The challenge

All challanges of the #ImpactHackathon

  1. FoodWaste challenge hosted by Schwarz Group: How could food waste be reduced among consumers and retailers without endangering the prosperity of both parties?
  2. CampusLife challenge hosted by Fraunhofer IAO: How can data support finding the perfect residential neighborhood to live in?
  3. FutureEducation Challenge hosted by Campus Founders: How can a combination of online and offline formats ensure equal opportunities in education?

Our team has chosen:

#CampusLife challenge hosted by Fraunhofer IAO: How can data support finding the perfect residential neighborhood to live in?

Our idea

  • Some brainstorming (German)
  • Final idea - which we dealt with at the hackathon:
    • creating an appartment search platform with the usage concept of modern dating platforms (swipe left and right)
    • but added the concept of two types of filter options:
      • infrastructure filter options with indication of importance (1-5) e.g. a fitness studio is very important to the user and he assigns 5 points in the filter options
      • social filter options like hobbies, where it would be great if the future roommates have them
    • the perfect offers are determined based on the filter parameters of the users
    • and the name is "finder"

finder

=> and "finder" has won the 2nd place in the #CampusLife challenge 💥

Architecture

  • Frontend: Angular + Angular Material
  • Backend: Ruby + Cockroach DB
