Alive

Inspiration

After discussing potential ideas for a project, we found that we are all passionate about sustainability, and decided to make information about it more accessible through a website.

What it does

This site helps guide people to a more sustainable life.

How we built it

We used HTML and CSS to build our project. We began by creating the major blocks of the website, choosing colors, then started adding information and creating blocks. We also used MapHub as a convenient way to show locations in our area

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we had in creating our project was that two of our teammates had to learn how to code HTML and CSS from scratch, because it was not a language they were familiar with. Our group also had never worked together before this event, so it was also hard to figure out how each of our individual skills would fit together.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of what we've been able to do with our varied skills in code and having never met eachother. Working on debugging and finding ways to make our dream a reality.

What we learned

We all learned new languages or new ways to use said languages to increase aesthetic and/or functionality of our site. Additionally, link made it very convenient for us to collaborate real-time. We worked in a group very effectively, which allowed us to end up actually having the draft of the website we envisioned.

What's next for Alive

Finish what we didn't have time to do in our one-day time crunch. Polish site and possibly find better outside resources to make our site more efficient, like a more detailed map that can also take into account ur current location.
