Challenge Choice: Hui Manu o Ku - HI Birds game

I will make a game similar to Pokemon Go. It will use the player's location to find the birds seen in the area. I will use augmented reality to make this experience more lively and interactive. The player could also see more information about the bird. Information like its diet, special features, and its conservation status.

Challenge Choice: ETS - Citizen Portal on Open Data

We plan to build our application off of NodeJS, Flask, and Firebase. Flask will be the most important component of our solution, as we will use it to visualize the datasets. We also plan to feed given datasets into an AI agent to create a chatbot for users to ask questions to.

Challenge Choice: HBDEO - Digital Equity Dashboard

I will tackle Digital Equity Dashboard by trying out and checking all the resources provided first from challenge advisors to get a better understanding of what they want. After that, I define the problem their solving, and try to get a better grasp on the sort of approach they are willing to do for this problem. I then will research more about the solution and might ask questions to the advisors in slack. Then I imagine and plan what I'm gonna use to make the dashboard. Fleshing it all out and making multiple improvements. I'll then test it and revise if there's any issues.

We plan to create a web application using Javascript and NextJS React framework for the frontend, and a Nodejs/Express backend containing logic to receive signals from an Arduino system in real time via websockett. The frontend will contain data visualization (bar / meter) from online estimates (ie HECO data) that increments proportionately when the appliances are turned on.
