Re-verse

Inspiration

Why must recycling be boring? How can we make sure that recycling activity will be self-sustained for a long time? These are the questions we wanted to tackle.

What it does

Re-verse creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where everyone becomes invested in recycling and helping environmental projects - because now they have credits that are tied to them.

How we built it

The frontend is mainly from figma and we used torch for the computer vision component.

Challenges we ran into

We decided to challenge ourselves and use techstack that we are less familiar with for this 24 hour hackathon. We faced difficulties in trying to learn the new tech stack and integrating the frontend, backend and machine learning model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We love our idea and how we managed to pull it off despite the fact that a couple of us had urgent matters so we only had a short while for development!

What we learned

It was an eye-opening experience having to work under time constraints and with tech-stack we are not as familiar with. We learnt how to work as a team and practice effective communication. In terms of technical skills, we learnt to use React Native, different machine learning libraries and how to integrate machine learning model into our webapp.
