was extremely important to us, yet it is an aspect that is often overlooked by developers. We considered the impact of text color, being cognizant of the fact that the majority of color blind individuals are blind to red and green. We made sure to having large touch points to help people restrictive mobility.
We considered individuals with cognitive impairment by reducing crowing and simplifying user flows, making our app easier to use. We highlight essential areas of our app with vibrant call to action buttons. Inactivity is also taken into consideration, with inactive buttons greyed out to reduce confusion. Our chat function is designed to be familiar interface, following the models of commonly used interfaces (ie. iMessage).
Challenges we ran into
Ionic Frameworks just recently launched Ionic-React a few months ago. Because of how recent this development was, it was hard to find answers to questions when we ran into bugs. It was really fun learning this new Framework, and certainly an interesting challenge for all of us.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are excited about the capabilities of our app. We aimed to have a seamless interface that allows users to customize their preferences. Our design is made to be accessible. We wanted to keep our platform as
safe, inclusive, and welcoming
for our users, apart from many existed meetup apps.
What we learned
"I typically work on front end development, so it was really interesting to get involved in the backend development. Firebase has a surprisingly streamlined development process! I also loved our team dynamic <3" – Priya
"Prior to this project, I didn’t have experience with the Ionic Framework or Typescript. There was a bit of a learning curve at first, but I got the hang of things. I also joined this team halfway through things, and it was great working with everyone :)" — Enya
“Learning new frameworks, such as Ionic and Firebase was interesting. It was quite fun with such supportive teammates!” — Alexsandra
"I love working with developers because they help me become a better designer and overall teammate! I learned that being super detailed, descriptive, organized, and frequently communicating is important to properly communicate my design ideas to the team. I'm so grateful to have been a part of such a great team!! (or shall I say clique?)" — Hoang
What's next
Launching our app! We are very close to a deployable product, and we have built our backend (using Firebase!) with scalability in mind. Also, we hope to add more preliminary questions and refine our matching algorithm. We hope to do user research to see what experiences could be improved and would lead to an even better product.

Finding a small business to connect to
Info page for a small business in New York
Profile page for a healthcare worker user
Home page/login page
Inspiration
COVID-19 has left small businesses/local shops struggling to remain in business while front line workers are in need of essential items such as face coverings. However, disposable masks have created a new environmental issue and we should be looking for more sustainable solutions. While surgical masks keep out bacteria, they are a plastic-based, one-time use item that has a long afterlife after they are discarded (possibly ending up in landfills and oceans).
Additionally, many small businesses impacted by COVID-19 have been struggling to stay open and some (i.e. NYC) have started making reusable cloth masks to sell to the public. Our solution aims to address these concerns on both the front-line worker and small business sides by enabling small businesses to contribute towards limiting the negative environmental impacts of disposable masks while providing an essential commodity for healthcare workers in the form of a sustainable, locally made reusable mask. By making reusable masks the norm, we can contribute to saving the environment one mask at a time!
What it does
Earth Masks connects front line workers with small businesses/ local shops! Front line workers are able to purchase reusable masks from local shops that are closest to them. The application integrates a chat feature to ensure personable and effective communication takes place between both parties. Earth Masks puts the environmental impact of disposable masks at the forefront of the solution, by relying on the distribution of reusable masks. The mobile app is gear towards two communities which are being heavily addressed when discussing COVID-19, and with more time and users Earth Masks can develop into an app that pairs as many front line workers with local shops as possible.
How we built it
Android Studio: created the basic program features of the application written in Java and connected the backend of the application with the Yelp API to determine the local shops based on zip code.
Yelp API: integrated on the backend to provide the location of local shops based on zip code.
Figma: built out the UI and designed the application and its many features such as, communication through the app and determining the closest local shops.
Challenges we ran into
We weren’t able to integrate the Yelp API into our app, which is why we created the Figma prototype to show what Earth Masks can do! Finding a mentor well suited to Android Studio was difficult, but we consulted Stack Overflow and Medium articles to help us out!
Accomplishments that we’re proud of
It was our first time at a hackathon and we were able to collaborate like no other, and we learned how to use APIs! We also built on our skills in Android Studio and Figma! We were all collaborating on multiple aspects of the project, and were able to communicate ideas and suggestions effectively!
What we learned
There are so many resources online that can help put together pieces of code! And, many people bring different skills to a team, which allows for all skills to be extremely beneficial!
What’s next for Earth Masks
Building out the app by integrating both the Yelp and Typeform APIs, by integrating the Yelp API Earth Masks could easily suggest local businesses near a front line worker, and by integrating the Typeform API Earth Masks could allow local businesses which are not on Yelp to be listed as users of the app. Earth Masks also plans to integrate sustainability-driven messages throughout the app and make an effort to promote the use of reusable masks when possible!

Spectra 4.0 hackathon project designed to track mental health, provide resources, and match friends during quarantine. Due to the shelter in place orders and social distancing guidelines, many friends and family have lost connection. Our web application aims to bridge the gap that has resulted from extended isolation by providing a space for friends and loved ones to reconnect.
What it does
Through daily questionnaires on desired activities and sociability, our app matches its users with friends and family to encourage connection through watch parties, video calls, and at home workouts with one another. In order to address rising rates of depression, our application also serves to track mental health while also providing resources for its users to get the help they need.
Server:
https://spectrackular.herokuapp.com/results/RiISAHTb
Process
Throughout this process, we built our application with HTML, CSS, and Javascript on the front end and Heroku to host the server using Node.js. In addition, we learned how to use the Typeform API for retrieving form entries and experimented with Postman for API testing.
Challenges

In several parts of the world, there is an increasing elderly population and in light of the pandemic, we see a problem - the senior citizens being isolated, and having difficulties to perform daily tasks and activities.
This is actually an ongoing problem before the pandemic, but when COVID-19 hits, it got worse.
We hope that by connecting available proactive young adults to help out with the seniors in their community, we can foster an environment where the elderly won’t be isolated from the community and can form and maintain relationships with the younger generations.
There is so much wisdom and meaningful experiences that seniors can share with the younger generation and we hope this website can help foster the connectivity and sharing of meaningful experiences too!
What it does
The point of SeniorSidekick is that it should be very accessible and connect you with a volunteer in a matter of seconds.
How we built it
For the backend we used Firebase for the database and user authentication. For the frontend, we used primarily react.js and additional libraries. We were all quite unfamiliar with this stack, so we're proud of what we achieved!
Challenges we ran into
For two of our team members, this is their very first hackathon . Also, it is our first time with React and Firebase so we had trouble integrating the frontend and the backend (post/get requests). After spending many hours going through the various documentations, we managed to finish it on time. Building this app took a lot of patience and support from one another. Through the power of teamwork, we assembled and created our first app this weekend!

Inspiration
During COVID-19, we've noticed that there is a lot of essential travel done in the case of emergencies. We wanted to create an application that is easily accessible to improve the isolation process.
What it does
Our mission is to spread COVID-19 awareness, increase the accountability of users, and reduce any anxiety one might have after traveling. There are three main features: a countdown calendar to 14 days of isolation, a daily symptom tracker, and a blog where users can post about their experiences and tips for staying in quarantine.
How we built it
There are two main components to our application: a sleek and visually pleasing user interface that streamlines the tracking process for someone self-quarantining, and a robust backend to store every user's info and keep track of their symptom data and days spent in quarantine.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest challenge was the communication amongst the team members which led to rendering issues on our computers. We all have different libraries installed on our computers so one thing that might work on one person's computer might not work on another person's computer. We managed to call and screen share to better communicate our thoughts and ideas for the application.
Another challenge was to work with Firebase which we are not familiar with. We navigated through authentication and realtime database in order to provide robust login and storage for the user-friendly tracker and blog post platform.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of how everything turned out at the end! Coming from different backgrounds, we were able to utilize our strengths to our advantage. For example, since some of us are more experienced with front end and design, we were able to help out with the overall display of the website. On the other hand, some of us are more experienced with backend, so we were able to implement the logic behind our app.
What we learned
There are so many libraries! We also learned the basic workflow of a web app and the connections between frontend and backend.
What's next for ISOTRACKER-19
We'd like to expand our platform and make the application mobile-friendly for those that are constantly on the go or don't have access to a computer. We'd also like to account for user location in order to let others know about people quarantining around them(without giving away user information). Another idea that we couldn't implement but wanted to was replacing the symptom tracker checklist with an AI chatbot that asked you about your symptoms to make the web application more interactive.

During shelter in place, the feeling of total isolation leads to poor mental health and a lack of motivation and productivity. Sometimes you want to just talk to someone and have them listen to you and acknowledge your feelings, but you want a safe and inclusive space to do this.
What it does
With mPath, we wanted to connect people again with face to face contact and discussion of their emotions to solve problems, without needing to schedule a time, which can often cause added stress. There are other resources and support groups to really provide a holistic place where the user can feel like they are supported in any of their emotional and mental states or needs.
How I built it
We used Figma to design and prototype, and implemented using React.js as front-end, Node.js as back-end, PostgreSQL as database.
Challenges I ran into
Not enough time to finish everything we envisioned on the prototype.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of

How to make a budget
Resources
Inspiration
We wanted to help individuals from marginalized backgrounds become more financially literate, especially during the wake of massive job losses and a looming recession. There are not many resources available that specifically target these populations and so we wanted to provide an easy-to-use platform to make that possible.
What it does
Our project helps individuals from marginalized backgrounds and/or those who have never had a formal education in financial literacy access the resources to educate themselves on a variety of money-related topics like budgeting, salary negotiation, and investing. Users can also take an easy five-minute quiz to create a custom-budget and receive planet-inspired badges for engaging in content.
How we built it
Originally we wanted to create an iOS app but were not able to develop iOS apps on Windows machines. We then decided to change tracks and develop our prototype using Figma. Figma is a web-based wireframe development software.
Challenges I ran into
Aside from trying to figure out a way to develop iOS apps on a windows machine without success, our main challenge was learning how to utilize the Figma platform. We were all beginners but through the power of google and trial-and-error, we were able to resolve most of our issues.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We're incredibly proud that we were able to complete most of the initial functionalities we set out to do and that we were able to effectively collaborate together to create our product.
What we learned
We learned how to create wireframes on Figma and became more financially literate through researching information and resources to include in our prototype.
What's next for To Budget and Beyond
Some next steps we want to take are creating a fully functional Android and iOS application, expanding the number of languages used to expand our prospective user-base

We often times buy clothes just for one event and never wear it again. Why not buy from already worn clothes from those in your community to not only support your community members but also the environment? Garage sales do just that, but it is often a hassle to hold in person garage sales. This is why we decided to create VRAGE, an online platform for community members to come together to buy what they need and sell what they don't all while reducing the amount of clothes that go into landfills each day.

One of our team members, Michelle, majored in Sociology as an undergrad and wrote her thesis on social determinants of health. One large factor is food deserts, which is something she feels really strongly about as a healthcare advocate, and as we were discussing, we all agreed it is an important issue to tackle when thinking about accessibility and inclusion, especially during the current pandemic when access to food is especially difficult.
What it does
Desert Rain is an app we created to bridge the gap between technology and healthcare by providing recipes of cost-effective healthy meals using resources available within food deserts. We envision it to have two interfaces, one for store owners to share information about their store, including the products that they sell, and another for grocery shoppers to browse nearby stores and see what recipes they can buy ingredients for at those stores. We envision working with nutritionists to curate the recipes.
How I built it
After finalizing our idea on food deserts, we sketched out our user flow and then converted it into a Balsamiq prototype to better visualize our design. After discussing some more, we decided to make a few changes. While Vicky designed a higher-fidelity Figma prototype, Diyi as the front-end developer set up her code so that Vicky was able to pass along the earlier screens for Diyi to program. While Diyi coded, Vicky continued to design her interactive prototype as the final mockup.
Challenges I ran into
We ran into some challenges handing off the designs for development; styling hand-off was a manual process.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
In general, we are proud to have fleshed out a technological design tackling food deserts. This was an especially rewarding experience for us because most of us are first-time hackers and Michelle, having very limited coding knowledge, was able to learn some HTML and CSS along the way.
What I learned
What's next for Desert Rain
We currently only have one user flow fleshed out in design, so we imagine further designing and developing the interface for the store owners going forward. We also anticipate creating an account screen where users can edit their preferences, including dietary restrictions.

The waste accumulation of one-time use plastics has become one of the most prevalent issues of the 21st century. Although plastics are extremely convenient to have on hand, consuming them comes at a significant cost to the environment, as plastics never fully degrade once they are disposed of and pose unhealthy risks to many ecosystems. The increased consumption of bubble tea among teens and young adults in recent years has only aggravated the environmental issue of plastic waste, as the majority of the cups, lids, and straws that come with bubble tea are single-use and tossed away immediately after consumption. Bubble tea stores unlike other stores haven't started large scale efforts to be more environmentally conscious.
What it does
We wanted to create a platform that contains a data visualization displaying the unsustainable aspect of the consumption of bubble tea and also provide resources to better educate people about this issue as well as equip them with resources to become more sustainable.

Inspiration
Sometimes you make the best friends in the most unexpected ways. Universities typically hold many on-campus events providing the opportunity to interact with other students. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, those opportunities have mostly vanished. We created an app to be a shining beacon in dark times, to allow students to connect and have fun without the risk of contracting COVID-19.
Behind the Concept:
We made a pun: Universekitty, where it’s a universe for each university consisting of students representing cat planets
Fun fact: Day 1 of Hackathon, August 8th, 2020, was coincidentally International Cat Day.
What it does
Universekitties connects college students through random chats and themed forums.
The sign-up process involves user authentication with a university email address, which will reduce the risk of spams and other unwanted and anonymous interactions.
The user can select a topic for conversation or simply go random. If the user decides to choose a topic, they will see group chats to jump into. With the latter, users can bond with other active users by sharing funny cat memes and add them as a friend.
The web app would be mostly for finding new friends. Once users add new friends and decide to keep in touch with them, they can get the mobile app to:
Journalize their friendship by posting memes, conversations, events they enjoyed together
Create hangout events with specific friends
Use in-app currency, kitty coins, to customize the app to their liking (i.e. hang out with as many friends as they would like, create various hangout events).
How we built it
Initial idea sketching in Procreate and Adobe XD
We built the web and mobile app in Figma
Challenges we ran into
Initially, we started building a mobile app in Flutter that conveniently supports both iOS and Android devices. However, based on each teammate’s experience and skills, we decided to collaborate through Figma.
We had a lot of ideas going on, but after discussing with a mentor, we narrowed the focus down to the social aspect of the app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We’re proud to have a finished product with a simple-to-navigate design that is both cute and functional. The development of both web and mobile app helped us to solidify our idea of helping college students interact with one another during COVID-19. We are also happy to have included original logos and designs inspired by cats and space made by our team members on Procreate and Figma.
What I learned
In our first 9 hours of the hackathon, we learned the setup of Flutter in Android Studio and VS Code, learned to create the basic level of the mobile version of Universekitty. We were able to implement APIs such as Google Maps to track the user’s location and Firebase for user authentication.
After we decided to create the product in Figma, we extensively collaborated in Low-fidelity prototyping with Procreate and high-fidelity prototyping in Figma. The learning curve was quicker and all members were able to actively contribute to product development.
As such, collaboration and product/project management were key aspects of our team’s effort throughout the hackathon.
What's next for Universekitty
Build full application that utilizes meme and gif APIs
Expand to other audience groups such as high school students
Create a PRO version using in-app currency that can expand on certain applications and features, such as customization of user avatar and event types.

DID YOU KNOW?
That the amount of e-waste generated in the U.S. was 21 kg per capita? (globalewaste.org)
That when disposing of e-waste, workers are exposed to “high levels of contaminants such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, which can lead to irreversible health effects, including cancers, miscarriages, neurological damage and diminished IQs?” (USEPA)
It takes 530 lbs of fossil fuel, 48 lbs of chemicals, and 1.5 tons of water to manufacture one computer and monitor? (Facts and Figures on E-Waste and Recycling, 2015)
Inspiration + The Issue
The amount of e-waste being produced per year and the harmful effects to humans and to the environment when disposing of these products.
What it does
We decided to build an application that provides services for users to better understand the e-waste crisis and adopt environmentally friendly habits to combat the problem. We wanted to provide a map and list major donation centers for people to drop-off their unwanted electronics to be repurposed. We also a component that would aid those who were not as tech-savvy by providing them with a page on IT basics to help them further understand their devices as well as other hot topics in tech today. Finally those who love doing crafts and personal projects, we made a mockup and tried to implement a service where users could post craft projects/DIYs that repurposed e-waste and used electronics, from computer chip earrings to buying used laptops or computer parts.
How we built it
Front-end: HTML, CSS, and Javascript and
Back-end: Node.js, Express, and MongoDB
Challenges we ran into
Catherine:
This is my second time building a website this summer and it was quite a challenge to do it in two days. The other website took a month and a half! So that definitely gave me an opportunity to see how I could make it work.
Sophia:
Some challenges that we ran into were finding times that we finding times to work and collaborate because of time zones and our individual commitments that we had throughout the day. We worked around this by communicating with each other about our said commitments and making the most of the time that all three of us were online. When we were all not online or were heading off, we updated each other about what we had accomplished, any bugs or problems that we had, and any next steps so that no one was left in the dark. It honestly went way better than I expected though.
Jessica:
It was cool learning how the frontend and backend interact, since I’ve only mainly worked with backend before.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to collaborate and produce a project with people in different time zones, all within a short frame of time.
What we learned
We learned how to effectively communicate with one another by utilizing multiple collaborative tools such as figma, Google Docs, and Slack to update one another about our parts for the project.
What's next for Ecotronics
Our next steps for Ecotronics would be to finish the projects listings, and implement a service where people can buy and sell any electronics/device parts. We would also like to improve our map/location services, and hopefully expand it to a global scale.

10,373 | https://devpost.com/software/ripple-pkygr5 | Inspiration
Ripple was created to help show how small impacts can add up to big change. Focusing on 4 aspects, Water Conservation, Electrical Conservation, Food Waste reduction, and Plastic Waste reduction, Ripple invites users to take a look at their habits and find small ways to change things up. Ripple was first thought up to focus on plastic waste alone, but I decided to expand into 4 different categories in order to make a broader change. It also shows how you can help a variety of efforts in some small way, rather than focusing attention on just one problem. Most of the actions suggested won't dramatically change your individual life, but if everyone tries these actions it would have monumental impacts for good.
What it does
Ripple breaks down into 4 categories and helps guide the user to simple tasks to remind and assist in their conservation journey. This app is perfect for someone who is looking to make small changes.
Each page has a color theme, and a "Did you know" section to motivate the user. Below is then a small action item for that specific category. The idea was simple and measured results to motivate users to keep going!
Water Conservation:
Shower timer: Lets users set a timer while they are in the shower to let them measure how much water they are using. The timer displays the number of gallons of water associated with minutes in the shower so that when users are picking a time they are seeing the direct water impact. Hopefully, this will encourage shorter showers and more water saved!
Energy Conservation:
Lights Off Calculator: Asks users to go around the house, and turn off any unnecessary lights. It will then total amount of money saved by the number of lights turned off showing the direct result of their actions.
Food Waste Reduction:
Food Waste Calculator: Allows users to upload their grocery items, and then go back later to check off what was thrown out. This is a way to show how much money and type of food that is wasted. This will hopefully encourage smarter shopping and less food waste
Plastic Waste Reduction:
Remove Plastic Checkbox: Shows users things they can replace in their day to day life with a reusable alternative. Lets users check off once they have replaced all items
Reusable bag reminder: When a user's location is at a store, the app will send a notification reminding them to bring in their reusable bag ( and a fack mask during the pandemic )
How I built it
This app was built using the Swift UI on XCode. This was my first time creating a mobile application and it was a challenge. I am used to building websites, but I felt this product would be better suited in a mobile form allowing us to send the user notifications as reminders to bring a plastic bag to the store, or to turn off the lights at night.
Challenges I ran into
Initially, I set out to create an app with React Native. I have been using React to build websites for some time and thought this hackathon would be a great opportunity to give it a try. Boy was I wrong. I spent almost the entire first day starting and restarting the project. I had my concept flushed out but I was having a problem after problem getting react-native to run on my computer (good news is, I'm now an install troubleshooting pro). After my 7th attempt at using a boilerplate, I decided to put down my computer and take a break, thinking I would try to quickly create a website. When I woke up (early) today I completely switched gears and decided to try to create the app one last time using Swift. I set out to create an app and that's what I was going to do. Luckily I found swift to be a million times easier, and I am very proud to have a product to submit!!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I have an app!!
I may not have all the features I wanted but I created this in an entirely new language, using a program I had opened only a handful of times and actually created a pretty cool app.
What I learned
I learned a lot about react-native, although I never got the product off the ground. Now that I dont have a deadline I would love to go back and try again. I'm confident I can get it to work, and with a framework, I am familiar with. I also learned a ton about Swift and was able to create somewhat of an app!
What's next for Ripple
I would love to complete all the features of Ripple, most importantly the food waste section. I was able to accomplish the receipt scanning portion with React in another project, and I would love to try and tackle it with a mobile device.
Once MVP is completed, I would like to create user accounts to have trackable metrics so users can see how well they are doing on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. I would also like to create more small action items for each category, so users can also pick what best fits their lifestyle, and make the right change for them.

