Trash Tales

Inspiration

I wanted to make recycling fun for kids, so I created "Trash Tales." The idea was to turn sorting trash into a a fun app.

What it does

"Trash Tales" is an app where kids learn to sort trash into the right bins. Each time they do it right, they develop a sense of what waste goes where.

How we built it

I built the app with a simple UI and easy-to-understand colour bins. I used pictures of common trash items to teach kids where they should go.

Challenges we ran into

The hardest part was making the game fun and educational at the same time. I also had to make sure the recycling info was correct and fit what was taught in schools.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm really proud that kids would find it fun!

What we learned

I learned a lot about recycling and how to design simple apps for kids.

What's next for Trash Tales

I want to add more items to the app and use better models for object recognition. I'm also thinking about using AR to make the game even cooler, like having kids sort real trash with the app.
