Calling all hikers! Turn your hikes into eco-adventures with PickIt! It's a gamified app that tracks your trash collection, transforming cleanup into a friendly competition. Scan trash, earn points based on its environmental impact, climb the leaderboard, and win prizes! Let's work together to keep our trails beautiful and healthy.
We were inspired by fitness applications that motivate people through points and rewards. We saw an opportunity to apply this concept to environmental cleanup, empowering hikers to make a positive impact while enjoying the outdoors!
PickIt is a gamified hiking app that encourages eco-friendly behavior:
- Scan Trash: Find trash on hiking trails and use the app to scan it.
- Earn Points: Each scanned item contributes points based on its environmental impact.
- Compete and Win: Climb the leaderboard and compete with other hikers in your local community for the most points and prizes.
PickIt is built using the following technologies:
- Reflex: A powerful framework for building user interfaces.
- Gemini: This large language model helped us research the ecological impact of different types of trash to create an accurate scoring system.
- MongoDB: A flexible NoSQL database for storing user data, trash collection records, and leaderboard information.
- Python: A versatile programming language used for backend development and application logic.