Inspiration
Research has shown that exposure to learning new languages and cultures holds various cognitive benefits. During these difficult times, it is even harder to connect with others and many college students looking forward to studying abroad are distraught as plans are cancelled. Those who learn about others’ backgrounds and cultures are more likely to be aware of global issues and take social action. Classrooms are also becoming increasingly multicultural but at the same time, those who are non-native English speakers must navigate through finding the right resources and understanding social culture of specific areas.
What it does
Addressing the aforementioned issues, this app conveniently connects you to others around the globe by pairing you up with another person (similar to a pen-pal) based on your interests, preferred language, and location. There is also a forum that enables you to post anonymously and answer questions or concerns that can be filtered through keywords, subject, language, and location. A problem that non native English speakers face is understanding perhaps certain slang so this app tailors to this by allowing an outlet for non native English speakers to (anonymously) ask for advice.
How we built it
We used Figma for ideation and design and Xcode for coding the app[Swift].
Challenges we ran into
Pinpointing exactly what we wanted to focus on was a bit difficult since we had to go from a general idea to an app that serves a specific function. It was also difficult to figure out what to use to create our app and to get used to the Xcode interface.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built our first app. We worked well virtually, setting times to meet up and work on the project. We divided the work well. We used Swift for the first time. Our prototype is very similar to our output.
What we learned
Being completely new to mobile app development, we learned a lot about the different types of available software for mobile apps and the basics, such as XCode, Android Studio, and Flutter. We started off wanting to use Flutter to easily build the user interface, but some of our teammates ran into difficulties downloading the software itself. Thus, we shifted our gears into learning Swift to build an iOS app through XCode. While we did not finish the project completely, we learned about how to create multiple storyboards and connect them to a common navigation bar in order to allow each of us to edit our own storyboard for our respective sections. Utilizing the idea of refactoring our project, we were able to avoid merge conflicts as well. We each also learned more about using GitHub, finding that the GitHub Desktop is a great and convenient tool to have since you don’t need to use your terminal to push and pull the repository.
What's next for Discovering Dimensions
Our immediate goal is to finish a complete and functional prototype of Discovering Dimensions, having all the features we wanted to include and basing them on the theme of space and discovery. We plan to implement a more robust and user-friendly Profile section that allows users to customize their profile by adding what languages and cultures they are interested in learning along with personal images. This feature will allow the user themself and others to see if they have any mutual interests. We also wanted to have a security option where the user will have the ability to be anonymous or hide some of their profile details if they do not feel comfortable in sharing it. Additionally, for the matching/connecting section, we want to finish adding a glowing world map where each time the user makes a connection, then a star will show up on the map, pinpointing their connection’s location. Through the matching section, users can also use a filtering option to find new connections. Lastly, through our forum, we hope to allow users to post and interact with different discussion boards that depend on the culture/language that they are interested in learning. From there, users can ask a question or post other details, such as asking for Korean food recommendations or posting photos of their food. We would like to have sponsors for our mission as well as a point-based reward system that incentivizes participation.

FakeCheck
Our Inspiration
We live in an era that has made it possible to spread information at such a high rate that is almost instantaneous. This drastic improvement in technology in recent decades has given almost everyone access to a vast amount of information. Although this is beneficial in many ways, such as people being able to voice their issue and problems and learning about the world around us, the information available is affected by false claims and fake news which often strike hardest at the non-tech-savvy institutions that speak to our history, and the organizations working hard to just make the world a better place. The dangers of widespread misinformation among social media and networks can be easily seen during the current pandemic. For example, Ofcom has found that almost half of UK online adults came across fake news about coronavirus at the beginning of April. Misinformation among our current situation can put peoples’ lives at risk.
Aside from the risks caused by misinformation about COVID-19, many political issues have also been negatively affected by fake news. News and media continue to increasingly polarize situations to increase the disparity between various groups with every major event, revolution, or social-impact movement.
We need to provide a platform for the truth to spread. This problem is global, and so we must think big.
Problems with current solutions
Academic Issues:
Current fake news detectors or rating agencies make use of a few academic scholars with special expertise in their respective areas of study. The high volume of misinformation cannot be processed by these to give a rating. Although you may get a deep analysis of an article or post on social media, you won't have this review done quickly, it won't appeal to the average person, and this method is limited by the physical hours fact-checkers can work.
Cultural & Race-Based Disparities:
The fact is that most fact-checking sites are English-language based only. That means primarily U.S., Canada, and the U.K. based, with support only for those English-speaking communities. People who suffer from the wrath of misinformation, whether it be false health advice, targeted propaganda, or plain frauds often do so in countries where English is not spoken. Therefore, they do not have the privilege of being able to check the validity of their own media in real-time.
Our Solution
Click here for our fully deployed platform to identify fake news
FakeCheck is rating platform built to provide equal access for the truth on the web. With this service, we want to increase the amount of media and news that is fact-checked. This platform will also increase global access to fact-checked news by allowing people with various cultural backgrounds and geographical location to fact check their local media. We hope to achieve these goals with a simple and elegant solution that is FakeCheck.
The Process
The process starts when the users want to find a rating through the truth.
Users have a piece of media they want to check a rating for its reliability or contribute themselves with a rating.
They go to our site and intuitively paste their link into our engine, which is the most prominent feature on our homepage.
If prior crowd-sourced ratings exist, the user immediately sees our curated and published ratings for that media, based on our users' input and proof as shown below.
In the ratings viewing the page, we offer the following pertinent information.
Our published average user ratings.
Information regarding the source such as publisher, type of source, title, and a link to the source itself.
The top three countries where the majority of the ratings have been collected from.
Ability to share and save this source.
Your rating if having given any, ratings from other users showing the two most voted ratings at the alongside our published rating.
A rating trend timeline to let the user know how the rating for this specific source has changed over time.
We prompt the user, if they have the aptitude, to rate the media as well, as long as they have insight that may work in support of the media, or equally, against its truth-fullness, we respect their voice and let them share it. We process their queries and build and internal score we wish to publish.
The user will be able to click the "RATE THIS SOURCE" button to contribute the knowledge they have.
The rating dialogue asks the user the following key questions to determine the truthfulness of this source:
Does this source contain any false claims? If so, how many?
How knowledgeable is the author on the topic of this source?
How strongly did the author support their claims with evidence?
The users can answer these questions with the star rating, each star describing a different level to the answer. They can also justify their ratings in the text box below to help other users understand the rating and increase credibility.
Once our confidence metrics are met, we update a newly published rating for the media We will constantly adapt to make use of the effort and insight of the user-base to republish.
We alert any watchers, or users who gave ratings of newly published updates by us, so they are constantly in the know, and can rely on being kept in the light instead of the dark, on the news, regardless of where they may come from.
We notify users on trending topics, changes to the sources they have rated or updated them on any upvotes or downvotes to their rating.
We provide organizations with insight, based on alerts happening around the world related to fake news detection or negative sentiments and classified to their names to show their brand is recognized by users across the world, helping them improve and adapt.
Our goal is to use this platform to serve the world with a responsive, honest fact-checking platform that is intuitive and easy for everyone to understand regardless of their background. Alongside the public, cultural organizations will also be able to use this platform to share their voices to educate everyone, and above all, maintain and strengthen their online image and awareness.
The Overall Process Flow on Our Site
Sub-Flow 1: User Entry to the Site
Sub-Flow 2: Key Actions Taken to Rate or Upvote/Downvote Media
Sub-Flow 3: Providing Support to Help Grow Our Platform
We have used and hope to use various APIs offered by AWS to create and optimize our platform.
API Management: API Gateway
Storage Management: AWS S3
Keyword Searches: AWS Elastic Search
Database SQL Management: Amazon RDS for SQL Server
Inappropriate Image/Content Recognizer: Amazon Rekognition
Amazon CloudFront
These services allow us to accomplish various tasks to make our platform ready to be released to the public all over the world.
We make income for development and growth by serving personalized ads based on users' tastes in the news - something that is incredibly powerful, as well as charging for-profit businesses to gain value-multiplying insight from our platform on how their brands and banners are perceived.
The Competition & Our Judging Criteria
Future of FakeCheck
As the amount of information online increases, it becomes exponentially difficult to fact them all. We hope to use the prizes to help our platform develop a reach a wide range of audience. As something that is so under-implemented among the tech and news society today, this concept has the potential to strike rapid growth in the rating space for media, and help mitigate the issues caused by fake news, by empowering the individual user to check their media easily.
What Winning This Competition Means to Us
We worked on and developed this project with the following goals in mind:
Creation of quality idea to help people
: Coming up with a viable idea to fix any issue is the key to a successful project. We created with this platform with the intent to provide a simple and elegant solution for people in need of truth and education. Our goal is to improve our idea to better fit the challenges that are ahead of us.

Lift Off: A platform to educate and inspire young professional women to be conscious of their finances in a positive and fun way! Built by women, for women :,)
We aim to lift off from financial norms, inequities, and shortcomings stemming from gender (and it also went with the astrology theme)
Landing page:
We started with a very plain grey color scheme and felt we needed something brighter and more fun on the eyes. Since saving money should be fun!
Our main picture of the happy bunch also uses these fun colors
We also wanted to incorporate the word “lift” into our introduction to tie everything together
Account page:
Here a user can add to their Lift Off account balance after setting a goal in the form of a dollar amount. A user can also see the history of their Lift Off account balance as well as share/export it with others.
Resources page:
We included a resources page with more information on how to continue to stay informed about financial wellness. The first resource is a link to a quiz that gives your financial well being score which was created by the consumer financial protection bureau. There’s also a toolkit created by that same organization that helps people get started with caring about their financial well being. We also found a couple more articles with money-saving tips and a guide written by the New York Times to help women fairly negotiate their salary.
In the future, we’re hoping to add even more resources.
Team page:
Thought it was important to mention the young professional women who built this app. We are women who empower other young professionals :) we want to show that we are here for you and understand this journey!
We range from current undergrad to recent grads!
We decided to go with sailor moon avatars for this app given that the spectra general theme is space. The venus and earth theme names also inspired me to go along with these. We believe that this is an extra
There is also more to this than the aesthetics. Sailor Moon is an icon for young girls who strive to be independent-emotionally, and financially.

Dirty water is dangerous
In
Africa
, more than
315,000 children
die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. Globally, deaths from diarrhoea caused by unclean drinking water are estimated at 502,000 each year, most of them of young children.
Every year
575,000 people
die from water related diseases. This is equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every hour. Most of these people are children (2.2 million).
Unclean water and poor sanitation have claimed more lives over the past 100 years than any other cause. The water-crisis claims more lives through disease than any war through guns.
844 million
people lack access to safe drinking water. This is more than the combined populations of the United States, Brazil, Japan, Germany, France and Italy.
What it does
It basically calculates the cleanliness of the water with the help of its machine learning model that I made, It than shows the results indicating how clean or dirty the water is.
The Covid-19 Detector is a complementary thing that I added just to show the power and usefulness of AI. It is currently in the beta version.
How I built it
I built it using Flutter, with flutter I have the capability to create both iOS and Android apps at the same time hence making the availability vase. At the back-end I used Tensorflow lite, to give my app the capability to use machine learning models in offline modes. Model is made using Trainable Machine powered by google cloud.
Challenges I ran into
Being a solo developer I ran through many Challenges but I succeeded on my goals and I am happy to deliver this prototype on time.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am really happy to contribute this project of mine for the entire people of the world so that they can have access to clean drinking water
What I learned
I learned a lot through out making this app as it was a really challenging task
What's next for Clean Water/Covid-19 Detector App
If everything is going good with this app I would really like to release this app to the entire population, but before that I would have to give some more minor improvements to this app.

Inspiration
This is inspired from the global COVID-19 pandemic of the understanding that many countries were not properly equipped with PPE equipment, needing contactless payments and contact tracing for COVID-19 without patients record being lost due to hospitals being overwhelmed by number of patient admittances.
What it does
The mobile web application platform uses the Ethereum wallet in blockchain technology, with the ability for contact tracing, contactless tracing and patient files come immediately (instead of private patient history getting lost). This saves a lot of time for hospitals and government officials.
How we built it
The team used the Ethereum wallet Metamask on the Ropsten/Testnet and it's programming languages Truffle, Solidity, Filecoin/IPFS. We also used Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS.
Challenges we ran into
Not enough time to build into the full production mode with the Google Cloud services for the databases. Marketing this implementation to older audiences for the usage of blockchain technology.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
To get this done all night straight!? Learning something new about different opinions of people during survey conducted. Also, to get some things done in a very short amount of time.
What we learned
Team members must try to help each other out because not everyone has the same skillset as you do. Younger people seem to be able to adapt to different kinds of technology than older people, and therefore have put that our team will be doing free/low-cost education classes for anybody ranging from those uneducated about technology in the developing world, elderly/senior/disabled people, government officials/hospital workers/researchers.
What's next for Team Caturday - Blockchain Healthcare
Keep updating the GitHub repository to make this functional as we ran out of time and to see if can market this!

This is the architecture of our project.
Another logo design. They're all so beautiful!
And another one!
(Note: Please look at the first image we've uploaded alongside the video for a feature we missed in the demo.
Inspiration
Although the new cases of COVID-19 are terrible, our team noticed that the swathes of unemployed persons in the United States affected by quarantine parallels the Great Depression of the 1920s and might take years to fix.
The people affected by job loss aren't usually white-collar workers: fast food employees, cashiers, and mall workers are being put out of their jobs by the millions.
However, the one shining beacon is that these workers are highly adaptable and can fit many job descriptions! We realized that the best way to find new,
compatible
jobs for these workers is by analyzing soft skills in their resume that they've gained through experience.
What it does
Our application allows users to simply drag-n-drop their .pdf resume onto our site. From there, our NLP model will tag its soft skills, search for jobs that use those skills in a massive dataset of jobs and Google Jobs, and then recommend those jobs to those employees.
How we built it
The following summarizes the steps taken to provide smart job recommendations to applicants based on their uploaded resume:
When the resume is uploaded onto our website as a PDF, we extract relevant information from the resume, such as the applicant’s skills and experience and parse them as text.
We trained a Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory Network (BiLSTM) from scratch to categorize job descriptions into job titles like “business analyst” and “accountant”. With this model, we then predict the top 5 job titles that the skills and experiences listed in the resume is likely to fall under. This helps reduce the number of requests we have to make to the LinkedIn API, while still broadening the options of the applicant and not restricting them to a single job title.
We query our MongoDB to see if we have stored the job listings for each of the 5 job titles in our database. If not, we make a request to the LinkedIn API to get job postings that are relevant to the top 5 job titles found.
With the job postings, we use a state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing model, the Universal Sentence Encoder, to encode the job descriptions into high dimensional vectors and capture the nuances behind each word in the description.
We also encode the resume information into high dimensional vectors and use cosine similarity to measure the similarity of the applicant’s resume with the job description.
We return the top 10 most similar job postings that match the applicant’s skill sets.
Impact of our Project
We hope our project can help ease people back into jobs following the COVID-19 pandemic by providing them with more avenues to look for jobs. We hope this will simplify the job seeking process for them and open them up to more opportunities, both in terms of finding new suitable job titles and also finding more relevant job postings that are suited to their individual experiences and soft skills through the power of machine learning.
Challenges we ran into
Finding a suitable dataset -- datasets containing job postings and resumes are difficult to find as they are not commonly used in machine learning. Furthermore, the dataset we found was noisy so we had to do data preprocessing to clean it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we lacked on the frontend, we made up heavily on the backend with not one but two machine learning models! We were surprised to see that our BiLSTM model worked really well despite the limited training data, achieving over 90% accuracy on the test set.
What we learned
Our team had to do a lot of research on the structure of .pdf files in order to extract _ relevant _ information from it.
What's next for ResuMatch

Help others succeed by providing the areas you are experienced in and ready to chat with others about
Get connected via a fully-featured in-app chat with image support and read receipts so that you can have a detailed conversation

A community focused on real professionals willing to help
Inspiration
With all the damage COVID has had on the world and careers, we were trying to solve a few key problems/patterns we saw:
Many people posting on LinkedIn messages of support and "reach out to me if you need help" but not having a good platform to really reach the people beyond their network that actually need support
People that need help having to go through the friction of finding individuals and cold-messaging them only to get ignored countless times
Forum or Quora-based help being very general given the public and async nature of the conversation
Professionals being willing to help on an ongoing basis without a good platform to do so unless they get randomly pinged on LinkedIn or have a strong social media presence. However they also want to limit their time commitment to something that works with their schedule.
We wanted to solve this by building a platform that essentially automatically matches people to someone in the community that can answer their question and help. It is essentially a two sided marketplace with mentors and mentees. Mentors can turn on and off matching when they have spare time to help, and specify the types of topics or job functions they think they can support. The system will throttle requests to ensure they aren't flooded, as well as give them controls to accept only the requests they think are relevant. Mentees simply put in a request for what they want help with and the system handles finding them the right match. The actual help is all conducted via a chat session. We hope this will democratize mentorship, giving everyone an equal opportunity, as well as a chance to form bonds and lasting connections.
What it does
Firstly, the user must create an account and build a basic profile. We allow you to provide a profile photo, pick from a large database of companies and career tracks, as well as share a freeform text summary of yourself. This forms the core of your identity on the platform.
Once in the app, there are three main flows you can go down:
Turn on your mentoring settings. If you are an experienced professional and willing to help others, it is as simple as enabling "mentoring" in the app and providing the details on who you would like to mentor. This allows you to specify which career tracks and topics you are ready to chat about. Once it is on, the system will automatically match you with inbound requests for help. You won't get a second request until you've interacted with the first one, so you don't have to worry about your chats getting flooded. If you're feeling swamped and don't have the time, simply flip the switch off on the main screen and you won't be matched with anyone. The goal is to make it as easy as possible to help the community.
Ask for help by creating a connection request. You can specify the topic and career track you are looking to talk about, provide a short blurb describing your request and even specify a specific company you want to be connected to. The system will then automatically start trying to find you a match based on your criteria and the mentors that are currently available. When a mentor receives your request, they have the option to accept it or pass on it if they don't think they are well suited to help based on the information you provided. If a mentor doesn't respond fast enough the system will automatically move the request onto other mentors until we find you someone. The goal here is to make getting help only a few simple steps for the user, and let the technology handle the heavy lifting.
There is also a lobby section where you can have general public conversations with others. Chats exist for each of the career tracks available in the app allowing you to connect quickly for casual or group conversations with others in your field.
We believe the best way to provide support is through a direct conversation rather than anonymous asynchronous messages or emails. Chat-based conversation also encourages more lightweight communication that is more personal and creates less pressure to be absolutely polished which may discourage some from getting help. For that reason, we built the app around chats. Once a match is created, everything occurs inside of a chat thread. We built the chat infrastructure from scratch to cater to our needs, and it supports text and image messages, read receipts and push notifications.
With a versatile platform that makes helping others and getting help a few clicks away, we hope to lower the barrier for everyone in the professional community to come together and help each other succeed.
How we built it
Given a large network is important to the success of this project, we needed this app to be available on both Android and iOS with minimal effort. We chose to build the app purely in Dart/Flutter so that we can deploy the same codebase on both and iterate quickly.
To also further streamline the amount of languages we needed to write the system in, as well as to use this as an opportunity to learn, we made the decision to also try to build the server in Dart as well. Server side Dart support is still in very early stages but we came across the Aqueduct framework which we used as the foundation of our system.
To support the chat infrastructure, we integrated heavily with Firebase. Firebase Storage is used to store the images and profile photos, while Firestore is used to facilitate realtime updates to the application to allow for a fast chat experience without needing to poll the server. Firebase Cloud Messaging is then used to power our push notifications.
The server is split into three main components, a frontend, a backend and a matcher. The components all communicate with each other using Google PubSub. They all also share a common Postgres database.
Finally, the whole system is deployed using Kubernetes on Google Cloud allowing for easy scalability of each tier separately. We utilized free versions of monitoring systems such as Instrumental and Sentry to enable cloud logging and realtime monitoring to round out our deployment operations.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into countless technical challenges on both the client and server side. Having no knowledge of Dart or Flutter prior to embarking on this project, that was a challenge on its own. Server side support for Dart being very nascent meant that many libraries were not available for some of the frameworks we needed, and we decided to build them out ourselves. We debated several times reverting back to a language like Python that is more commonly used here, but stuck with Dart as the learning experience made it worth it and we saw promising performance from it.
Aside from the technical challenges we faced, the product experience itself was a challenge to shape. The big questions we kept facing were "how do we reduce the number of steps involved?" and "how do we make this work for everyone?". Different careers can each have very specific needs so we struggled to distill things down to a set of key steps and actions that we felt would benefit the most people. We started off with the tech industry (which was also a challenge to get a readily available data set to use for both companies and career tracks) and then expanded from there.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Fully released application on both Android and iOS
Server backend that is able to handle high QPS (based on our load tests) without noticeable slowdown in response time
Deployment system that is able to scale the system easily as our community hopefully grows
Visually pleasing, especially considering this was built by only engineers, user experience that is easy to use
Fully-functional chat system built from scratch
What we learned
We went into this project having never written a line of Dart before. That was a fun challenge to overcome and we learned a lot in doing so. It had been a while since we had taken a project from scratch to release on both Android and iOS, and those processes have changed a lot over the years. Navigating those release processes was a learning process all on its own.
While building the project we also spent a lot of time talking to friends and reading through LinkedIn to understand the challenges and pain points of mentorship right now. That was an eye-opening experience especially as we talked to people in other fields we were less familiar with such as education, medicine and finance. While we haven't fully catered to all their needs in this initial launch, we learned a lot that will hopefully help us shape the future of the service.
What's next for Nadeeni - Find Professional Success
Our ability to help is directly proportional to the size of our network. We need a strong and healthy network of professionals onboarded in the app, and that will be one of our first priorities. Based on the types of conversations we see being struck up we hope to also add a few other features that can enable new ways of providing help:
Voice notes: Since we are fully mobile based and some of the conversations can be lengthy in nature, providing a quick way to send a voice note might encourage busy members to provide more detailed responses without the fatigue of typing on a small keyboard.
File sending: One big topic we see in other networks such as LinkedIn is resume critique. By allowing file sending we can start to enable some of that within the app as well and potentially build an experience more tailored towards resumes specifically.
There is a big social element to providing help as well, with people wanting to spread the word to others about help they received or have given. We would like to better integrate that into our app experience to encourage our community members to help grow the community organically.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many low skill workers have lost their jobs resulting in record breaking numbers. The civilian unemployment rate is
currently at 10.2%.
That leaves
16.3 million people unemployed.
As a result, The Mad Hackers decided to tackle this extreme issue which has lost the primary source of income for many families. It is essential for these workers not have this vulnerability right now and in the future and as a result we have created LEAN to help solve this issue.
What it does
LEAN has 2 main components: an admin panel and a user panel. The admin panel allows the company to upload information and see current candidates. We chose to not make this an aggregator because the employer has to be willing to have employees without a college degree - merely online certificates and whatever projects they come up with from those online courses. Employers get the benefit of having a qualified employee for a lower starting price, whereas employees get higher paying jobs than what they already have and once they leave the company, they can use that experience to catapult themselves. The user panel allows the user to get information about various jobs that are around, like a standard job-finding app.
However, what makes LEAN stand out is that it allows users to learn the skills from MOOCs, which you can search for within the app itself.
LEAN also helps you look at
job trends
with a
built-in prediction view
, filled with interactive visualizations and graphs.
You can find yourself a temporary job within LEAN too! Just go to the low-skill jobs pane, and find something that interests you. That way, you can make money while learning and preparing for your next job. You can also get money by going to the funding pane to take a look at different loan and scholarship opportunities (not included in video - added after recording and submission - will be pushed to GitHub soon).
LEAN also has a
forum for users to be able to talk with each other about their experiences and support each other.
LEAN also has an integrated
Projections tab
for jobs in the workforce for insight of the future
LEAN also has a
Courses tab
which allows you to input your courses and it will use an API in order to retrieve courses.
How I built it
The Admin panel was build using Vue.js. We used buefy to create a simple but elegant theme that made development both quick and stylist. Then, we use Google Cloud Firestore to manage our data in the cloud so that information could eventually be read by the prospective employee.
The course search integration was built in much of the same way, linking to Classpert to leverage their huge database of MOOCs across over 30 websites. This was then integrated into the application.
The job trends panel was custom-built using Datawrapper to create interactive visualizations, using data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. These panes where then embedded into the application.
The forum was created using tribe.so, an application similar to discourse. We chose this because it has a lot of features and is styled extremely well. We linked that into the application similarly to others.
The react native app was created using several apis and features. For the Home page, we used Google Cloud FireStore to store and retrieve data to manage the employer/admin and user interfaces. This would allow the posts from the employer on the web, to be posted on the react native app. For UI, we used react-native-base which allowed for more customizations than we previously had in order to provide the app a more premium and modern feel. For the courses tab, we created a page using an API provided by ClassPert in order to get the course data retrieval. We used react-native-maps in order to create the maps interface and find the current location of the user and display it. Additionally, the API provided by Indeed.com allowed us to retrieve temporary jobs within queries we passed through it. For the forum page, we used tribe.so and Web-View in order to integrate the forum into the application and make it readily modifiable by users. For the design tabs and the cool animation, I used react native navigation material tab navigators which allowed for the rich animations.
Challenges I ran into
There were challenges in implementing the UI on the RN App due to deprecations and Dependency errors.
There were challenges with GitHub not allowing files to be pushed correctly
There were challenges figuring out how to access certain datapoint
There were challenges with getting image uploading for the admin panel (logo).
There were challenges with making sure that data was being worked with properly, as sometimes, the views themselves would have impediments blocking us for hours.
What I learned
I learned how to manage time, how to work efficiently, how to not procrastinate and how to work together with multi-platform concepts which I had never implemented before.
What's next for LEAN
We hope to implement this app into the google play and iOS app stores to help those currently in need of such an app. We plan on styling better in order to get a more professional design. Additionally, we hope to add more features allowing for the user to connect to the employer more easily. We have many other ideas that we wish to implement, however time is one constraint that will always limit us but yet pushes us to work our hardest.
We would like to thank these hackathons we participated in for giving us the ability to demonstrate our skills and also challenging us to push them. We both found it to be a very valuable experience.

