Green Streets
Krystal-Tiffany-Jahlily pad-James
THE PROBLEM STATEMENT: People not knowing there communities wells so this mapwill help them find local hot spots
(places with wifi, bicycle places, trash cans that are solar powered, etc)
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: It is a 3D map of the south end area complete with buildings and streets.
There will be a grid of LED lights underneath the mapped area screenshot, they will light up where there is a location/ hotspot that is unknown to people.
It helps people know where locations and local hotspots are and so that they can be more aware of their surroundings.
TECHNOLOGIES AND MODULES:
Fab Lab: the design of the map
Arduino: the lights underneath the mapped area
Molding resin/ cans and bottles?: the buildings
