Inspiration

We were inspired by the ESG initiative and the YEFA organization which are initiatives that use community networks, and impact investing models to positively impact climate change.

What it does

Our web application, SustainSphere is a social networking app for climate changemakers to connect with one. Professors, schools, nonprofits, eco startups, and students can create profiles with about pages and post opportunities for collaboration with images and text.

How we built it

We used CS50 codespace, GitHub, HTML, CSS, Python, Flask, and SQLite3.

Challenges we ran into

At first, we were going to use GitHub pages to host our web application, but they're static which wouldn't suit a social network. Another problem we faced was the struggle of managing a SQLite3 database.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of getting a lot further than we initially thought we would, and everyone serving their part in the development of the project.

What we learned

We learned how to properly incorporate CSS to make a more aesthetic product.

What's next for SustainSphere?

We are going to continue working on SustianSphere by adding personal messages, allowing for more types of posts, and making a more responsive user experience by further developing the UI.