According to the Washington Post, 100,000 shops have closed forever. In addition, many businesses have laid off employees because they have not received enough money if it all. This is very unfortunate as many of these shops are small, family-owned, mom and pop shops, who use this money as a main source of income. After witnessing our friend's mother file for bankruptcy due to a lack of business, we understood the severity of the COVID-19 economic crisis. From a survey we conducted, we found out that 41 out of 50 people would use aidBiz, and 36 out of 50 people were unaware of how many small businesses have been affected.
What it does
aidBiz is a free app that addresses the problem of unemployment and business shutdowns by connecting businesses to their customers in real-time. As of right now, many small businesses like salons, nails spas, and pet grooming shops are closed. They are not making any revenue, but they still need to pay bills and employees to stay afloat. Therefore, through aidBiz, they can have customers purchase future services for discounted prices. Companies can use the money to stay afloat.
aidBiz works in three parts:
1). Allows businesses to offer their services in the future.
2). Customers can purchase future services in real-time to implement once the business opens.
3). Businesses can stay afloat and customers get discounted prices for future services that they would have had to pay full price for.
Our target audience is businesses and anyone who wants discounted services.
How we built it
Our app was built with the help of Xcode, Swift, Firebase, cocoapods, and PayPal. Our app is fully functional. This is the link to look at the code we have used:

Challenges we ran into
As beginners in code, we found Swift far from easy. We spend hours on end coding together and working as a team to get our app done. We ran into a myriad of problems within our code. One of our prime problems was linking our app to firebase and creating a functional purchasing system.
In addition to that, we wanted to create an app that was different by providing a larger platform for small businesses. While some businesses implement future orders, they do not have a platform dedicated to just future orders, nor do customers know which businesses are offering such orders. Therefore, we wanted to create aidBiz so that we could connect customers to businesses.
Another impediment we ran into was customer trust. If a business was to shut down or permanently close, the customer would not be able to use their discounted future purchases. To solve this issue, we decided to validate businesses and have them sign legal documents to ensure that they will not cheat customers. In addition, any future purchase will have an expiration date that follows the guidelines listed:
The start date will be noted as when the business re-opens.
The end date will be noted as one month after the business re-opens.
In the event of a business shutdown forever, we plan on having the company reimburse customers for their future services they were supposed to provide. If a business cannot adhere to these terms, then they are not given permission to use our app.
Features
aidBiz includes the following features
1). Businesses can post services.
2). Customers can make future purchases.
3). Discounted prices for future purchases.
4). Simple user interface.
5). In-app payment.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of learning how to code through swift on Xcode within a short period of time. We are also proud of the fact that we were able to create a fully functioning app and debug it on our own. Above all, we are proud to have created a solution that can help thousands of those who are unemployed.
What we learned
All of our challenges taught and helped us become better at Swift. One major thing that we learned was how to code and design the UI of an IOS app. In addition, we learned about the challenges small businesses are facing due to COVID-19 and we realized that small businesses cannot triumph over these impediments without the aid of their community. Using Xcode was a learning experience on its own, and learning swift from scratch was another experience with its own set of problems. Nonetheless, we learned how to delegate work, problem solve remotely and learn Swift.
What's next for aidBiz
1). We plan to continue on with aidBiz by
2). Expanding our platform to all of America.
3). Expanding our payment methods.
4). Marketing aidBiz to make it well-known.
5). Releasing a beta-test app on September 10’2020.
6). Releasing a community-approved app to the app store before November 5’2020.
7). Hiring backend developers to maintain aidBiz.
In the future, we will register aidBiz as a non-profit and we will take a 1% deduction from companies using our platform for maintenance and customer safety. With the funds, we can hire backend developers, business and customer relationship managers, and pay for maintenance fees.

Food and Job security is very important, especially at the time of Pandemic, and Challenges for Farmers like Farming tools which are not affordable for small scale farmers, at the same time migrant workers moving back to villages because of Unemployment is a big issue and its a big chunk of population which is migrant labour in Asia. Having farming background also inspire us to make something for farmers as because of them we are not sleeping hungry and we would hope to keep it that way.
What it does
There are 2 parts of our Project :
1. Simply a Mobile application which collaborates farmer to share their resources including workforce so it can help unemployed people.
2. Another part is an ambitious idea ( but with working prototype ) which also provides AI based surveillance to farms and predict dangers like Locust attack , fire and intrusion as well.
How we built it
We are 2 enthusiast , one is specialized in Gaming , AI , mobile application and another in Application architecture , IoT and micro services. So we have recently made this idea and at last min i saw an opportunity to share here as well , so we have joined this Hackathon.
Challenges we ran into
One of us was new to Cloud Services and another one into IoT, while developing we learned a lot .
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have made good use of technology for our Food safety and supply chain. we would like to make collaboration part free to encourage people to share their resources and get jobs.
What we learned
How to build large scale Long Range communication with AI on EDGE.
What's next for Green Robin
We will be first customer our self , as we are also having farms and after doing POC on real ground, we will launch app and devices as well.

Inspiration
In our local area we saw the helplessness of casual workers who do not have the luxury of telecommuting. They also cannot go door to door looking for work due to social distancing restrictions. They can only stay at home in hope of being called for work by someone who knows them. When we questioned them further they disclosed to us that most online platforms available offer employment opportunities only to those who have formal school certificates. The few agencies and middlemen that didn't require certification ended up exploiting them.
We also had friends and neighbors who were in need of casual services(such as laundry and basic repairs) and could not go out in search of them. So they had to go great lengths to find a reliable causal worker.
This is when we decided to to link these two groups together who are both in need of each other through our platform.
What it does.
The app serves as a platform to connect employers with work to be done to casual laborers who are in need of jobs. The respective users i.e. the employer or the casual laborers first need to register from the app then the administrators(the KaziLink team) needs to verify the user's details from the admin panel and until the user is verified they can't access their account. Once the user is verified they can then have access to operate their account.
The employer has the ability to post a job after setting the job description, category, timeline, address and finally the budget. Various casual laborers near the location of the job will receive a notification about the new job posting and they can then apply for the job. The employer then has to select the suitable candidate for the job from the various applications. The employer and casual laborers can then make arrangements to meet. After the job is completed the employer can choose to pay the laborer using cash payment or via mobile payment from the app. The employer then rates the employee and write a short review of their quality of work.
How we built it.
The team first embarked on gathering the requirement of the project then we did prototyping to get a better understanding of the app user interface and also add more requirements and check the technical feasibility of the project. After the prototyping we each took a part of the project that we were comfortable on working on and then merge the project later on. The first part of the project that we tackled was writing the server-side code then setting up the various databases i.e. MySQL and Firebase and then testing out the various REST endpoints via a http client i.e. Postman.
After the server-side had been completed after passing through various iterations since we were using agile methodology, we started developing the android client app. The android client had two app flavors i.e. the employer app and the employee/worker app. We started with the employer app and each of us took a portion of the app that we would tackle then merge the code base via CVS afterwards. We did the same with the employee app.
After we completed writing the apps’ code, we did some manual test and unit test for critical parts of the app that we had issues with during the coding process. We carried out beta testing with a group of five individuals who worked in various casual jobs fields. We recorded their feedback and recommendations. We did some minor changes as per the beta testers recommendations which was just lowering the level of abstraction in some parts of the app.
Challenges I ran into
Technical and network issues which are slowed down work and were at times demotivating

Our goal was to relieve the embarrassment that students have when asking questions. At the same time, this helps teachers make their lessons more effective real-time!
We wanted to prevent students who are simply scared from reaching out to ask any questions; and with online education on the rise, this issue has become more urgent and relevant. We introduce the idea of anonymity in questions and feedback to help both teachers in their teaching and improve the participation of students in an educational environment.
Our project structure idea was adapted from the intuition behind the popular educational game tool known as Kahoot. The idea was to use a simple code to connect to a classroom while maintaining anonymity from the eyes of the educator. Maintaining anonymity helps protect students privacy in cases where they do not want to reveal their positions to each other. We brought this same idea of anonymity to the idea of asking questions in both a physical and virtual classroom setting.
Do you want to continue being hesitant from asking questions in your virtual or physical classrooms? Or do you want to help revolutionize the world's current education system?
If you chose to help us revolutionize this system...
Help us promote edfusion to make it widely accessible to empower students of all kinds and improve the quality of your teachers.
What it does
Today, we present a profound project to stop all student confusion in academic lessons and lectures. At the same time we will be trying to improve the quality of the lessons and lectures given by educators.
Especially, today, with coronavirus spreading, students are more afraid to reveal their questions, answers, and thoughts openly over virtual meetings such as Zoom.
When was the last time you were too embarrassed to ask a question in class? Or if you are an educator, have you ever found students disliking your class or not participating enough?
You're not alone. Never feel these fears or insecurities again.
The answer is simple: edfusion
How I built it
We have 2 parts to this education system:
Student Web App
Educator Desktop App
Student Web App
link
NodeJS has frameworks for both mongodb and expressjs. ExpressJS takes the data from MongoDB Atlas and passes it to HTML, CSS, JS static files. The data in the form of JSON is passed with HTTP requests using POST, GET, PUT, etc making this a REST API. NodeJS is simply run with npm start which ran nodemon in our case for providing immediate updates to the server. The Express server runs on a local port of 8080 to serve the files and access the routes for the api, but it is set to dynamically update to the cloud's process.env.PORT. The student web app is hosted entirely on heroku.
Educator Desktop App
link
MongoDB has a stream reader that notifies the codebase when there is an update in the database. Upon listening for database updates, the code must update the desktop UI. To do this, data is sent to the built in NodeJS backend in main.js which then communicates via ipc (unlike REST or HTTP from our webapp's API) to the renderer.js. This allows for JS to update dynamically based on changes to the backend. The front end ElectronJS technology is changing its graphs and charts with Chart.js. We also have a notifications UI to update questions which educators can interact with on a computer or SMARTBoard for physical/virtual lessons.
Challenges I ran into
Limiting Database Calls
One of the biggest problems we ran across was getting live updates while limiting the amount of database calls we make. To do this, we had to listen to the database for a general update and find the specific part that was updated.
Closing Database Connections
Another issue we ran across was the amount of unclosed database connections we had come across. We needed to close all the connections we had to MongoDB to avoid overloading it and crashing it several times.
Handling Notifications
We ran across an issue of having multiple notifications appear for each teacher that decides to run a classroom creating a decentralized network which was unintended. We had to check for notifications and their relation to the teacher in order to prevent unnecessary notifications to other users.
Using Developmental Servers
Another developmental struggle we had to overcome was running two node servers to test both the student app and the educator desktop app. One cannot work without the other, so both had to be running to navigate the entire application.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
1. A working web app with animations
We were able to construct a fully working web application that connects to and talks to the MongoDB Atlas. Within the landing page, we are most proud of the downward flow of the landing page. This brings more interactivity and attraction to our product.
2. A working desktop app with notifications
Like the web app, we have various animations on the educators application. We also have working notifications so that teachers who teach with Zoom ScreenShare or a SMARTBoard can see questions live during a lesson. This can help clear confusion mid-lesson through a desktop notification.
3. Scalability
The MongoDB Atlas allows for live usage of our webapp and desktop app. The student platform is able to communicate with the educators platform anywhere with a proper internet connection. Our education system can handle any amount of classrooms and students, allowing for widespread growth around the world. With paid expansion, we can grow the storage of the database to unimaginable limits allowing for more accessibility.
What I learned
Cloud Based HTTP
We learned how to host and serve html files with an express server. JS files that work with html makes HTTP requests with the express.js to get data from the database. We had to put our files in a folder called public. We also had to setup our server start configuration in package.json. This would allow heroku to host our server. Heroku will not allow you to make calls to localhost, so you need to access its own port on the cloud with lines like process.env.PORT rather than an explicit local machine port.
MongoDB Pool Overflows
Another thing that we learned is the importance of closing our connections via mongodb. We need to call mongo.close() at the end of each JS Promise. Otherwise, the pool will overflow with requests. This would cause the entire database to crash. We also found out that we could allow any ip address to access the mongodb rather than a single ip one. Finally, I realized with MongoDB Atlas, the data is accessible by everyone so handling data can be difficult sometimes from multiple users.
What's next for Education through edfusion
We believe this education system is nearly production ready. We have several things we want to do before deploying it to be used. There are several ideas for improvement as well.
A New Database
One of the things that we plan to do is to replace the MongoDB database with an SQL structure with a much more affordable and scalable DB such as Google Sheets API and Google Drive API. In this way, storage is in the hands of the educators themselves to keep track of their own histories rather than relying on us, the developers.
More factors
Additionally, we would like to add more factors to the webapp and desktop app such as a boring scale. In this way, teachers and educators will know how interesting their lectures actually are. Combined with knowing the questions, reviews, and confusion of their lectures, with a boring scale, lectures can be much more engaging.
Ratings for teachers
Similarly, inspired by Rate My Professors, we can also post teacher improvements or qualities and reviews on websites so other students can decide whether they want to take the class. This education system can create a marketplace styled platform for learning about teaching options while helping students understand content and helping teachers understand how they can improve.
Clean Code
edfusion also has lots of spaghetti code on the desktop side. We plan to clean all of it up to enable future developers to continue developing on this product.
UI
edfusion was created with an initiative on having a strong user interface. We intend to continue improving our user interface in the following ways: making elements more material like, possibly adding sound effects, and adding more animations. With better UI, we can encourage feasibility in the usage of this education system while also making the learning much more engaging.
reCaptcha to Prevent Bots
Although we initially planned to use reCaptcha to handle Selenium bots from trying to misuse the system to deploy numerous questions to the teacher, we found out that it takes time for Google to approve the reCaptcha security system for a site. Therefore, given the approval time, we could not implement it in our web app.

In India, Agriculture industry contributes 17% of the GDP but since the outbreak of COVID 19, many services are shut down so the farmers are mostly effected and unable to earn their daily earning due to imposed lockdown , which makes their survival difficult and even if they want to sell , they need to go crowded places which risk their health and high chances of getting infected. due to this economy is directly affected.
Personally one of my friend's father is a farmer whos life depends on daily earning by selling their vegetable on the market .due to this current situation their financial condition has been totally effected .which inspired our team to find a solution for this . and this is how we came out with a solution.
What it does
Our solution is service-based, here we develop a platform(website) where farmers, transportation services, markets are connected. where farmers can sell their crops or products online through our dedicated website and application (android, iOS) based on the order made by the consumer . in order to ensure social distancing norms and to cover a large segment of the customer at a time, we are implementing STREET DELIVERY TOKEN BASED SYSTEM (SDTS) where the consumer will be provided token number and a time slot to collect the order safely.

The problem CAREBOAT - EASING RESCUE TEAM OPERATIONS. solves
The application helps in effective flood rescue which is the need of the hour. We tried to make it more innovative and make it stand out from the crowd by including the following features :
User friendly Design and UI with a hassle-free navigation through pages.
Feeding and storing admin’s details for future references.
Showing exact longitude and latitude of the affected places so that personnels can be assigned to each one of them faster.
How we built the project
The localities also show the flood level strength which tells which area has a higher priority and where more personnels should be assigned.
The app also makes task-assigning to the teams more innovative and easy and it shows all the required information and also the active and inactive state of the teams.
It uses google maps view to find areas of a city which are most certain to be affected by flood.
What we learned?
It has a log-in page which feeds information of the admin and stores it in firebase for future references.
A location feeding page inputs attributes of the location where the flood has came for searching affected areas.
The next page shows the most affected areas of the entered location based on elevation in a decreasing order. We can also view the same information in the Google Maps services provided.
The latitudes and longitudes of the affected areas are also shown for exact location finding.
The final page assigns tasks to the personnels in an efficient manner based on their strengths and acclamations.
And much more!
What does the app do?
THE APP BASICALLY EASES THE TASK OF THE ADMIN EASY AS EARLIER, HE HAD TO MANUALLY SELECT DEPLOYMENT TARGET AREA AND TEAM BUT NOW OUR APP MAKES IT EASY FOR HIM AS THE PRIORITY LEVEL AND FLOOD DANGER LEVEL IS VISIBLE TO HIM.
THE APPLICATION CAN BE MADE ON A HIGH SCALE FOR ALL THE TEAM LEADERS AND ADMINS OF NDRF AND RESCUE OPERATION TEAMS WHICH WILL MAKE THE WORK FASTER, EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE.
IT’S HIGH TIME.
WE NEED RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY TO EFFICIENTLY RESCUE FLOOD OPERATIONS IN INDIA.
Challenges we ran into
We found it hard to implement Google Elevation API in the app which gives elevation of the locations in the recycler items automatically and therefore danger level. We were getting null values there.
We were finding it hard to implement ML and AI in our app as being sophomore students, we don't have much knowledge about it.
We could not implement Mattic API as we haven't explored the blockchain technology yet but we have planned to implement it in future versions.
We could not implement Google Satellite View in the app but we implemented Google Maps, Geocoder and Google Location API in the application.
OUR WAY OUT OF THE HURDLES :
We implemented the APIs' by learning at the moment from documentations and Google Developer's console.
We watched YouTube videos and lectures on the spot and implemented the APIs' successfully in our app.
We focused on making the navigation, UI and UX easier and hassle-free for making the operations faster.
The design of the app was made using Figma and Adobe XD by taking inspirations from Dribbble and Icons8 to make the UI and design of the app more user-friendly and engaging.

