About this Project:
The goal of our app is to limit the amount of invasive species in our environment, as they are the number once cause for the increase costs of fresh produce and the spread of many diseases. We will do this by creating an app that has a camera function, that will identify which invasive species they are, consecutively we are able to provide effective ways to eradicate them. If the infestation is too bad, we will provide services that you can call to get rid of them. We will also have a few service options where people can clean up parks from those weeds/insects, this would be completely optional.

Feedback from the Judges:
Fantastic work! Your market research and how your product is distinct were helpful context and quite compelling. Great work setting up the problem and showing the urgency—environmentally and financially. Attacking this problem from multiple angles was clever, and your app offers a robust solution to fix a local yet universal problem. I would love to see this app become a reality and incorporate more locations and species.
This can be very helpful to community members. It would be great if the home page opened with the map of the invasive species with the index being a following swipe or click.
