About this Project:
When our group found out about the lack of awareness of trees and pollution in the world.most people could not identify a maple tree or its leaves. we knew we had to fix it. That's why we created our app arbor snap.
When we first came up with the idea for our app, we put it on a storyboard. Eventually, we used our storyboard to help us make our figma. On figma, we made the idea from a sketch to a digital wireframe. After all of this, we transferred the wireframe to this slideshow. If our app would become a reality, it would primarily use the camera app to bring it to its full potential.
If we had more time, we would give the app a more sophisticated look and bring it to life. We hope our app would help kids get outside and bring more awareness to the environment.

Feedback from the Judges:
This is a great idea to get people to appreciate the trees around us. I especially like the live events section that can create a sense action, given that trees tend to not have a lot of updates. As a suggestion, have you considered making a more direction connection between trees and pollution? Maybe in planting more trees or other plants?
Team, congrats on creating this interesting idea. Your video did a very nice job of explaining the "big picture" of your app. I think there is something really fun about what you all are thinking about. An app that might get you out into nature, to learn about different trees, all being motivated by an underlying game is interesting. Like some of Nintendo's mobile apps, Pokemon Go or Pikmin Bloom, try to get people exercising and enjoying the outdoors motivated by the game mechanics. If you were to continue this idea, I would be interested in learning more about the game aspect of your app. What or who are these heroes? What is the gameplay around fighting pollution and how might that educate as well entertain? Again, thank you for sharing this with us all.

I love the idea of this app and the social impact! I love that it gets children outside and educates them at the same time! I would definitely download if it was real! Brilliant!