My Story of Building this Platform / Web App
Idea Inception
The idea of building such a platform came into my mind when I was on a trip via train. I saw many children begging and lonely, I asked one of those innocent children about themselves and their family, most of them were very shy and did't know even their parents. I than began my research on the this situation I facts I found were astonishing -
Results
Each year, one lakh children go missing in India — that’s one child every eight minutes. And despite the notable efforts of some, a missing child rarely comes home.
Even if these children are seen it is not reported by a person either due to non-identification, fear of getting stuck in police chaos etc.
Solution
The unavailability of an application which helps search a lost child with the help of the photo of lost child inspired me to develop an application which will use image recognition algorithms to match the lost child image with found child image accurately and then will notify the guardian/parent. This also considerably reduces the time for the relevant information to reach the affected citizen.The information supplied by the citizen would be made available for public view after quick moderation, thereby saving them valuable time.
I have created an application where any citizen can register with the portal and provide information about a missing or sighted child, without waiting to complete the legal formalities.
How I Built It and Challenges I Faced
I have built the back-end it on Python as it requires Image Recognition, I am a Data Science enthusiast so in decided to use machine learning algorithms like KNN and Convolutional Neural Networks but the end deploying such a bulky algorithm was out of expertise so I ended up using some good Python Libraries for the same.
For storing the information I have used MongoDB for ease of storing and images and variety data.
For the front-end part as I am familiar with the Angular very well and its ease of conversion to a PWA
The demo website is hosted on the Google Firebase.
The App will send an email to the respective parent/guardian if the child is found

Inspiration
Earnings are actuators for expenses, but today we need to respond to climate change, transmission dynamics and the need to save, conserve and sustain life. The emergence possible depends upon each Goodwill at work element, whether a business, an organization, a governing authority or even a network that has been delivering or serving us since times immemorial (the time being what was easily possible before the current health crisis, late 2019 and 2020)
What it does
Detail 1: The Goodwill at Work framework includes in it different elements to take on the call to respond and implement actuators for the problem on hand.
Detail 2: The actuators are as follows
2.1. A Join Us strategy, to invite businesses to register as part of the Goodwill at Work framework
2.2. Self-registration of those seeking employment or welfare into a Zen Genome Centre
2.3. The Goodwill at Work framework will then use the Zen Genome information, to assess the need for
a. People welfare systems
b. LifeWise Network activation
c. Successful organizational catalysis, business model sensitization and initiation of employment theories
Detail 3: The information gathered could be made part of a Cloud, that serves to help implement additional or further Contingency planning
Detail 4: The solution being proposed is deployed via a landing page with the following Work in progress URL:
www.venkataoec.wixsite.com/goodwillatwork
Detail 5: Explanation of the Join Us element for businesses
The first step being to register details and thereon agree to a “Common Code of Business Interest” to develop “sense and respond elements” for the time ahead amidst the current crisis.
The sense and respond elements are the insightful relevance to the problem via what is called (1) Successful organizational catalysis, (2) designing a PETM platform and thereon (3) sensitizing the business model.
The sensitization of the business model thereon involves aligning with the Graduate Employment problem and the Resultant Work Theory for contractual or professional job seekers etc.
Detail 6: Fountain Head Network
For those who are sports professionals, the Goodwill at Work framework includes a Fountain Head Network, that permits amateur or professional sports players to register with the network to identify their needs
For the interest in this subject, the term Fountain Head refers to emanating energy that evolves into a stream of life experience.
Detail 7: People Welfare Systems
The People Welfare System helps identify and dimension need and proportion for the demand/supply balance needed in vital essentials
Detail 8: LifeWise Network activation
The LifeWise Network activation helps people who cannot work anymore or for the time being, where the activation helps them to seek assistance and resolution for Food, Consumables and Shelter during the current crisis and for the time afflicted.
Detail 9: The Zen Genome Centre
The Zen Genome is an “Activation for Sustenance harness” that designs solutions for furtherance and emergence
How I built it
I have enabled different proof-of-concept "solution highlights" for different problems related to Sustainable development and growth, Health management, Enterprise skill up methodologies and have integrated this with some intrinsic problem solving for the Goodwill at Hackathon entry to take on the challenge of employment dynamics.
Challenges I ran into
From my side, at this time of risk
For me conviction is past ‘heart’s desire’. Conviction connects a soul’s urge to heart’s desire.
Today we are finding man is affected by a lack of harmony as problem solving is not elevated to address risk, threat or the face of threats.
Man’s greater victory is in extremity and in not being a visionary.
Man finds victory in not being loyal and in man’s unwillingness to go to great lengths to become true survivors in the face of risk and race of “materialism, manifold urges and lack of logical, or positive or practical flexibility” to be conscious of the spiraling effect that is affecting us quite easily.
The need of the hour which I stand for is ‘systemic transformation through self-cycles for showing initiative for harmony and problem solving’.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
All of us cannot be seekers and searches of truth or life paths like Buddha or Mother (Saint) Teresa or the other accomplishers seen till date.
Your transformation as much as mine depends upon events tied around one’s life whether spatial (today this being climate change, manifested incidence or unseen epidemic), or extra-sensory and/or mystical, where these events energize hidden aspects of one’s personality.
What I learned
Trusting feelings and our interests...
We feel that each of us want happy moments in the times to come, but it is said with two-folded role morality, one worldly interest and two a soulful enrichment.
This said, do we value our wants or power to want more than we should?
The inner secret being the soul is the most just part of all of us. It is sometimes part of a path to make our lifetimes successful for a journey important for all of us. We must relate to soul-led happiness.
To highlight conviction and transformation, the need for us is to be strategic in our defense initiatives to accomplish, solve problems and harmonize life.
What's next for Goodwill at Work
The open thinking must be funded for implementation of People Welfare Systems, LifeWise Networks and Help Lines,Social Accountability for resultant work theories, graduates and sports players. The Loan or Debt management concepts can help but must be enabled by interested parties.
The need of the hour is to facilitate problem solving without impact-ful spending. All said, I am happy that at the hackathon level, these open intents can become ground realities.

Inspiration
Eleutherios
(https://eleutherios.org.nz)
is a global cooperative forum or circular economic system, that goes beyond the old local or linear economic system or tight coupling, implied by a single supply chain.
For example, if a person wants to access food or a new house, they have to serve or participate in the financial supply chain system first, in order to receive the food or house.
Business (finance) --> Customer (request e.g. food, house)
What it does
Eleutherios, removes this tight coupling, by inverting or delegating the customer’s request to the business or supply chain system, instead.
Customer (request) --> Business (food, housing)
By, putting the customer or request first, we can scale the request or invite more than one service or supply chain (food, housing) to help serve or manage the request or conversation.
For example, if a person or customer was hungry and isolated at home, they could register with Eleutherios through it’s website and create a forum or request, for some food. A grocery store owner could register as a service in the website and subscribe to the forum and ask the person what food they wanted? The grocery store owner could gather the food from their store and scale the forum by creating a sub-forum for a healthcare worker, to help with the delivery of the food. The healthcare worker could scale the sub-forum again and create another sub-forum for a delivery service and accompany the delivery service and be the person that delivers the food to the isolated person.
Forum (Food)
Service (Person or customer)
Service (Grocery store owner)
Forum (Healthcare worker to deliver food)
Service (Healthcare worker)
Forum (Delivery service to deliver food)
Service (Healthcare worker)
Service (Delivery service)
Eleutherios, scales the forum or conversation, that people or businesses are having, not the service or work, that they are trying to perform. People or businesses, still provide the same product or service in the world, but within the same conversation as other products, services or supply chains.
How I built it
Eleutherios, is built with an HTML/javascript (Angular) frontend and node.js (nosql/firebase) backend.
Circular tools or features:
Forum in forum (redundancy/resilience)
Tags for filtering forums or services (searchable)
Alerts to keep end users informed when new forums or services are created in the system (notifiable)
Blocking to prevent unwanted services or users from serving in forums they have been asked not to serve in or for requesting services, they have been asked not to request (accountability)
Service ratings/reviews (accountability)
B2B or shared processing (scalability)
AI (automatable)
Challenges I ran into
https://github.com/aletheon/eleutherios-alpha/issues
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Discovering that forums can be automated using ML (machine learning). For example, ML can learn the behavior of services and what requests they are likely to make, and make them ahead of time. This is useful in pandemics, where the system can provision, face masks or respirators.

To be jobless, never meant you're hopeless,you stand a good opportunity to exhibit your potentials, talent on your enterprise.
Unemployment as a result of Covid19, every body needs to bring out their talent, doing one skill is something indeed.

MEANING:Covid19-is a virus spread through droplets of an infected person who sneezes or coughs.It could be contracted in a close range of 2 metres.
However,Coronavirus Disease 2019, or COVID-19, is an infectious acute respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Initially identified in Wuhan, China, COVID-19 rapidly became a global pandemic as of 30th January 2020 and is still ongoing.
Worldwide, around 8 million cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed with around 450,000 deaths (as of June 2020).
MAIN SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
According to the NHS (UK), the 3 main symptoms of COVID-19 are:
1)Fever – a high temperature >37.8OC/100OF (~86-88% of reported cases)
2)Dry Cough – a new continuous cough that occurs regularly throughout the day (at least 3 coughing episodes per 24 hours) (~69%)
3)Smell and Taste – a noticeable new loss in the sense of smell and taste (variable estimates – data still emerging)
However, not all affected individuals may display all 3 of these symptoms. Often, 1 of the 3 symptoms may be sufficient. Furthermore, according to the CDC (US), additional symptoms may include 1 or more of the following symptoms, which may occur in a subset of affected individuals:
4)Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing (~22%) – depends on the severity of disease i.e. in more severe disease this is very common
Fatigue (tiredness) (~35-39%)
5)Muscle and body aches (~16-36%)
Headache (~12%)
Sore throat (~12%)
6)Nausea or vomiting (~4-6%)
7)Diarrhea (~5%)
8)Congested or runny nose (~3%)
Many of these symptoms are also the same for influenza (flu) and cold. The main distinction between flu and COVID-19 is that flu symptoms usually begin abruptly within 1-4 days whereas COVID-19 symptoms develop gradually over 2-14 days.
Symptoms such as a runny or congested nose, in addition to body aches and pains, are more common in flu than in COVID-19.
The symptoms of COVID-19 typically disappear within 14 days after initial symptoms, and this is the basis of self-isolation, or quarantine, as imposed by many nations to combat local epidemics.
Although for the vast majority of people, symptoms disappear within 14 days, there may be some cases where symptoms do not disappear and worsen that may require hospitalization.
*Note – as COVID-19 is a new disease and the global pandemic is still ongoing, the exact symptomatic statistics may change as more evidence emerges. Furthermore, more symptoms may be added to the list in the coming months.
COVID19:IMPACT ON THE YOUTHS.
The covid-19 pandemic and related lockdown measures have produced significant interruptions in young people’s lives, the impact of which is still to be analysed and understood in the future.
One youth research approach to developments in young people’s lives is to look at transitions to adulthood and autonomy. For example, when growing up, young people transition to education, to employment, towards economic and financial independence, or to establishing their own family, to getting the right to vote...
Covid-19 has put into question all these transitions. While on the one hand, there is an attempt to identify the best ways to deal with the crisis, and document these practices, there is also an understanding that we are entering not a short period but a longer era of new normality that young people will have to cope with.
This new extended transition is also impacting the youth field actors, including policy-makers, practitioners, youth organisations and platforms for young people’s participation but also youth researchers. While there is a clear emergence of the digital youth work and increasing use of digital tools in working with young people within both formal and non-formal education across Europe, there is also an understanding that there are needs of young people that have not been responded to, leaving many to face on their own issues related to social exclusion, discrimination and a redefinition of social and safety nets. There are also questions about changing relationships and behaviour, changing perspectives on connection to friends and community, impact on well-being and mental health, employment, participation, activism, youth organisations and many other areas of young people’s lives
CHALLENGES
It is quite obvious that millions of people around the world are now confronted with the challenges of unemployment caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Whether it's temporary or permanent, unemployment can lead to stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. Uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic only adds to the angst.
If the COVID-19 pandemic has left you jobless, you may be experiencing many emotions and troubling thoughts. For example, you may feel the following impacts:
1)A loss of identity and sense of purpose.
2)Unappreciated, and you may no longer feel essential.
3)Angry, scared and jealous of others who can still work.
4)Lost, as if you don't know what to do next.
5)Worried about how you'll take care of yourself and your family and provide for basic needs.
Not everyone will have these feelings, but even those coping well with unemployment may experience some of them sometimes.
SEVERAL WAYS OF ALLEVIATING UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM DURING COVID19 PANDEMIC.
There are several ways to alleviate you from these effects.
*The first step in coping with the mental and emotional effects of unemployment is accepting that your feelings are normal. From there, try these steps to manage your thoughts and emotions.
*Accept your feelings by
remembering that you're human. This means you have a brain that's hard-wired to look for threats. When your brain spots a threat, such as unemployment, it sends signals throughout your body to gather resources to address it. This is known as the fight-or-flight response. Among other reactions, this response causes your pulse and breathing to quicken and your muscles to tense up.
*When your brain kicks into high gear, take a deep breath. Step back for a moment. Accept that what you're feeling is normal. Give yourself credit for doing the best you can under the circumstances.
*Acknowledge your grief
If you've lost your job permanently or temporarily, grief is one of the most significant emotions you may feel. You may already know the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, withdrawal and acceptance. You may experience stages of grief in the same way you would the death of someone you love. Address feelings of grief as you would with any other loss.
Inaddition,among other losses, you may grieve activities at your job that bring meaning and purpose to your life. You may grieve career accomplishments you feel proud of, and feeling a sense of belonging and identity. You may also grieve a loss of relationships with co-workers and structure to your day.
*Maintain perspective and
try to keep in mind that the COVID-19 pandemic is causing many companies around the world to make difficult decisions. Keep in mind that staffing decisions are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, not your worth.
*Seek out resources;
If you're having trouble providing basic needs for yourself or your family and you need unemployment help, you can turn to community resources for assistance. Getting help with basic needs, such as food and shelter, can reduce the stress of unemployment.
For example, local, state or government resources, such as food banks, may be available to help with meeting basic needs. In the United States,United Kingdom and others,you may be able to get affordable health insurance through HealthCare.gov if you've lost your health insurance coverage. Unemployment help may also be available. You may also be able to receive pandemic unemployment assistance if you can't work because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
*UNICEF/UNESCO should rescue the youths, staying idle might spur them to robbery,rape and waywardness.
*Assume the best in others
Life during the COVID-19 pandemic can cause anxiety levels to rise for many people. This can lead to feelings of dread, sadness and hopelessness. If you're struggling, others around you may be, too.
These feelings may cause people to say and do things you don't understand. When this happens, aim to assume the best in others. Try to have compassion, knowing that, like you, others are likely doing their best to manage their feelings in a time of crisis.
*Use your energy wisely;
What makes you feel energized or drains your energy? Try to do more of the things that boost your energy. For example, avoid being hard on yourself or focusing on your losses. Instead, be kind to yourself and find reasons to laugh.
And just as you would if you were working, try to conserve your energy. For example, build breaks into your day instead of spending every moment searching for work. These breaks can also help you focus less on worries about the future.
*Focus on the present moment;
Try to bring your thoughts to the present. Focus on what you can control at this moment, rather than on concerns over your future. Focus on your breathing, what you hear or what you see. If you're moving your body, think about how it feels to swing your arms, for example. If your mind wanders to worries about your job or finances, try to gently guide it back to the things you have control over in the moment.
As such,focusing your attention in these ways can help free your mind of thoughts causing feelings of stress and anxiety.
*Find your value;
If you connect your sense of self-worth to your work, look for new ways to realize the contributions you make to the world around you. You may try making lists about yourself, such as:
1)What you're good at
2)What you care about
3)What you know
4)What you can count on within yourself
This can help you remember you always have these qualities, whether you're working or not.
Importantly,take care of yourself,If you're unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remember that while you can't control what happens to you, you can control how you respond. Try these strategies to take care of your mental and emotional health as you navigate the days ahead.
In the other hand,If someone you know has been laid off:
Don’t assume you know what they need:
Everyone’s situation is a little different, and your perception of a person’s needs may not actually be what they are. Amanda Clayman, a psychotherapist and financial wellness advocate at Prudential, says that losing work isn’t a problem that can be solved overnight. “Sometimes [our assumptions] may be very wrong, and it’s more likely that they will take the shape of our own fears of what they want from us,” she says.
Clayman says a healthy way to ask what your loved one needs is to listen to your conversations and see what they bring up, whether it is emotional or financial support. Not all help is financial, of course — especially if you are also struggling. “If your friend is in a bad place and you want to help, you can say, ‘I want to help, but I’m worried about the position I’m in, too,’” Clayman advises.
Be there for them — again and again:
This period of self—isolation can be pretty lonely, and not everyone will need the same kind of interaction. As with many kinds of crises, including death, job loss and illness, Clayman says that loss of friendship is a painful part. “We are afraid of being overwhelmed, we don’t know what to say, we don’t have the power to fix it,” she says.
Not every conversation needs to be about the biggest things that are going on. “You can send a funny meme or a gif,” Clayman says. “Signaling your availability is the most important thing to do, even if [the interaction] didn’t go as you hoped.”
Respect your loved one’s boundaries — and your own:
If you want to help someone you’re close to, you need to be in tune with their needs and boundaries as well as yours, according to Clayman. “That doesn’t mean we have to react or overreact, but we can recognize the boundary and identify what that feeling is.”
If you are living with a roommate, family, member or partner who has been laid off, make sure that you can take space from each other by talking to friends to express your worry in a healthy way. If you can get a little physical space, by taking a walk or exercising safely outside, take advantage of that opportunity.
Moreso,if you want to help those in your community who are out of work:
Check in with your neighbors
If you already know your neighbors, feel free to offer help with things like groceries or errands, if you can. If not, offering items may be a better approach than offering financial support out of the blue.
If you live in a big city and don’t know your neighbors, social media apps like Nextdoor can help connect you to other home-bound residents. You can also use traditional social media apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see if there are others in your area that are in need. Moreso, if you can’t donate financially, you may be able to donate unwanted goods through apps like Freecycle or the Buy Nothing Project.
Donate to your community foundations
Demetra Nightingale, a labor and employment researcher and fellow at the Urban Institute, says there’s a great need for community organizations that provide social services as well as employment help. “Donations of food, supplies or donations of financial resources, or a donation of time, that’s important,” she tells NBC News. She notes that some of those organizations may have been left out of federal relief funding and donations matter now more than ever.
If you do have the means to lend financial support, you can do so through local food banks or community organizations that help people in need. Follow the #ShareMyCheck initiative on social media for ideas on where to donate, if you are financially stable and can do so.
Offer your own expertise pro bono
Whether or not you’re still employed, you might have some skills that someone else needs. “This is a good time to prepare for the future if you’re unemployed,” Nightingale says. You can offer to review resumes, help the older or less computer-savvy file for unemployment benefits online or give whatever you’ve got. “Whether it is legal help, teaching or tutoring, or group instruction, that can be shared more broadly in our communities,” Nightingale adds.
HEALTH WISE
Protect yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19.
You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions such as:
*Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
*Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
*Avoid going to crowded places. Why? Where people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COVID-19 and it is more difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet).
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
*Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
*Staying home is safer and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
*If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority. Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
*Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
SAFE USE OF ALCOHOL BASED HAND SANITIZER
*To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water. If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, make sure you use and store it carefully.
*Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children’s reach. Teach them how to apply the sanitizer and monitor its use.
*Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a large amount of the product.
*Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as it can cause irritation.
*Hand sanitizers recommended to protect against COVID-19 are alcohol-based and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before handling fire or cooking.
*Under no circumstance, drink or let children swallow an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. It can be poisonous.
*Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also effective against COVID-19.

