About the Project

As part of HackNC 2019, I worked in a team to develop EcoLegend, an Android application.

The app presents the user with the goal of reducing the amount of CO2 produced as a result of their energy consumption. Users gain an idea of their impact through simple questions which put the emissions into perspective. A core part of the design which was our goal and makes the experience unique was to gamify adopting sustainable habits to increase user engagement.

We started off with Android Studio in order to develop our idea as an Android app. The first idea was to present users with a preliminary quiz which will calculate about how much CO2 they produce in a year. Though answering more questions and tracking activities in regular intervals, our app could help the user keep track of CO2 they produced and try to provide helpful advice to be more sustainable.

Everyone on the team went in with no experience in Android Studio at all, and we came out with a presentable deliverable. I was responsible for most of the Android development.
