Welcome to the HackCambridge2021 wiki!

We're making a lockdown-friendly interactive web app that raises the public’s awareness of the environment through in-game rewards for identifying animals and plants and picking up trash!

Here we put lots of random ideas and links that have nowhere else to go yet.

A personalised walking routes plannar that lets the users discover local plant species.

Features:

1. enter postcode and planned walking time to get suggestions of locations with classifies animal/plant/landmark in pictures taken by users

random ideas: trash disables phototaking function/alert if 2 users are within 2m range at-home mode: interact with nature at home?? like google street view?

Reference: Species map https://nbnatlas.org/

Seek by WWF. User photographs different species, earns badges, levels up, and learns more about them in the process. Small challenges like finding 10 species in the park.