Inspiration
Each year in the US, around 2 million people go to their doctors because of rotator cuff issues. 600,000 have surgery for rotator cuff tears or tendonitis. Besides the volume of injuries, the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle are one of the key body areas in determining posture and shoulder health.
One of the most common remedies, and best prevention methods, is performing corrective exercises. Although rotator cuff exercises can be very effective and simple to perform when done right, there are multiple areas where patients can perform the exercise incorrectly, which can actually worsen their issues. This is where Asclepius comes in.
What it does
Our Android app Asclepius is geared towards physical therapy patients performing corrective exercises. It serves to monitor and guide their form on key exercises, providing real time feedback via 2 features: an accelerometer that ensures the patient maintains a safe and stable speed of motion and a camera-based tracker that visually examines the user’s form and guides them toward a correct range of motion.
The app does not require any expensive features or programs, operating off the hardware present in every smartphone and any wearable object provided by the user.
The camera tracker implements openCV, a computer vision library, to monitor the patient’s form. To activate it, the user has the camera lock on to a wearable object, such as a neon band. The camera then uses the object’s movement during the exercise to determine the patient’s range of motion and form. Depending on the exercise being performed by the user. Asclepius can tell the user to adjust their movement via a green outline for correct movement and a red outline incorrect movement. Asclepius tracks for a blue band by default, but a calibrator is provided that allows the user to adjust the camera to the object they have available by changing the target color.
The second method for real time feedback, the accelerometer, works by tracking the acceleration of the user's movement, from which we know whether the user is maintaining a constant velocity. We want users to maintain a constant velocity to increase stability and reduce the chance of injury, and Asclepius can tell them to adjust when needed via a red screen for "adjustment needed" and a green screen for "good movement."
Our final feature is a tutorial section that provides instructions and video demonstrations of each exercise and the features of the app.
While Asclepius is meant to aid the recovery of injured PT patients, it can also be used in casual exercise for injury prevention, which is another angle with massive potential. The ultimate aim of the app is to help users perform various exercises safely and with proper form without the need for hiring personal trainers or other expensive options. We hope that in making a free, effective tool in Asclepius, people can live happier and more productive lives.
How we built it
Our main tools for making this application was Android Studio, Google's integrated development environment,
which uses Java to program the application and XML to design the application. We also added the openCV module
to utilize computer vision in our app and Firebase as our backend.
Challenges we ran into
One of the most difficult aspects was effectively implementing computer vision. We had to figure out how to implement openCV, a computer vision library with unique methods we had little experience with. Additionally, we wanted to add the capability for real time feedback to the user, which also brought the issue of not just tracking results, but communicating them in a way the user could understand. And of course, the whole structure would have to be simple enough to use and understand that new users would be able to intuitively take full advantage of the app’s features. Eventually, we designed a relatively simple user interface, with the user tapping on the screen to signal to the camera tracker to activate and lock on to the provided object. Once the screen is tapped, Asclepius creates a "box" at the point where the object is located. When the user completes a rep, the user's band should return to about the same spot where it was when the screen is tapped, so Asclepius then knows that the user has completed a rep. Firebase also provided a technical challenge in transferring data on the phone to the cloud. We required a certain organization of all the data, so the phone could then translate the data back into something useful for visualization.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud to have been able to apply our skills in openCV to a more effective and meaningful manner in our own everyday lives, while still keeping our user interface simple enough to easily understand and operate. We also feel accomplished successfully incorporating Firebase into an app for the first time, despite the difficulties it presented. Asclepius, originally made a little less than a year ago as an entry for the Congressional App Challenge, already gave us a sense of accomplishment, as it won in our respective congressional district and earned us the opportunity to both meet our congressman and travel to Washington DC to present our app. Since then we have still continued to develop and improve the app to allow to be of greater help to more users, and truly feel the greatest sense of accomplishment helping people in our community stay healthy and avoid further injury.
What we learned
Creating Asclepius gave us the opportunity to learn more about how to use openCV in an everyday environment, and design an app with a simple UI centered around it, since we had initially only ever used it in the FIRST Robotics Competition to detect light reflecting from reflective tape. We also learned about how to use Firebase as a backend and the process of transferring and organizing data. Beyond the technical aspects of the app, we learned more about treating injury and the importance of performing corrective exercises correctly, further stressing the importance of an app like Asclepius.
What's next for Asclepius Physical Therapy Assistant
One important improvement we want to add is to use machine learning in conjunction with computer vision to track a user's arm movement because as of right now, Asclepius requires users to wear a band or other wearable object that it can track. Tracking arm movement instead of a band would be more convenient for users.
In addition, we think that we could provide a much better way of counting the user's reps because it currently relies on a timed period after the user has completed a rep. Once the time period ends, Asclepius can then begin counting reps, and this may not work out in real life scenarios where the user is performing reps at a faster pace than Asclepius can count. Incorporating machine learning to recognize arm movement would surely help in counting reps.
In regards to Firebase functionality, we would like to provide a home page where the user can track progress over time. By tracking progress over time, Firebase could give data for Asclepius to determine which exercise the user should complete in the short term to avoid injuries.
Although our app currently focuses on exercises designed to strengthen the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle, areas of the body where injuries are common in various sports and workout regimes, we could expand to cover other types of activities and exercises, widening the audience we can help.

Plot of the time taken with and without the optimization for a 4x4 map and 50 drivers
Path assigned is taken as vector and a basic bot was built, which moves exactly as that vector and hence reach src to dest in shortest time
Inspiration
The 21st century ushered with it the age of smart and predictive technology with the optimum use of resources to make life easier and take preventive measures against predicted mishaps. In accordance with this trend, the proposal is an automated (SAE level 5) mode of transport using a modified Dijkstra’s algorithm with concepts of Ant Colony Optimization, big data analytics and cloud computing for number crunching to arrive at the destination based on the traffic and the number of drivers on the road, in the shortest time possible instead of the usual shortest distance algorithms. The analysis of the time saved by the drivers for different map types is recorded and compared and the results are found to be more efficient with respect to time as compared to the time taken by the original Dijkstra’s algorithm.
What it does
Start: the user is logged into the system as soon as the car is turned on.
Choose the destination: The source and destination are chosen based on the current position as identified by the GPS system and the input by the user respectively.
The path is set for the shortest travel time: Using the proposed modified algorithm, based on all the users currently logged onto the system and their current position and destination the route that takes the shortest time to travel is set.
Automated transport: Using the grid based system where the inaccessible roads are blocked out by giving a very high value and the weight is taken in accordance with the speed the car can achieve on the particular road, the user is transported from source to destination.
Arrive at destination: With minimal sensors, this automated mode transport uses big data analytics and cloud computing to ferry people from one place to another safely.
Stop: Once the car is stopped, the user has logged off the system.
The first part of the prototype consists of the modified Dijkstra’s algorithm in which the shortest path is determined based on the time taken and not on the distance between the source and destination. (how many people own cars) (statistically how many people would want to go to the same place at the same time in a particular place) If the shortest route is to take the I-16 and turn north towards the bridge, and all 100 people take the I-16 and turn north, then imagine the traffic jam a vehicle would be stuck in with the agonising honking and bumper to bumper traffic
The whole ground can be represented as a grid or a matrix. A path can then be plotted based on the parts of the grid that are free. For example, if there is a pothole then that part of the grid can be made as inaccessible and will not show as a viable route that can be taken. Similarly to all the places that are on either side of the road.
How we built it
We built it using C++.
Challenges we ran into
To identify the parameters that were required to be considered and to make sure that the time complexity of the algorithm is as less as possible.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The trial runs performed for a number of matrices of varying sizes and the time saved by each of the drivers were taken as an output and for a small map size of 10x10, the combined time taken was reduced by close to 26%. As the map size increases, we can observe that the time saved for each driver is increased. This shows that with the increase in map size that the real world scenario will have, the time saved will increase thus proving the efficiency of the modified algorithm and ensuring high performing automated cars.
What's next for Modified Dijkstra algorithm for optimal navigation
The future work would be to build a prototype of the model and go over the safety features in the case of a failure with a fine comb and to build a real-time web version of it.

Today's newspapers are filled with stories of violence and abuse. What if we could help prevent that? What if we could make every person feel safe. What if every person knew that there is someone who is watching over them and concerned about their safety? What if we could prevent rape, abuse, harassment? What if every person knew what happens in a particular area before even stepping there? What if every person was armed with knowledge? That's what we wanted to do. We wanted to make a better safer world for every person out there. A better world.
What it does
Whenever a person is in danger (depending on the type of danger level the individual is in) a real time mapping has been done of the safety of various areas. Based on this, individuals have a comprehensive knowledge of the safety level of each of the areas. This also helps officials in finding the various zones that require more attention and police patrolling the area. This will also help reduce the rate of crimes taking place by facilitating a bridge between the grievances of the citizens and the authorities who can take action to resolve their issues. This also helps speedy redressal of problems.
What's next for Unsafe Area Mapping
We want to create an application that reports the highest threat directly to the concerned authorities as well as the family members while updating the people about the safety in that region. We could also expose an API for the already existing apps so that they can continue to provide security to people all over using real data rather than the simulated data that we used for this demo. With more data, we can even use learning algorithms to predict the unsafe areas on a given time segment along with the crime type, so that prior patrolling can be done near these spots!

Inspiration
During this current COVID 19 pandemic, I see health worker is curing the patients, doctors are innovating new medicine, the police is controlling the crowd movement and even bus drivers are helping people to get back to home. As a future engineer, I felt like my contribution is none, so I felt motivated to do my part and try to bring a positive change and to make sure my product can also be used in a future pandemic.
problem our project solves
Offices and workplaces are opening up and as the lockdown loosen we have to get back to work, but there is a massive possibility that infection can spread in our workplace as, When a person is infected he can be asymptomatic for up to 21 days and still be contagious, so the only way to contain the spread is by wearing a mask and maintaining hand hygiene. WHO and CDC report said that if everyone wears a mask and maintains hygiene then the number of cases can be reduced three folds. But HOW we will do that? , How can we make ever one habituated to the following safety precaution so the normalization can take place. So we have come up with a solution called C-CARE 1st ever preventive habit maker that will bring a positive change.
What our project does
Our app is 1st of its kind safety awareness system, which works on google geofencing API, in which it creates a geofence around the user home location and whenever the user leaves home, he will get a notification in the C-CARE app ( ' WEAR MASK ' ) and as the users return home he will get another notification ( ' WASH HANDS '), ensuring full safety of the user and their family. It is also loaded with additional features such as i.) HOTSPOT WARNING SYSTEM in which if the user enters into a COVID hotspot region he will be alerted to maintain 'SOCIAL DISTANCING' And it also has a statics board where the user can see how many times the user has visited each of these geofences. With repeated Notification, we will make people habituated of wear masks, washing hands, and social distancing which will make each and every one of us a COVID warrior, we are not only protecting ourselves but also protecting others, only with C-CARE.
Challenges we ran into
1,) we lack financial support as we have to make this app from scratch.
2.) the problem in collecting data regarding government-certified hotspot and also we have to do a lot of research regarding the spread pattern of COVID-19.
3.) Due to a lack of mentors, whenever the app stop working we had to figure out by ourself, how to correct the error.
4.) It took us too long to use it in real-time as during lockdown it was too hard to go outside in the quarantine but finally, after lockdown loosens a bit we tested it and it gave an excellent result.
5.) we didn't know much about geofencing before that so we have to learn it from scratch using youtube videos.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
WINNER at Global Hacks in the category of HEALTH AND MEDICINE.
WINNER at MacroHack As the best Android Application.
WINNER at MLH Hackcation in the category ( Our first Hackcation ).
TOP 5 in innovaTeen hacks.
TOP 10 in Restartindia.org and Hack the crisis Iceland.
What we learned
All team members of C-CARE were able to grow their area of competence by participating in the whole process of idea definition, market research, validation, prototyping, and presentation. Through different mentor sessions, we learned that problems could be approached by many means, but most importantly our mission should be clear.
What's next for C - CARE
COVID cases are increasing every day, and chances are low that we can create a vaccine immediately, apps like C-CARE will play a crucial role in lower the spread of infection till a proper vaccine is made.
Our app can also be used for seasonal diseases such as swine flu or bird flu or possible future pandemic such as Hantavirus, G4 Virus, bubonic flu, Monkeypox.

As we all know coronavirus is a fatal problem in today's society causing many deaths and sicknesses all around the world. As covid-19 keeps increasing, more and more people are becoming ill, but there are also more deaths happening due to an indirect factor: depression. For some, life has been a hardship now. People are unable to go outside, some are fired from their jobs, and others are just are unable to cope with the stress and anxiety from the lockdown at home. These are all general factors that lead to the coronavirus.
So far, 15.3 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED TO HAVE THE CORONAVIRUS, AND 624,000 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM IT. AS FOR DEPRESSION, studies have shown that 1 OUT OF EVERY 113 people will get depression in their lifetime. In 2016 alone, there were over 16.2 million people affected by the coronavirus, meaning 5% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE USA DURING 2016 HAD DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS. 6.7% of all adults also have depression symptoms.
What it does
To treat all this outbreak going on, I decided to make a webapp and app that is able to help everyone no matter where they live during these tough times. My project has three parts. First there is the social distancing app, that uses api's to make sure everyone is social distancing. If you arent social distancing you will be alerted. Then I made a free coronavirus quiz. It is an animated form which evaluates which symptoms of coronavirus you show and gives additional information and testing sites if needed. The last part is an algorithm that is able to see if you show symptoms of depression or not. The algorithm analyzes your typing speed and connotations of the words you type, and uses regression to find a pattern between them
How I built it
I used flask, html, css, swift ui, swift, python
Challenges I ran into
As a beginner making my own website from scratch was extremely hard due to the fact that I have only used templates before. I also didnt know what was regression or any of the other important machine learning type concepts that I used for this project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud of learning regression, and somehow being able to complete this project on time! This was my first time using swift ui and I am very proud of that.
What I learned
I learned swift, swift ui, flask in depth, and html and css in depth to make a website. I also learned simple machine learning concepts like panda dataframes, and linear regression
What's next for Safety First
I want to publish my app on the app store, and also make the depression symptom analyzer voice recognition related so there might be more accurate results.

Choose Your Diet!
Diet Chosen!
Scan the Nutrition Label of Desired Food!
Nutrition Label Scanned!
Your Food Met Your Dietary Restrictions!
Your Food Did Not Meet Your Dietary Restrictions!
Look At the List of Alternate Foods that You can Consume Instead!
Inspiration
My grandfather had atherosclerosis, and unfortunately passed away due to it. This inspired me to research more about the disease and others of the sort, and found out that a major cause is problematic dieting. Once I researched, and realized it was such a big problem in the community even today, I knew I had to create something to help society. Now I know that if my grandfather had my app when he had meningioma, he could have had a little bit of a longer life, preventing is 5 heart attacks with a proper diet, using my app.
What it does
Many of us struggle with diets because of the diverse food environments that tempt us, according to Dr. Kelly D. Brownell, director of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. In fact, according to Ashkan Afshin, an epidemiologist at Washington University, poor diets cause more deaths than any other risk, including cigarettes. This is because we live in a world where, sometimes, the information we hear is not clear, or accurate, causing us to make rash decisions leading to our demise. My smartphone app helps users in making informed choices about the food they are consuming in diverse food environments like what we have today.
The issues surrounding diet choices is an active research topic that has the potential to significantly change our nutrition management skills. With the many tempting food environments around us, it is easy to make poor diet choices, leading to more deaths in the population than any other risk factor, primarily due to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This necessitates us to learn more about how to make better choices regarding what foods we consume. So, my iOS app, Dietologist, allows users to have a quick and easy way to scan the nutrient label of a food product, find out if it meets their dietary restrictions, and, if not, provides a recommendation for an alternate food product that does.
How I built it
I built this app using Swift 5 and Xcode 11. I first designed the user interface of the app using the SwiftUI Storyboard, where I can implement buttons, images, and more elements. Then, I added code in the backend of the app, so that the scanned text can be saved and read through, to see if any nutrients that the user doesn't want are present, to then provide an alternate food of a similar genre if needed. Then, to test the app, I connected it to my dad's iPhone8, and was able to see the app's function, to make changes.
Challenges I ran into
When coding the image scanner (to read the nutrition label), I realized that I had designed the whole app using a tab view, rather than the single view. The vision framework code I used only worked in the single view. However, since I wasn't too far into the process, as I wanted to target the hardest parts of code (vision framework) first, it was relatively easy to transfer everything to a single view app project.
At first, I had no idea how to save the user's diet choice, and the switches would automatically reset after the page had been left. However, I figured out that the user defaults API offered an optimal way of doing exactly what I needed. So, I researched on that and implemented it into my code.
There weren't too many tutorials in the new Swift5 code, and since I was learning most of the code in the process, is was a bit hard. However, I was able to find a few and work with them. I hope that in the future, I can provide some tutorials so that others won't run into this purpose.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud that I was able to learn most of Xcode and Swift (when I created the app - about 9 months ago - I barely knew anything about these languages)!
I'm proud that my initial plan for the app was carried out as I expected, although there were a few obstacles on the way, which is completely normal.
I'm glad that I was able to make an app that can actually make a different in someone's life, helping out the field I am so passionate in, nutritional science.
I'm proud of my incorporation of the vision and user defaults frameworks, since those were the most complicated parts of my code.
What I learned
I learned so much about Xcode and Swift in general. I mainly knew JAVA, and learning this new language was insanely awesome.
I learned how to use Vision Framework, which I think is really cool, as I know that there are so many different apps that also have implemented Vision Framework after it came out, such as notes and google's scanning app.
I learned that it is possible to implement saving user choices using code! I wasn't sure if this would be possible using Swift, especially since I didn't know much to start with, however, I was able to do so by implementing the user defaults framework. This was incredibly cool to me, since this was so out of the box for me!
What's next for Dietologist
This app is already published to the App Store, so I would like to expand the app to create a business and even get sponsors!
I would like to offer this app to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, so that it can help in the management and treatment process of diseases like diabetes and atherosclerosis.
After initial testing, I made some updates to my app, as participants commented on the formatting of the app on the google form I used to collect data, and then retested the product. I redesigned by adding a help menu, adding more alternates, adding a home button, and fixing spacing.
I want to expand my food database, so that the app will be able to find alternates without the user having to input what type their desired food is.
I want to add an option enabling the user to input the amount of the nutrient they would like, instead of the only option being none of the nutrient (ex. max. is 5g sugar), with my app also reading the serving size.
Increase the diet options provided in the app (ex. low sodium, low calories, etc.)

Police brutality has been in the news lately so we decided we wanted that to be the subject of our project. After realizing that more mainstream social media sites are sometimes forced to take down or flag content related to police brutality we decided there was a need for a more independent community.
What it does
It is a forum for police brutality victims and allies to build a community where everyone can share their experiences and resources.
How we built it
We used flask as the framework for our web application. Flask handled the logic and served up the web pages coded using HTML. After completing a back-end and a basic front-end we used a CSS framework, Bootstrap, to make everything look better.
Challenges we surpassed
Creating the database and figuring out the relationship between Users and Posts, Preventing duplicate users/usernames & mismatched passwords during registration, Creating forms using WTForms, Figuring out notifications, Profile picture integration using Gravatar, Email website error notifications to administrators, Accepting Cryptocurrency donations through Coinbase
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a functioning website that can be used to help people who have been victims of police brutality.
What we learned
Web Development using flask
What's next for Police Brutality Forum
Next, we will continue to improve on the website by adding more features and sources and well as continuing to make the forum more user-friendly. Examples of upcoming features include implementing a like/dislike system and methods for sorting posts such as by popular and by most likes, password recovery through email, the ability to delete/edit posts, image/link support for posts, and the implementation of tags to sort posts into categories.

Actually I just thought of this myself, but I did get design inspiration from the early design format of websites!
What it does
It brings you to different years and tells you about pop culture including: movies, tv, songs etc.! It also gives you an organized list of events that happened that year!
How I built it
I used repl.it since I'm actually very new to coding, cool enough I actually built the whole website from scratch and also filled in all the content so far myself!
Challenges I ran into
I could't figure out how to make the cards style because they kept handing back a lot of errors in between the css and html, I sadly also couldn't get the icon to work and I still haven't fixed it and i don't have much time but I'm working on it!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Getting the card format to work and also putting in all the content!
What I learned
I learned a lot about css since i'm so new to it and also how to animate the card format! and not only did I learn code, I also, funny enough, learned a lot about the 2000's!
What's next for What's Poppin'?
I want to make and add an icon, add more functions, but since it's designed in retro style not make them to modern, and i want to add in more years and more facts!

A potential challenge during the pandemic outbreak like COVID19 is overwhelming hospitals. Due to the increase in the number of COVID patients, doctors are giving less attention to a non-COVID patient. Right now, hospitals don't have the capacity for the large number of incoming patients. There is a need for a technology platform which is capable of remote-monitoring and allowing for the engagement of patients in their homes. The capabilities also facilitate communication between quarantined people and the healthcare service and maintain visibility of those recently discharged. This problem is what inspired us to make this user-friendly interface.
What it does
The DrFit platform offers an ideal way to monitor patients while they are in quarantine. The device hub include those that measure vital body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, SPO2 level in the blood. The information of the vital signs will be updated via web to the doctors.
How we built it
We used the Google Cloud Platform along with Firebase for this project.

Challenges we ran into
There were many challenges we ran into, but that's what programming's all about. One of the difficult challenges we ran into was making sure the UI worked. Another challenge was figuring out how to to extract information from the JSON file to the website.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of so many things. We made use of this project to the best of our abilities in this 24 Hours of time. We got to use the Google Cloud Platform, which is a first for all of us, we had never used GCP before and now we will continue to use this platform. Additionally, we combined all of our skills to create a website that use multiple frameworks and we are proud of this website. We love the UI/UX and we love the Backend, it was our first time as well using these frameworks. Finally, we are proud of the amount of work we pulled of in 24 hours. We would have never thought we could accmplish this much in such a small amount of time.
What we learned
Creating realtime databases
Firebase
User Authentication
What's next for DrFit
Implement Google Assistant instead of Alan (Wider range of possibilites)
Create a Watch Application (Apple watch and Galaxy Watch) to have realtime data about Vitals
Implement more Google Cloud Features including Tensorflow AI for medical classification and image classificatin to find various conditions
Implement a TeleHealth API platform for virtual doctor visits
Implement Echo AR for human body modeling

Inspiration
Back in 2014, there was a website called The Thoughts Room. In it, you can write out all your thoughts and watch it disappears into stars. For a lot of people, including myself, this website literally saved their life. It was a beautiful and comforting way to declutter our mind, especially at times when we can't talk to other people. However, that website has long gone (Their server crashed and there was no way to resurrect it).
Having missed The Thoughts Room and knowing how it has helped a lot of people, I decided to rebuilt a similar website during the Christmas break of 2019.
What it does
Its main use is to let user write down their thought and slowly watch it dissolve into raindrops. A couple months later I added a stress tracker feature that lets users create an account and keep track of their daily stress level.
How I built it
It was built with plain HTML, CSS, Javascript (not even with JQuery or Bootstrap). For the stress tracker, I use Firebase API.
Challenges I ran into
This project was my very first exposure to web development. Prior to this, I only know very little on HTML & CSS, but never actually used Javascript DOM.
In the beginning, positioning elements can take hours. I wasn't sure what's the difference between position absolute & relative, flex and grid display, how to make animations, etc. It took me very long to finally understand how everything works together.
What I learned
A lot. There are small things such as putting "alt" on
and understanding the importance of "inspect element" feature on every web browsers, to big things such as how to make animations with plain css and how to connect to use Firebase API.
What's next for Be Okay
Makes the rain animation smoother, refine the css so it works on every web browser.

Because of the COVID-19, people aren't around to deal with child health. Now, child health is arising in a huge issue, with not many people to solve this problem. My team and I decided to make a simple solution - to give solutions to everyone's concerns.
What it does
This website is a blog site where you can post any question and we'll answer it. The website also has a built-in chatbot to answer your questions and have a good time with you!
How we built it
We used Django web development and Python to run the chatbot, and we used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the blog site.
Challenges we ran into
We realized how difficult Django web development was. Also, some of the servers were down, so we had trouble and ended up rushing the project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We finally found a way to run the chatbot and the website, despite the troubles we ran into.
What we learned
We learned about Django, Advanced Python, and web development.
What's next for Child Blog
We might add deployment for the website.

Corona Virus pandemic lead to online teaching everywhere, That made us to think of making a project solving the problem related to online teaching and bringing every needed features to a single educational platform.
What it does
Some of the features are listed below:-
It asks students and teachers to sign up or login. After that, it provides the students zoom URL to join the online meeting, teachers has to start their own meeting and has to upload the meeting ID and password to the website server so the students may join.
After the meeting ends, the students has to solve quiz related to the class which will automatically give them marks according to their performance. Teachers get excess to upload the quiz.
Teachers may assign students projects or assignments using this platform and students can submit their work before the deadline.
Also this project enables users the access to order school essentials like books, pens and other stationery online through it.
How I built it
The delivery part was built using wix.com's theme and by modifying it into stationery store website.
Android app was made using Kodular.
Rest of the complete website was made using Bootstrap Studio by integrating website with, Zoom for the meetings, Firebase to get the meeting ID and password for the Zoom meeting and then linking the main site with the delivery site made through wix.
Challenges I ran into
I was new to website development, so, Working on the project enhanced my experience with Website Development.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I got to learn about website development as I'm beginner to website development.
I got to learn integrating firebase to websites as well as android apps.
I was a beginner to bootstrap but now I have enough knowledge to make a website work using bootstrap
What I learned
Team Work is a major thing I got to learn by working with teammates belonging to different parts of the world.
I was new to website development. So I got to know more about website development using bootstrap and wix.com
I used to integrate mobile apps with firebase but this project gave me an opportunity to learn about integrating websites with firebase.
What's next for EduQuix
In future, we plan to make an iOS app so it would be easier for everyone to use it even for them who don't own an android phone, computer or a laptop.
We would try to add notification pannel in the project through which students may get aware of emergency updates like if class gets postponed or gets canceled.
We would introduce, free online tutorials, so that students may learn more, outside the classroom.
We will also add a feature, for easier note taking during classes, which can also be accessed, after lessons for future references.
A feature for teachers, to upload files such as presentations, to allow contribution for both students and teachers.
We can tie up with local stationery stores to provide users same day delivery.

Inspiration
Young minds learn best when taught in an interactive fashion. Also, they love to hear animated voices more than ordinary human voices or even Alexa's voice. Our skill considers these factors and presents a character, Simba, for them to explore countries and learn about festivals with. The skill is targeted towards 3-9-year-old children. The skill is designed in a way that childer can learn on their own, or parents can invoke the skill and walk through it with their children.
What it does
Once the user launches the skill by saying, "Open Simba Safari," he/she can use it in two ways -
The interactive mode that helps them learn about festivals.
Interactive mode of exploring countries and learning about them.
If the user wishes to explore a country, Alexa randomly selects a country for the user to explore or explore one of the user's choice. If the user wishes to learn about festivals, Alexa randomly selects a festival to learn or starts with one of the user's preference. Our primary goal is to teach children while playing an interactive game cause we believe that how they learn best.
How we built it
We built the backend using AWS Services and the VUI (Voice User Interface) using Alexa Skill SDK.
All the data consumed in this project is hosted on the AWS S3 cloud service, and all the testing/monitoring is done using AWS Cloudwatch.
Challenges we ran into
Extracting content and structuring it in a way that makes our skill flow naturally and keeps users interested was a significant challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We received quite a few positive reviews on the Alexa skills store and maintained a rating of 4.3/5.
What's next for Simba - The Explorer
We are planning on adding more interactive chapters, so the user had a more extensive range of countries and festivals to choose from, and we want to expand the skill to include sections that similarly teach basic maths and science. Also, visuals are more appealing than just plain audio, and for this, we are planning on incorporating APL(Alexa Presentation Language) in our skill.

KnowPool is an innovative platform where the users can share their programming expertise with the other learners easily via the means of professional blogs and videos. Personally, we think that there is a lot of great study material related to programming, computer and internet in general. However, this material is scattered on various platforms, making it harder for people to get the best content at one place.
Our Solution :
KnowPool is an innovative platform where the users can share their programming expertise with the other learners easily via the means of professional blogs and videos. Personally, we think that there is a lot of great study material related to programming, computer and internet in general. However, this material is scattered on various platforms, making it harder for people to get the best content at one place.
Various people have various blogs/YouTube Channels and some have dedicated websites for the same. However, it's hard to keep up with these various platforms simultaneously. Plus, there's another factor of switching to various different websites and then getting confused with the content, because of how the data is represented on different platform(s) is different.
This creates an unnecessarily complicated Architecture consisting of Modules or Silos. Thus, instead of creating another Silo of this complex hierarchy, we aim to unify and simplify this problem.
Platform Architecture
How Platform Works :
Currently, if you want to learn a particular skill, you go through various websites, or sources to find content with good ratings. Various platforms have various judging criteria for judging the content. Sometimes, there are people who want to share their knowledge about a certain topic, but they find it cumbersome to create a blog/channel/website manually to place their content. We wish to give these users a way where they don't have to go to such lengths.
Whoever wants to share their programming knowledge, they can simply sign up on our platform as a "instructor" and start writing blogs or sharing their tutorial videos on our platform. This way, anyone can teach whatever content they have superior skill(s) in.
The learners will have the ability to rate/comment/share those posts. This will also give the new learners a unified review about a particular content source. We also wish to keep this platform completely free, because we ourselves as students believe that education can be free.
However, we will be having a donation section for maintaining server and architecture costs.
We've used C# (Xamarin Framework) to develop the client-side and on the back end, we have developed our own PHP based APIs to POST and GET the data to/from the database. For database, we've used MySQL.
You can take a look at our application's "Workflow" or "Wireframe" in this zipped folder itself.
Running This Project :
Let us remind you again that the minimum Android OS that you need to run this project is Lollipop (API Level 21). So, make sure you're satisfying the minimum requirements first. Otherwise, your handset won't be able to parse the apk file.
Permissions Required :
This application requires you to provide few permissions to it, in order to work properly. Here's the list of permissions that the application needs :
Internet Access
View WiFi Connections
Storage (Read/Write Perms For Cache)
Read Google Service Configuration
Instructions For Direct APK Installation :
If you want to run this application on your android phone, please move over to the "
Release
" section and download the latest stable APK build for your android phone. You do not need any external libraries or application.
Instructions For Developers/Testers :
If you're a developer or any user who wishes to test this application and run this android project, it's recommended to install Visual Studio with Xamarin Support and Android SDKs on your system. Remember that Android SDKs should be in your local path for you to be able to compile the project properly. You can find the source code in the "
SOURCE
" directory.
If you do not happen to have Visual Studio, it is recommended to get it because it'll download all the required packages on its own, if they're not present. You can use Visual Studio's Free Community Edition. It'll work, as we've developed this application on it.
But, if for some reason, you don't want to or can't install Visual Studio, you will need to have .NET, Xamarin, Android SDK and required Packages in your system's local path for you to be able to compile and execute this application project.

Inspiration
This project was inspired by games run on command line. I recall there were numerous text based adventures meant to play on command line and I wanted to base the platform on cmd.
What it does
Keyboard Accuracy Game will try to replicate a retro cmd based game and will display a character the user should input. When input correctly, the user will be rewarded with points depending on time since last successful input and how long their streak has been running. The streak resets once the user inputs incorrectly and so will the amount of points rewarded. The user is given 60 seconds to try and gather as much points as possible.
The importance of this game, I believe, is the statistics displayed at the end of the session. Statistics such as % accuracy of correct keystrokes, highest streak, incorrect keystrokes, letters per second are what I'd say users would care about the most.
How I built it
I built this using only C++ as a challenge to familiarize myself with C++ syntax and it's strengths and weaknesses. I used chrono library and random library in order to support majority of the game's logic.
Challenges I ran into
Challenges were specifically creating the nearest thing to a true random generator. The default random methods C++ held were actually quite predictable and if seeded at a specific time it would be too linear. I noticed the trend in characters which were based on the default random methods, so I included a random engine with uniform int distribution. the seed was also based on time since epoch.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud to have developed a simple game which has obvious states(was able to practice state machine concepts). I'm also proud of being able to have started and ended a project which accomplished my main goals without having to brute force through bugs. The errors which occurred were at least logical to me and didn't take too long to understand or fix.
What I learned
I learned a lot about how C++ and OOP concepts, more specifically how it differs from other languages and the amount of control C++ provides supported by the amount of concepts the programmer should be responsible for.
What's next for Keyboard Accuracy Game
I'd like to create a scoreboard using a txt file which will be read every time a user plays. As followed by logic, the highest scores should be appended first. I'm already h

There are many exercise skills out there, but everyone is associating fitness with just physical fitness. That's where we get into the picture. We understand the importance of physical fitness but, at the same time, also value fitness in the form of a person's knowledge. So we came with a game that combines both.
What it does
The game goes like this, we ask five questions based on the category chosen by the user. After the user is done answering these questions, we start a workout routine for the user to perform, the number of exercises in the workout routine is based on the user's score in the quiz. Once the user is done with the workout routine, he/she has the choice to either continue with the same category or choose a different category of questions, and the cycle continues. This makes the user physically fit, as well as increases the user's knowledge base. It also utilizes the break between different exercises and helps the user use that time to increase his/her knowledge base.
How I built it
I built it using Alexa Skill SDK and the backend of the skill using AWS Services.
Give it a try:
"Alexa, ask Intent Fitness to start my fitness journey"
"Alexa, open Intent Fitness"
"Alexa, launch Intent Fitness"
Challenges I ran into
Faced problems while making scripts of every exercise, but able to do it after a lot of testing and proper implementation. As of now, our exercise base and workout routines are quite limited.
What's next for Mind & Body
After this campaign is over, we plan to introduce premium content with an in-skill purchase feature. In the premium version, the skill will also support multiple user profiles. For each profile, we will track his height, weight, calories burnt, exercise performed, and quizzes played and modify our quizzes and workout sessions accordingly. We will also suggest the user, weekly plans for the best output.
This is yet to achieve.

Inspiration
The main problem we are focusing is the inability of differently abled people to communicate with normal people or other differently abled people. Now, we are here with the combined Hardware and Software solution which is called
“EME”
, after analysing some problems. And, try to make the next generation Support Device for differently abled people. (Deaf, mute & Blind)
What it does
There is a Hardware project which consists of a Hand Gesture Recognition and Smart Blind Stick. Smart Blind Stick for “Blind People”, in this when object comes near to 1 m than less, then, buzzer beeping with increasing in beep frequency as object comes closer, through way they get an Alert.
Hand Gesture Recognition for “Dumb People (or mute people)”, because they have their own sign language but normal people don’t know the sign language which is used for intercommunication between mute people. This system will be useful to solve this problem and help them to make their interaction easily with the people. They can communicate hassle-free by using this device & with the help of our app EME, we converted gesture pattern into text to Speech.
In our app, there so many specifications-
Speech to Text (for Deaf people, to understand other people communication)
Text to Speech (for Dumb people with bluetooth connectivity)
Text to Speech (for Normally use)
How we built it
In the Hardware of this project, Smart Blind Stick for “Blind People” using Adruino, Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04, IR Sensor & Buzzer to give alert and Hand Gesture Recognition for “Dumb People” using Arduino, Bluetooth HC 05, LDR Sensors & our app EME, through we convert gesture pattern into text to Speech.
We build our app on Flutter which is a hybrid platform using dart language. Because Flutter apps can run on ios and android devices. Then, Text to Speech with bluetooth connection and Speech to Text were implemented with our skills.
Challenges we ran into
Due to lockdown, we don’t have much hardware components. So, we try to figure out this with Arduino Uno and Bluetooth in specific time duration. Also, make an app with such functioning is new to us.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Working of Hand Gesture recognition is so efficiently and accurately. Also, make a this device very cheap around 13 USD. ( There some sensors in market whose cost around 30 USD each then for four fingers 120 USD with other components additional cost also)
And, converted Text to Speech & Speech to Text successfully.
What we learned
Learned a lot about that without having much components, how to make efficient project in hardware in specific time and also, learned about the new sensors.
Moreover, built a more functioning mobile app.
What's next for EME
In terms of enhancing the project, we can introduce Obstacle alert Helmet for Blind People using circular rotate sensor like a radar and with the help of Gyrometer in hand gesture, we can increase the limits of signs means able for whole sentence instead of common words.
In terms of marketing the product, we would like to initially target differently abled people center of our region.

, we created a backend that stores all the quotes being written by people, along with their name and where they're from. We also created a detailed and personal frontend using
Javascript, HTML5, CSS, and Bootstrap.
*
Overall, we spent 8 hours creating this project and deployed it using Heroku. *
Challenges we ran into
We struggled to properly format the quotes and dynamically add them to the website as they were being created by the user. Along with this, we struggled with storing and retrieving the quotes from the SQL database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to create a simple and intuitive interface to allow the users to view and write quotes with ease. We also successfully integrated the database with the frontend quotes display.
What we learned
We learned how to collaborate as a team in order to develop both ends of the website smoothly.
What's next for ThinkPos
We plan on deploying and publishing ThinkPos in order to allow people from around the world to use this platform frequently.

Inspiration
The inspiration when making the game was the lack of simplistic and relieving games on the market. I found that many games were focused towards dark mystery puzzles like The Room and FPS action shooters like COD Modern Warfare on mobile. And for a person like me, I believe that these calm and relieving puzzles games really do positively impacts one’s health and mental.
How to Play
Each level is associated to a positive word. When you click on a level you transition to the 3D scene which you play the game. Whenever you tap a tile, the tile and its adjacent tiles will flip to its other side. The objective of the game is to solve the puzzle by having all the tiles flipped onto one side. Although the objective seems simple, it turns to be addictive and harder than expected.
How I built it
I created this game using the Godot Engine. When creating the assets like the trees, grass, cactus, and water I aimed towards a low poly design. The game’s playtime is a lot longer than expected due to the sheer difficulty of the puzzles. The arcade style of the game is a lot of fun and I had a great time making it. The puzzles are created using instances of tiles which gets its flip data from 2D arrays.
What I learned
Overall, the process was difficult for when I was making it. This was one of my first games using the Godot engine so I learned a lot throughout the whole process. It was extremely time-consuming learning the engine, creating the game, and learning how to 3D models, however it was both enlightening and fun in the long run.
What's next for FLI-P Game
I hope that one day I could publish the game if I ever get back to it.

SaniSafe
Disinfect. Defend. Daily.
SaniSafe is an innovative, 3-in-1 disinfection device for PPE masks, gloves, face shields, and gowns, and more—you can use it at home, at work, and at play. SaniSafe provides a way to re-use PPE kits at least once or twice, helping in reducing the demand for such equipment.
Fighting COVID-19
Why UV?
UV light is known for being a highly effective disinfectant, especially UV-C with its short wavelength. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, the need for effective, reliable disinfecting solutions is more urgent than ever. Seeing the depletion in the worldwide stock of safety equipment due to an exponential increase in demand due to the pandemic has created the need for a method or a device that can make re-using this equipment possible. The idea for SaniSafe emerged while observing these needs.
Key Features
SaniSafe has a hollow cuboidal structure which can be ideally made from ABS or Polylactic Acid polymer, made from biological materials such as cornstarch or sugarcane. A number of UV lamps are attached in it to provide 360° UV-C exposure. SaniSafe also provides an option of disinfectant spray, which is not yet offered in any other competitor's concepts. The device also has a laser sensor-enabled liquid hand sanitizer dispenser attached to it.
Product Demo

Challenges
The main challenge we faced was in the field of designing our project as there is no other reference available. At last, we created a system that would bring down the expenditure on PPE and face masks by 60%.
Next Steps
We aim to make our device more autonomous and user friendly in the next prototype.

Inspiration
To make messaging easier for the average person, and for professions that include a substantial amount of acronyms such as Doctors and Pilots to communicate with co-workers faster especially when time is crucial.
What it does
It allows anyone to create their own custom acronyms so they can save time while messaging others. You can add, search, delete, and overwrite acronyms. Our application has common acronyms out of the box such as "ikr" or "btw", but users can also add additional presets. Currently, there are three presets that can be imported: everyday, medical, and piloting. We also created some fancy features such as text to speech, download, email, and SMS.
How we built it
With Golang as the server-side language and HTML/CSS/JS on the frontend. This was done by creating an API on the server.
Challenges we ran into
Some git issues and plenty of bugs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The additional features and pulling off the creation of two frontends, a modern and retro version.
What we learned

Inspiration
This was the final semester project I made in college. Most of my classmates were making Web Applications or AI Applications using third party databases. I was also initially going to make a web application using Mongo DB but then I wondered if I could I also create a database by myself. My favorite language is javascript and I had this idea of a serverless database. So I decided that I will make my own database using Node Js as the final year project.
What it does
It is a serverless NoSql database. It is a great candidate for an application database or a key value datastore. It is incredibly fast when data is logically distributed into multiple documents. Lazlodb can also be hosted on a server with a client facing api. Its strengths are portability and ease of use.
How I built it
I built it using Node Js. These are some of the features of lazlodb.
Databases do not require an isolated environment. They can
exist anywhere
, even in your code repository or cloud folder.
Data is stored in
.laz
files in MessagePack encoded form. As
MessagePack
is smaller than JSON, it takes less space & hence the files are compact.
Each
.laz
file represents a
document
(or a table in sql).
All documents exist in a database, which is essentially a folder being tracked by lazlo.
Very
easy
to learn and use.
Multiple commands for the same operation (Eg. newdoc & create doc both will create a new document).
Inbuilt caching
system caches recently queried documents leading to faster responses.
Extensive use of
terminal styling
for the cli client (Eg. Success messages are displayed in green & errors are displayed in red).
Command auto-completion
available for the cli client (Eg. Type create & press tab. You will get recommendations for all commands starting with create).
Powerful
inbuilt logger
which logs all the transactions.
Challenges I ran into
At that time this was my biggest solo coding project.
I was still learning much about Node Js, so I made several mistakes. Node Js is known for causing trouble to amateurs. Thankfully I had stackoverflow to the rescue.
It was the first software I published to NPM.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud I could make the project the way I wanted to.
What I learned
I learned several new things in Javascript and Node Js, specifically about correctly implementing modules and callbacks to create an efficient non blocking asynchronous piece of software. I must say that I write far better code now compared to when I was creating lazlodb.
What's next for lazlodb
Its been almost 2 years since that project. After lazlodb I also created a standalone lazlo library for Javascript and deployed lazlodb on a server with auto update and auto backup features. The library is called
lazlo-node
and the server deployment example is
lazlo-on-server
. I had stopped the development of lazlodb after my project submission in college. But I am considering a release of version 2 with more features like blob support, encryption and user accounts.

Inspiration
As the number of patients of COVID-19 continues to increase at an unpredictable rate, the number of beds in hospitals and centers set up by the government fall short of the requirement by a huge margin. The condition is so severe that the reports indicating the incidents of patients being kept on streets have surfaced recently. All patients are not required to be kept in specialized care units. Home quarantine and isolation with proper guidelines can be implemented in these less severe cases. This project is created to bridge the gap between the medical service provider and the patient.
What it does
Specialized care is expensive and not required by everyone, this will provide an inexpensive alternative to conventional methods.
-The extreme pressure on hospital beds will be reduced and more beds will be available to those in actual need.
-Early and efficient intervention and identification of suspected patients will help reduce the spreading of this highly contagious infection.
This service has two interfaces, which we will individually deal with in the subsequent sections:
Patient service side
The patients can install the android app and create an account. There is a choice between three categories which were already mentioned in the target user section. The patient then creates an account with the hospital of their choice. If the hospital is available then the patient can log in the app using their phone number as password, which can be changed later. The patient (or an active relative or nurse) can update the medical parameters viz, BP, Temperature, SPO2, Respiratory Rate, and AVPU value. The values entered are timely updated in the database and are monitored by the hospital on the website.
Moreover, each parameter has a set of information about it for instance, What is blood pressure?, How do we measure it? and other guidelines to use the instrument along with links to online tutorials to do so.
Hospital service side
Hospitals can register on the website by filling the sign-up form and can approve the registration of patients.
The dashboard of every hospital displays a list of patients by sorting them on the basis of their MEWS, displaying the more severe patients above and then the less severe once. The doctors can click on the specific patient account to see more details regarding his medical condition. Seeing the MEWS score and SPO2 values the doctors can decide which patients to immediately shift to the hospital.
How we built it
As mentioned above, we have two sides of this project i.e. app and the website and all the technical details are mentioned below:
Tech stack used:
-Java: the android app has been written in the Java language with the help of Android Studio.
-Django: the website is written using Django as the backend framework.
-Bootstrap: the frontend of the website is written using bootstrap.
-Firebase: Firebase has been used as the cloud backend service for the app.
-PostgreSQL: the database management system of the website.
Challenges we ran into
COVCare, as a service, can act as a bridge between medical practitioners and the patients. In order to accomplish this, this service requires active participation of the administration, hospitals and the patients. Fabrication of such a system was a major issue. We agreed upon a system of mobile application and a website to best suit our purpose.
We had to contact doctors to get real time information regarding the guidelines and monitoring protocols implementable currently.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Certain features of the application that we are proud of and which make this project stand out are:
-This project not only helps the patient to connect with the doctors but also makes it easy for the doctors to analyze and monitor their patients.
-This project is very user friendly, the patients are provided with ample information so as to measure the parameters, they are provided with video links as well. The patients are reminded through notifications to fill in the data.
-No unnecessary information has been asked and the forms are kept informationally tight.
What we learned
This project requires the implementation of Django, BOOTSTRAP, and Java. We learned a great deal about the implementation of these languages to suit our requirements. Several bugs we encountered helped us to engage more with the project. Along with these technical skills we also acquainted ourselves with medical details regarding the coronavirus monitoring, classification of patients in L1, L2, L3 as well as people qualifying for quarantine. This project also motivated us to learn basic skills like Prioritization (80-20 Pareto Principle), team-work, video-making, and a variety of soft skills.
What's next for COV Care
Several essential features can be implemented to make this service more useful. Some of the various features we could not include due to time constraints-
-The application can be expanded to accommodate an information portal rendering important and correct information regarding COVID-19 to dispel all the fake news regarding it.
-A Patient-Doctor chat feature can be introduced to enable direct communication between doctor and patient.
-Notification service can be implemented to notify the worsening condition of a patient to the doctor.
-General improvement of layout and aesthetics.
-Some additional features to make the application easier to use.
-Expansion of the website to allow hospitals to monitor L2 patients in wards and to be notified when the patient needs to be moved to ICU.

level up and upgrades
Inspiration
As a kid, there was a minigame that I loved that featured tanks battling it out. I wanted the minigame to have upgrades, more levels, bigger maps, and online multiplayer. I built it so that I could share the fun with my friends and show them a piece of my childhood.
What it does
It's an online game! You can play single player or multiplayer by clicking Multiplayer and then choosing your own game room code. Use WASD to move and point and click to shoot. Be careful - bullets will ricochet off the walls.
How I built it
It's a funny story - I actually was building a real time strategy game for a hackathon, which was way too much to try at once. It turns out that during the hackathon, I built the real time socket communication portion. Then afterwards, I decided to build this game as a way to test my socket library, "corridors" (available on npm but deprecated now).
I used Phaser.io (Phaser 1, I believe), and the rest is pure html, css, and javascript. The sockets were done with socket.io (this was before Websocket was a standard protocol) and the server is running node.js. I deployed to Heroku (hence the strange url).
Challenges I ran into
The multiplayer part was the most confusing - how do you sync up the players? The logic that I built for it was complex enough that I abstracted it into its own library and used my own library to complete this project.
There are more confusing bits that I had to work out:
rotating the body of the tank and the head separately
rotating the body (try moving and you'll see the tank doesn't move until the body is rotated to the correct direction) conditionally based on its proximity to the wanted direction
creating the map editor, laying out the grids, and coming up with ideas for enemy tanks
etc.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I love seeing people play this game. It's retro - it makes me think of my childhood. And the multiplayer aspect is always a neat surprise.
I'm also proud of it because I built it all the way through, from scratch, and as a first attempt at an online game, it plays pretty well.
What I learned
Before I made Tanks, I had only ever made Flash games. This was my first attempt at a non-flash web game, and I have to say, it was amazing! It runs faster and doesn't depend on the Flash runtime. I also learned that intelligent AI can be hard-coded, it's okay. The AI in this game is pretty hard-coded and yet the enemies still seem pretty smart.
What's next for Tanks!
Someday I'll go back and update this game. I've learned a lot about software engineering since I built it, and I think I can make it even better. It also has some hilarious bugs and cheats available, so I might have to fix those. Well, some of them :)

Virtual Garden
Garden Log
Inspiration
Earth’s population is increasing, but its land is not. We decided to create a gardening app to help anyone to create a sustainable farm in their very own home while supporting local farms.
What it does
If you are looking to escape from the daily stresses of life or are looking to become a master grower Grow Me is for you. With information about 400,000 plants you can grow virtually anything in your backyard! Grow Me can help you plan and track your garden efficiently and effectively with our virtual garden planner and receive daily reminders to water your plants.
How I built it
The front-end was built with HTML, CSS, React, and TypeScript. We used trefle.io as an API for our project. We also used RxJs for asynchronous state management. The back-end was a combination of Firebase and Java + Spring.
Challenges I ran into
The first challenge we ran into was finding an API or library with the data we wanted. Even after we found a good API, we needed to set up an RxJs store so that data calls could be made effectively and asynchronously. Finally, it was a challenge to make the virtual garden portion of our project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We’re proud that we were able to fetch, display, filter and sort the data, and allow users to create a virtual garden. We're also proud that we are able to develop the front-end and the back-end.
What I learned
As a team, we learned how to use APIs to fetch data, and how to create a backend with Java and Spring. We also learned a lot about gardening and plants.
What's next for Grow Me
We would like to create a GrowMe community that will support and encourage new growers to turn their backyard into a mini farm. We’d also like to improve our database by adding more varieties and info of our plants. Ideally, we'd also like to generate the virtual garden from a satellite image, and calculate amount of sunlight, etc. using Machine Learning. We are also going to try to get an SSL certificate and make our website secure. We believe with more detailed data and more features our project can become a real company!

Inspiration
Climate change is a serious issue in the world today. Current efforts to solve and promote the issue of climate change has not been much effective. In our opinions, the key to solve climate change is to get more advocates, but in what why? That was the question we were stuck on. After doing hours of brainstorming and research, we found out that if there were more young people in the society who were more knowledgeable about the issue and know the potential effects of climate change, they will be more motivated to spread the information and change their lifestyle. Thus, we created our app with a slight twist to it: we filled the app with different interesting games for you to learn more about climate change, which could possibly motivate you to take action. There is, of course, also information which you can read if you prefer it that way.
What it does
Our climate change app has several sections. Firstly, there is a quiz which you can do to test out your carbon footprint and see how many Earths it would take if everyone lives like you. In the quiz, it asks you few simple questions about your daily lifestyle. After you have completed the quiz, you get to know a cool fact (if everyone lived like you, how many earths it would take) that might serve as a motivation to what you can do to help alleviate the severity of climate change! Secondly, there is a short quiz on climate change which tests your knowledge on general information on climate change. This quiz allows you to learn from your mistake and gain more knowledge on the basic facts of climate change. Thirdly, there is a place for you to learn more information on climate change. Even if you think you know everything about this issue, there is always more to learn! In this section, you can choose to either read facts or generate facts about climate change. Both ways are great ways to learn but it all depends on you and how you learn best! Fourthly, there is a place where you can learn about how you can help. This section is also divided on to two sections, a fun game or a short passage to read. The game is where you have to answer true or false questions of what you should do to contribute to alleviating the severity of climate change while also playing a game. The game is mischievous so get ready! Also, there is an instructions page before the game starts. Additionally, there is a place for you to learn how the ongoing pandemic (COVID-19) has affected the world. There are lots of interesting and very surprising facts and diagrams that we have created ourselves so make sure to look and read through that! Specifically, the diagrams and text compare aspects of the world before COVID-19 and during COVID-19. Last but not least, there is a tab for collection of games relating to climate change. These creative games are fun and are meant to motivate people.
How we built it
How we built this app is through a variety of steps. Firstly, we had to think of ideas to code for and what to include in our app. Secondly, we had to actually code. This step was of course, the most important step, so it took the longest. Over the days of the hackathon, we spent hours working together as a team and programming to make an app that can make a change in the world.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges we ran into along the way were ample. The progress of programming is never easy; a bug in your code can lead to potentially hours of searching for the source of the error. When we started coding for this app, we were first stuck because we had no idea what to code. Then, in order to resolve this issue, we looked around Google for global issues and noticed just how big the problem of climate change is. Thus, we, without a doubt, chose climate change and started working on what to include in our app. We decided that the best way to approach climate change is with a twist: we decided to fill the app with fun games and exciting quizzes to inspire people to join us in the battle against climate change. Over the days of the hackathon, we also sometimes had trouble coding. Sometimes, we as a team would have no idea how to continue. To resolve that, it required preservation, teamwork and resilience. We battled through the obstacles and spent long hours figuring out what to code and how to go about the app. All in all, though we definitely ran into loads of obstacles along the way, it was still a great learning experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
In the process of creating this app, there has been times where I feel proud of succeeding but there has also been times where I felt down for not being able to do something. However, I always made sure to know that failure brings you to success! Specifically, we are proud of the collection of games tab. In this tab, there are four games that allows people to interact with the app while also learning more about this issue. The first game is the fun fact generator. This can teach people about climate change. The second game is the save the earth game. In this game, the player have to try to get the image of the earth to touch the balls while also answering questions about what you can do to help. This is an excellent way to let the player learn about climate change while not feeling bored. The third game is the draw the earth game. This game is directed to children as they are allowed to have fun, be creative while learning. The last app is the catch the carbon dioxide game. This app is similar to the catch-the-mole game.
What we learned
From creating this app, we have learned that climate change is a much more urgent and serious issue than we thought it was. It is important to note that it is probably not only us who just recognised it, there are so much people out there that doesn't take climate change as seriously as it seems. From researching about climate change to incorporate into my fun fact generator to making games that motivates people to do something about climate change, it really upsets me to know that the climate is warming, animals are not living their desired life, plants' population are slowly declining, animals are going critically endangered and extinct but... so many people are not doing anything about it. Additionally, I have learned that many of the climate change activists has actually been exposed to this issue at a very young age. Therefore, by creating this app, I decided to add more components that is fun and exciting for children like catch the CO2 and draw the earth so that we can have more of activists in the near future.
What's next for Clean and Green
After creating this app, we, as a team, have decided to publish it to the internet so that the public can use it to learn more about climate change in a less boring and more exciting way. Instead of having facts thrown at them, they have the opportunity to learn through games and interact with the app. We are still trying to find more ways to get more people to use this app!

A bunch of piezoelectric sensors!
An inside view of the shoe. 17 piezoelectric sensors can be seen in this side. There is an additional 16 sensors on the other side.
The top down view of the shoe (without the styrofoam)
Summary
The average American walks approximately 3,500 steps per day; each step creates mechanical energy, energy which ends up being wasted and dispersed into the environment. Tapping into this wasted energy opens a door for opportunities to supplement the user’s actions. Varying amounts of piezoelectric sensors were used to generate this energy which gets stored in a LiPo battery through the aid of the BQ25570 chip. My design used 33 piezoelectric sensors, which generated, approximately 0.27 volts or 23.625 mAh just after 60 steps. If a user wore this shoe and walked the average amount of steps per day, they would generate 1,378.125 mAh! In addition, I developed an add-on to this project that adds an Arduino Nano with an Accelerometer and Gyroscope sensor. The data from these sensors are run through a neural network that predicts the behavior the user is doing. For example, if the user is jumping it will predict they are jumping.
How I built it
The hardware component of this project has one layer of styrofoam on the top and bottom. This protects the piezoelectric sensors and increases comfort for the user. Then there are two layers of cardboard, each side of the cardboard has 8-9 piezoelectric sensors, connected in series. The two cardboard pieces are connected in parallel. There is then a thin piece of paper between the two cardboard pieces, to make sure no wires short out when they touch each other.
The software uses Keras with TensorFlow. I created a Google Cloud Virtual Machine Instance, which runs a python script that reads in data regarding user's motion and then with Keras and TensorFlow creates a model of the data that can be used for prediction.
Challenges I ran into
Developing the hardware of the shoes took the bulk of my time. I have never used Piezoelectric sensors before, so I had to learn how to use them. In addition, it took me a while to optimize the energy outputted from the shoe. The green BQ25570 chip helped me do that though.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This is the world's most efficient shoe that generates electricity! Other solutions mostly use different means to generate electricity. My solution used Piezoelectric sensors, and then the BQ25570 chip to control the flow of electricity from the two capacitors on the chip to the battery. This minimizes the electricity wasted.
What I learned
I learned a lot! In general, I am better at software related projects, this project, being a hardware-first project, increased my skills in dealing with hardware. I got better at soldering, understanding the mathematical calculations of voltage and current, Piezoelectric sensors, Arduinos and various hardware compounds. On the software side, this was my first time using Google Cloud. I am now comfortable in creating complex Virtual Machines in the cloud that can run various advanced scripts.
What's next for Generating Electricity By Walking
I want to add a wifi/Bluetooth chip into the Arduino Nano, this will enable the data from the accelerometer and gyroscope to transfer to a web server in the cloud without the need of a wire. With this advancement, I could develop a mobile/web app that tracks various foot-related fitness activities, including jumping, running and walking.

Final product
Inspiration
Desire is always a need to start something off. “Necessity is the mother of Innovation”. We are reviewing one of our older projects with a twist for tackling this pandemic. It is already seen that the world is now trying to tackle this jinxed virus, COIVD-19. These robots are being used across the world to serve the patients at the isolated wards and even to the people in quarantine. It can be clearly observed that the generation of robots has now come, due to the shortage of the personal protective equipment (PPE). Countries are trying to adopt artificial beings which are called robots. It is statistically proven that the robots had already seen a hike in demand. one of the main reasons for switching to robots are, it can be autonomous. Multiple technologies can be added to aid the patient and the doctors, stationing the robots helps to reduce further human contact which is sort of a taboo in the current situation. The aid -form robots can range from entertaining the patients to taking their required tests and furthermore by even spraying disinfectants in meantime.
What it does
There is a wide range of variation when it comes to the assist we get from a robot. Especially in this case, we can expect a lot as the technology keeps on improving gradually. As told above in the inception of the robot, it can be used being more interactive with the people it has come to check with like the medical staff, patients and many others. It can be employed to keep spraying disinfectants on the floor, and can be used to test the people's “remote help for the doctors” which in turn helps by lowering the risk for the medical workers, it will soon be capable of delivering food!! To the patients in the isolation wards.
Deploying these robots will certainly embrace safety and allow humans and robots to work together.
How we built it
It was our very first idea for a rover which can be equipped with a camera which provides live video feed. It has a very basic chassis and components such as raspberry-pi, motor controller, dc motors and jumper cables. It was built as a project for submission during internal assessment. We scavenged for parts form wherever possible and tried to build it. It will be very evident by the pictures as it is robust. It has object detection software which can help in recognizing people. We programmed it to be controlled by numerous methods,namely, bluetooth,website and a self-autonomous mode too. The website has controls and a window for live video feed, currently with zero lag if provided with a stable connection.
Challenges we ran into
1.Integrating IBM cloud-based API for object detection was one of the challenges, it was harder due to the unstable WiFi connection.
2.Controlling gpio pins of rover using HTML tags was difficult this was overcome by defining gpio pins and functions in separate files.
3.Getting a hold of many parts was impossible due to the pandemic.
4.Network issues were at their peaks and no one could do their work properly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made this in our first year when everyone else was busy with making new friends and trying to fit in, this was our way of having fun.
2.It is our very first project and it still works.
There is a lot of scope for modifications if provided with right amount of funds.
4 Our university recognizes our efforts towards this project.
As of now, the pandemic has prevented us from further development.
What we learned
We've learnt a lot since our very first project. we've learnt to respect each other's perspectives on the same idea. Learning is a continuous process, events like these remind us that there's always something new to learn. "Slow and steady wins the race", we want this project to be widely used in the near future but we will not rush things by sacrificing the quality of the build.
What's next for ASTUTE BOT
We have been selected for the IBM disaster management bounty for the same idea and are looking forward for financial help from our university to make our very first large-scale model. This team also receives help from students in different parts of the country, from various universities. Our aim is to make these products commercially available with numerous modifications/attachments so that they can be used various situations and not only for a pandemic.

10,380 | https://devpost.com/software/morsepi | In line with this hackathon, it makes it look more than 5 years old.
Fun fact, it's flashing "Hello, World!", I had it flash the beginning to Alice in Wonderland but it was too long and Hello World felt more appropriate.
Inspiration
My Inspiration was Solely based on Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold. The intro story talks about how two children living across the street didn't have a phone, the only way they could communicate was flashlights. It walked me through the understanding of what it means to store, transmit and receive data. I wanted to replicate it using the fundamental tools I had, a resistor, LED and the GPIO pins of a raspberry pi.
What it does
It runs a python script to convert text into flashes of the led. The text is programmed using SSH to change the python script or manually changing the script on the MicroSD card on another computer.
How I built it
A raspberry pi continuously runs a python loop that interacts with the GPIO pin. The script has each character mapped out by me that corresponds with the proper dot-dash and pause for letter and word as well as punctuation. The script interacts with the GPIO pin changing the voltage high or low depending on if the LED should be on. The circuit is then completed using a resistor to ground. An SSH server is running so the message to display could be changed by changing the script.
Challenges I ran into
My main issue was the timing of the GPIO pin and getting the polarity of my LED right. I tried to fit the RPi I had in a flashlight but it was too big. I am also limited to using a chromebook as my only laptop, so my graphics and video presentation is lacking. Another challenge was finding out the right timing for on off, dot, dash, I know there is a library but I wanted to do everything from scratch. I had to make a switch statement for every letter.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of how little technology I used and kept an almost retro out of the garage lab feel. I have a CS degree and have not done any electrical engineering course outside of high school level physics. I am proud how I basically made a programmable flashlight that I can send Morse code messages through.
What I learned
I learned how important the hardware part of a circuit is when making a IOT driven device. I learned a lot about low level interactions of the GPIO pins and what hi and lo is and how certain LEDs would only work with at certain Voltages. I also learned how important clock timing when dealing with timing anything electronic that is controlled by a RPi.
What's next for MorsePi
I think a brighter and more LEDs would make a big difference. I would love to put it in a old flashlight. With the raspberry pi zero, and new skinny battery packs, I could have it run and change the message encoded on the fly from SSHing from my phone.

Inspiration
I really think AR is a tool that bridges the old and the new. And some classic board games and puzzles are still really fun, but they shouldn't be discounted because they were created before the digital age. I think adding new components to established games could breathe new life into them. People wrote Tetris off as an old school game until they developed a competitive mode. People laughed at the concept of Wizard Chess in Harry Potter when the pieces attacked each other, and everyone loved the idea of their Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh cards coming to life and now with AR this is all possible. It just surprises me that companies with successful IP's haven't made these features accessible to the mass casual gaming market, especially after the monumental success of Pokemon GO.
What it does
The camera searches for the allocated image, that being of a correctly completed rubik's cube side. Once it recognises the target image, the animation is triggered and the League of Legends character pops up and attacks.
How I built it
There's Windows friendly software call Obsidian, which allows you to fish out the various animations from League of Legends once you download it, I then imported the models and animations into Blender or Maya, scale the animations and check the imported textures, import the reworks into SparkAR Studio, apply the animation controller (for a final working version probably turn off loop animation) and set the target image tracker to a captured photo of the rubik's cube's completed sides.
(Disclaimer: The image Tracking tends to work best with iPhones, and the test links and videos are in order they're posted. 1st link being for the yellow side which is Volibear, 2nd link being for the red side which is Garen and the 3rd link being for the blue side which is Ashe).
Challenges I ran into
I'm still yet to find animation software that imports 3D animations with the textures and materials, the champion textures and materials have a lot more parts so finding what goes where can be a bit of a mission sometimes. Also turns out image tracking works best for iPhones.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learning about AR and building a filter portfolio with 90 million impressions, when I have an arts degree, not one in engineering or computer sciences.
What I learned
That I enjoy interactive, physically engaging games, that just sitting at a PC clicking a mouse isn't too enjoyable for me. Hopefully I find a market of people out there that think differently in what types of play and entertainment there is out there.
What's next for League of Legends AR Puzzle game
I developed a fully fledged demo for mobile in Unity with 2D puzzles, a life counter, timer, marketing plan and rules which I sent to Riot Forge, Riot Gaming's Indie publishing branch but never received a response, I'd love to get their attention so that Augmented Reality Puzzle Games could maybe become a game category moving forward. If I continue with the concept of a Rubik's cube, maybe it'll be cool to get to a point where different pattens play different animations as well, like if you make an X pattern it heals you or certain colour combinations do more damage, that way it becomes a memory game as well, so that just memorising the algorithm to solve one side of the rubik's cube won't guarantee a win. I'm honestly just experimenting with games I would like to see in the market with the hopes of gaining the attention of either Riot or Wizards of the coast.

MOTIVATION
When we sat down as a group to decide what problem we could target, we came across something that happens every day, yet goes
completely unnoticed
. In layman’s terms, we realized that while everyone releases carbon emissions during their daily or weekly travels, truly, no one is able to visualize or understand their impact on the environment because there is no way to track their emissions. Thus, the idea of
MINUS
was born, focused on educating individuals to
reduce
their emissions by bringing awareness and having a social aspect to it all by being able to compete with friends for the lowest emissions.
WHAT IT DOES
As stated before,
MINUS
creates a community focused around emission awareness. The basis of the app is simple: start the app and log your trip. Using the Google ActivityRecognition Client, we are able to automatically detect the form of the vehicle the user travelled on during their trip. Using that information, we then apply the emission rate for that form of vehicle and calculate their total carbon emissions.
Simply knowing their emissions wouldn’t be enough though. We knew that we had to implement a way for users to use this info and educate themselves and give back, and thus, we created the option to offset their emissions. Offsetting is a simple, but powerful concept - our app calculates the dollar amount that would offset their emissions during the drip. For example, in the trip demonstrated in the app, a donation of $5.78 would offset the carbon emissions during the 3.2-kilometre trip.
From any trip (or by accessing their trip history), users can offset a trip of their choice by donating to organizations such as The Rainforest Foundation or the Sustainable Urban Development Association. These organizations are a great way to take accountability for your emissions by giving back to the environment!
The community tab is a great way to bring a sense of social interaction into this app. From this menu, you are able to see which of your friends has offset most of their carbon emissions and furthermore, you are able to see your ranking against the global community. For all rankings, you can sort by daily, weekly, monthly and all-time.
The profile tab houses information all about you! From this menu, a visually appealing graph depicts your carbon emissions by month, with an option to see stats by day.
HOW IT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED
The beauty of
MINUS
is that it tracks available data and creates a community based on emission awareness. Countries around the world can implement
MINUS
as an emission reduction incentive, similar to other energy incentives where customers get rebates when they get renewable energy sources like solar panels. With the tools at their disposal, countries can allow users to redeem their donations for free access to city recreational facilities or early access to events. Or, the classic rebate system works just fine as well, with countries being able to set a targeted threshold and users who achieve weekly emissions results below would be able to get cashback or rebates an incentive to continue lowering their emissions. Truly, there are an enormous amount of possibilities in the way a system like ours can be implemented across a city, nation or even worldwide.
HOW WE BUILT IT
Our team built
MINUS
with Flutter, an SDK developed by Google to build native interfaces for Apple and Android platforms with one codebase. This provided us with the tools to create an appealing user interface as well as the integrated animations that enhances the user experience and flow between menus. The user authentication and database were handled with Firebase Auth and Cloud Firestore. We stored the individual users under each document in an organized manner to maximize the efficiency in querying data to the app. The Google maps API was utilized to create aesthetically pleasing maps to keep track of and to calculate the distance the user has travelled in order to determine their carbon emission. Google Activity Recognition API was used to dictate the type of vehicle the user is in since the calculation will defer according to their vehicle of choice.
CHALLENGES WE RAN INTO
The major challenge we ran into was creating the Flutter application in accordance with the design mock-up we made during the planning phase of the development. We had a grand vision for what we wanted the app to look like, but due to our limited skill with Flutter and the given time frame, we were unable to implement our vision to the fullest. The animations were especially challenging to implement in the given time frame as time-based code caused a plethora of cascading issues. Another issue was the lack of documentation on Flutter integration with the Google Maps API due to the SDK still being in its Beta phase, which left us to learn primarily on our own and a lot of debugging to get it to work. Moreover, we had trouble with the Activity Recognition Client because it was a new API that we were new to. The Firebase Cloud Store queries were difficult to implement for different leaderboards dynamically where it updates every time someone offsets their carbon emissions.
WHAT WE LEARNED
We learned to utilize the Google Maps API and Google Activity Recognition API to its full extent. This included, formatting physical markers, direction lines, vehicle detection, and tracking a user. Not only that, we improved our previous knowledge on Flutter. Integrating animations and transitions to the app was something we have never tried before. Firebase was a technology we have used before, however, we learned to use more dynamically for much larger models.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
We set our vision on developing an app that creates awareness and offsetting the rapidly increasing CO2 levels. The main accomplishment was achieving this vision we had in mind and if launched, we believe that this app could really revolutionize the way we reduce our carbon emissions. Other than that, we are very proud of all the skills we learned along the way that will surely help us when making an app in the future such as working with Firebase, Google Maps API and Flutter for the front-end design.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR MINUS
We’re quite proud of what we were able to accomplish in the short time allocated, but we still believe there is room for improvement. For one, we didn’t have enough time to get animations down perfectly, and doing so would fully enhance the UI and create fluidity from menu to the menu. Next, we wish to implement a dataset that tracks the emissions by the exact make and model of the car. By doing so, users can get an even more accurate report of their emissions during their trips and make even better choices for the environment. Once we have all the problems fixed and sorted out, we want to publish
MINUS
to the global market and truly make a difference.
Join MINUS.
Become a better you.

How I built it
1View was built using React. The Ant Design library was used to create all the custom UI components in 1View and all the styles were overridden to match with monday design guidelines. With the support of inbuilt monday JS SDK, GraphQL APIs, storage services and events I was able to process and store all the data relevant for 1View.
All the cell renders, filters and sortings were written from scratch using the occasional support of Underscore JS. At the initial stage of the implementation, I developed 1View as a local React app to increase productivity and to reduce build times. In this process, monday API playground gave me a great support to generate hard coded data for local app development.
Once I finished the critical part, I deployed the app using ngrok to monday and was able to integrate actual APIs and services. This way of development saved me a lot of time when debugging and coding the application. Being the sole developer, it took me around 5 weeks to complete and finish the entire application.
Challenges I ran into
Lack of documentation for some monday JS SDK events was a challenge at the initial stage. Then I used to look at the SDK source code and identify certain parameters and behaviors which was not in the documentation at that time. Initial request to extend the trial period was not succeeded through forms. I resolved this by attending the 2 day online workshop and directly asking a monday developer. He gave me a great support on extending the trial period.
Building monday like data cells, filters and sorting was a great challenge and had to do extensive testing to see if they are working as expected in all states. Lack of support for more events in boards is still a issue and only a handful events are currently supported by monday. When it comes to column types like formula and progress, still monday does not provide required cell data through APIs.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
At the start of the implementation I had a picture in my mind about how the final app should look like. I was able to add more features than the original idea and really proud about the final output and the app functionality. Also, I created a separate website to market the application and proud about the things I was able to achieve within this short period of time being a solo developer.
What's next
There is a roadmap ahead for 1View and hope to add continuous updates and features in future. Features like dark mode support, group summaries were not able to add due to the limited time and I'm hoping to add these in the future. Also, I'm open for user feedback and 1View will improve continuously with time.

Your Meetings view'
Your meeting notes view
Inspiration
At Meetly, we believe in the power of well-run meetings. It’s where ideas are formed and spread, decisions are taken and plans are made for the future. The right meeting template and workflow results in a focused, purposeful meeting. Meetly’s meeting-focused workspaces make it easy to create an agenda, assign action items, log decisions and set your meeting workflows for any meeting on your calendar.
What it does
Meetly creates collaborative workspaces for meetings on your calendar, where you and your team can take notes and follow a meeting template together. Our Monday integration allows users to Sync meetings from their calendar with specific projects on Monday.
Once meetings are selected they can use one of our pre-built templates or create their own specific template for the meeting. Since the meeting templates are a collection of widgets users can choose to "connect" specific widgets to specific groups on different boards, this means they can take notes and push action items during the meeting to different groups on different boards during the meeting without having to switch views or boards.
What's next for Meetly
Next, we are bringing our meeting automation workflows into Monday.
Users will be able to set rules such as "collect agenda items from all meeting attendees a day before the meeting" or "cancel the meeting two hours before if there is no agenda"

Inspiration
I take inspiration from my work as a
Software Project Manager
for companies like
Shazam
or
Imagination Technologies
and basically implement tools we were missing at the time which would help improve teams' performance, well being and output.
I'm a big fan of simple, beautiful UIs and data driven project management and decision making.
What it does
Visualises progress of project in a way that is visually attractive (pretty graphs and animations) and easy to understand for both management and team members (e.g. engineers).
It's focused on software development since that's my background, but can be used in any project based on Kanban board or where tasks/items change statuses.
App consists of 3 views:
Replay - Animated Kanban board. Great conversation starter for Retrospective meetings. You investigate status of the board at any given moment in the past, progress by single event (Status change), or you can just turn the Play button on and watch how your project unfolded in animation.
Statistics - Calculates various time statistics for selected Statuses. This way you can e.g. check data for a single column (Status) on your Kanban board or see your Lead Times by selecting all the columns (Statuses). Shows average, median, 80th/90th percentiles, max, standard deviation etc.
This view also lists tasks/items sorted by times spent in selected statuses, which is useful for identifying outliers.
Cumulative Flow Diagram - classic diagram, hugely useful diagram if you need to find and address bottlenecks in your process. Uses any Status field and from - to dates.
How I built it
I used Monday.com React boilerplate generator and took it from there. Project uses Typescript. I also use Rollbar for error monitoring, Snyk for dependency security checks.
Challenges I ran into
Understanding and using monday.com API. There are some undocumented features which I decided to use once the monday.com team confirmed they can be used. Namely,
columns.settings_str
data which contains some useful info about order of Statuses etc.
Analysing activity logs in performant way. Activity logs are used to generate historical data which is then visualised as CFD, various statistics, and animated Kanban board.
Animation of Kanban board. It has proven to be challenging to animate changes to Statuses in a way which is performant and visually attractive. I had to strike the balance between the two and make sure browser resources are not strained.
I used react-virtualized, dynamically generated CSS animation keyframes, efficient algorithms for processing activity log event and few other techniques to make the animation as smooth as possible.
Generation of example projects with large number of tasks changing statuses. I ended up creating project generator which simulates data returned from monday.com API.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Kanban board animations. "Replay" view is the bit I'm most proud of in this product.
I focused on usability and simplicity. I wanted to limit number of confusing View Settings.
Keeping in line with original monday.com UX to make the experience of using Views in this application seamless for users.
What I learned
monday.com API and GraphQL are cool. Haven't worked with GraphQL before.
Some libraries I haven't used before, e.g. react-virtualized
CSS Animations
What's next for Retrospective Tools
getting feedback from end users and taking it from there
optimisation (there wasn't enough time to do that unfortunately, but end product will definitely be speedier as there are some algorithms which could improved)

Installing it from the monday apps marketplace

.
Inspiration
I've been a CTO (and more recently a volunteering CIO for environmental NGOs) for many years.
One huge pain throughout my carrier was having to use different non-configurable workflow apps for different workflows.
Those apps didn't really talk to each other without a lot of coding or, more recently, complex zapier zaps. Luckily that problem is being solved by monday these days and the fact that I can implement almost all the workflows my organization needs with a single app using only configuration and almost no coding and zaps is amazing.
Another huge pain was to create customer facing website forms that initiate workflows that:
Match the website's brand and style and
Save the responses into the workflow app
For "no-budget" NGOs, I've been implementing this mainly with:
To create the forms - the form widget of the elementor page builder for wordpress.
To save the responses to my workflow app - cumbersome hard to maintain and modify Zapier zaps.
Once I heard that monday is opening an app store / apps marketplace, I realized that it has the potential to truly eliminate coding for ANY type of workflow, in a similar fashion to what shopify did for ecommerce with their app store - these days if shopify doesn't support it, you're almost certain to find an app in their app store that does what you need.
I'm hoping that eazyform will help monday customers to:
Eliminate coding and zaps for any customer facing form use case.
Easily and quickly implement workflows that require advanced and seamlessly embeddable website forms.
Eazyform is only the first app in a series of apps that I'm hoping will complement monday and help advance the much needed no-coding revolution for workflows.
UX wise, I was inspired by the elementor page builder, which, for me, is the easiest page and form builder for wordpress and also the most popular one. I love it's accurate WYSIWYG responsive editing experience.
What it does
A completely accurate WYSIWYG form editor
Create forms that look great on mobile devices
Order fields using drag and drop
Hide and show fields using drag and drop
Display multiple fields on the same line
, with the following field width options: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
Choose different colors for almost everything
Page background
Form title
Form description
Field
- label, description, placeholder, input background, and input border
Submit button
- text, background and border
Compact view
- hide labels and descriptions and
use input placeholders instead.
Completely accurate right to left support
with a single switch, to support right to left languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, etc.
Preview and
fill it directly inside the board view
Easily share the form via url
Get html code to
embed it in your site
Eliminate iframe scrollbars when embedding
by automatically adjusting the iframe height to the form's content
Switch between small, medium and large sized fields
in a single click.
Supports all of the the following column types:
name, text, long text, phone, email, link, numeric, date, checkbox, dropdown, status, country and rating.
For dropdown columns,
choose between single and multiple select fields
.
For single select fields (status, country and single select dropdowns),
choose between radios, buttons and dropdowns
for field input.
For multiple select fields (multiple select dropdowns)
choose between checkboxes, and dropdowns
for field input.
Add logo from url or svg code
and set the it's height - width will adjust automatically keeping aspect ratio.
Modify form title text, size, and alignment
Modify form description text, size and alignment
Make fields required
Modify field label, description and placeholder text
Modify submit button text, size, and alignment
Modify rounded corners
for fields and submit button
Thank you page options
Choose between internal and external thank you page
to redirect to after submission.
Modify internal
thank you page title and message
Add submit another response button
to thank you page
Create as many forms as you want for the same board by adding the eazyform board view to the board multiple times.
How I built it
I used react, and some very popular, mature and comprehensive react related and general javascript libraries that improved my development throughput substantially. It also helped make sure my code stays well designed and clean using best industry practices such as object oriented design, separation of concerns, and enforcement of DRY (don't repeat yourself).
Security wise, my implementation makes sure that no one can access any information stored about users and the oauth access tokens they granted to eazyform. I will share my implementation with the monday team privately.
Challenges I ran into
The main challenge was actually not coding related - I didn't find a video producer to help me with the demo video, so I taught myself how to use Camtasia and edited it myself, which was surprisingly easy and a lot of fun :-)
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
That I was able to create something that not only I and the organizations I support definitely need and will use but that has the potential of being used by almost any monday customer.
That I was able to create a pretty mature app in record time.
What I learned
A lot, mainly in the area of how to stay as agile and quick as possible with complete continuous delivery support. This includes:
How to build react and monday apps in record time.
The best libraries and bundlers to use for the job.
The best hosting providers to use for the job.
What's next for Eazyform
Eazyform will continue and evolve and bring in all the features that should be part of a modern, state of the art form builder, including:
Support all other "supportable" column types
Creating forms that update multiple boards, a popular use case that is very cumbersome to implement using zapier and the like. An example of that would be a form for a leads board that creates the contact and the company in the contacts and company boards, if they don't exist yet.
Support for conditional logic
Support for getting a url after filling the board that the user can use to update his/hers submission.
Support for emailing that url to the user after filling the board.
More styling options including the option to add custom css
Inline after submit messages instead of internal and external thank you pages.
Etc. etc. etc.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/retrospectives | Create multiple retrospectives for each Monday board
Create items individually, share with the team, group similar ideas and vote anonymously
Create Monday items to link action items to the resulting retrospective ideas
Inspiration
It’s missing on Monday.com a structured way to help agile teams create and manage agile retrospectives.
Since we have lots of experience with Agile methodologies and app development, we decided to move forward and bridge this gap with the Retrospectives app so it’ll help teams to reflect on their way of working, and to continuously become better in what they do.
What it does
It allows teams to create and run agile retrospective right inside Monday.com. Users can simultaneously collaborate, share and group ideas, vote and discuss as well as create action items on existing boards on Monday.com.
How we built it
We’ve built it with standard web development stack: HTML, Javascript, React, Node.js, Google Firebase - Firestore, Hosting and Cloud Functions.
Challenges we ran into
Learning Monday.com Apps framework SDK in a short timeframe.
Synchronizing information from different users and update on the screen in real-time for all retrospective participants.
Configuring the authorization flow between Monday.com and Firebase, validating and exchanging tokens
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the Retrospective app beautiful UI and UX seamlessly integrated with Monday.com
What we learned
We have learned to work with Google Firebase for the backend of the app.
What's next for Retrospectives
We plan to introduce custom retrospectives formats, timers for each stage, permissions, advanced settings, exporting options and voting restrictions

Inspiration
I have always loved solving problems, especially problems related to productivity. Before starting on this hackathon, I looked at the "Inspiration" board on Devpost and other external review sites like G2, Capterra, etc. to see the major problems that the users of Monday are facing. And I noticed that the chat feature in the board view is something a lot of people wanted. I realized this feature could have a significant positive impact on the productivity of 100% of the organizations on day 1. Hence, I went ahead with this problem.
What it does
Discussions app is a board view and a dashboard widget where members of the board/dashboard can chat, discuss & ideate about anything. Members of the board/dashboard can do the following:
Send messages on the board/dashboard.
Tag or mention any user in their message.
Add any emojis while typing their message.
React to the messages using emojis.
Reply to the messages in a separate thread.
React to thread messages using emojis.
Notifications go out to the users who have got tagged in the messages.
See “3 members are tying…” message in real-time if any of the members are typing in the same board view or dashboard widget at the same time.
How I built it
Vue.js is used to build the frontend. Express is used to build the backend, and
Twilio Chat
is used to create the flow of the discussion.
Tailwind.css is used for the app's design, and I have extended and added a few relevant classes to match Monday's design system.
Netlify is hosting the frontend and Heroku is hosting the backend.
Challenges I ran into
The significant challenge I ran into was while setting up the base with Twilio Chat. It took a lot of time to make sure all the APIs and data stored in done securely so that the app becomes scalable to multiple organizations. Another minor challenge that I ran into was that there were a few components for which the design system had no reference. I added the closest possible design based on the design system and the current Monday's product design.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm pleased that the design of the app looks very close to Monday.com, which will make it easier for users to adapt. And I'm proud of the impact that this app will have on Monday's users in the coming weeks/months, once the Discussions app is live on the marketplace.
What I learned
I learned about the OAuth flows, in general. Another great thing I got to know via this hackathon is the Monday product and the immense possibilities that it could have on its users by converting it into a platform. I’m really excited about that and looking forward to being a part of the marketplace ecosystem.
What's next for Discussions
The next steps are to make the app feature complete, stress test the app for scale, and apply for marketplace release.
Pending features -
Allow users to tag board items while typing a message.
Add unread message flow, so that users can see whatever they have missed out.
Allow users to go back and read ancient messages.
Then, stress test the app at scale. Apply to release on the marketplace.

Plan the sprint
Here’s how your sprint moves forward!
And here’s your sprint success story
Inspiration
As a team working in the Agile Scrum methodology we really missed the possibility to run sprints within the Monday app. We believe that Monday has a great potential to become more Scrum-friendly and offer tailored features supporting software development teams in managing their sprints. We also noticed that more and more people from product management, marketing, sales and other business teams also prefer working in sprints. That is why we decided to build the Sprint View App - an extension of Monday designed for the Scrum project management.
What it does
Sprint View App allows all Monday users to plan, organize, and execute sprints. It helps agile teams in getting a bird’s-eye view of the project and gives them more control over their work schedule. After a sprint is finished, the team can analyze how many tasks were completed in a given period of time. This allows them to adjust their future workload to the number of available story points and then prepare a better plan for the next project iterations.
Most important features:
adding a sprint
name
defining a sprint goal
choosing the time frame for every sprint
adding a start and end date of the sprint
counting down the days remaining
displaying
the number of items in a particular column when using the kanban view
showing avatars of all team members working on the project
estimating story points
analyzing a sprint summary with story points assigned to each team member
adding tasks from the backlog
previewing all the items
changing item priority by drag-and-dropping them within the sprint
How we built it
We’ve created a custom view containing all Sprint View App’s features as a separate workspace. We think it’s a great advantage because this way we’ll never need to interfere with Monday’s native settings. We’ve added three additional tabs under the main view: backlog, active sprint, and archive. We discovered a convenient way to map the item’s status to the right column.
Challenges we ran into
The greatest challenge was the correct mapping of the columns between the kanban view and Sprint App. We did our best to integrate it with Monday’s native configuration and, well, we nailed it!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Sprint View App is fully immersed in Monday, in terms of information architecture, app behavior and design. This way end users will perceive it as an integral part of Monday.
What we learned
We’ve found a new way of identifying unique elements. Dev guys will surely know what we mean by that :)
What's next for Sprint View App for Monday
We never stop developing new ideas and we just can’t wait to implement those:
showing the item’s details and managing them within the Sprint View App
an integrated roadmap
a voting system for the estimation of story points
tagging items with query expressions to easily filter them out

While
backlog grooming
, we always have this urge to fix typos or adding extra remarks to the text that our teammates are writing! This project was born as a result of that.
Also, during sprint planning, we faced other issues like:
Estimating: as working from home is becoming a norm, we needed an easy way of estimating the stories.
Time: teams usually go overtime while grooming a specific story, so we added a cool timer.
What it does
It's for your team, to collaborate
live
while creating or updating tasks with some mini-apps (widgets) to help you along the way!
We extracted the main sections that our team needed for backlog grooming and added a live aspect to it.
The story (item) title and updates are a collaborative text area. Teammates can type simultaneously, fix their typos, and highlight texts (think of it as a mini Google Docs).
We had so much extra time (bragging!) that we created two magnificent apps that we always use during grooming sessions.
Timer app ⏳
The timer keeps your story planning in check (time-wise), so your team won't go over time.

This app will help your team estimate tasks (think of it as planning poker, but you don't need to leave the

app!)
