Project SHIELD

Inspiration

Our inspiration was the recent riots on injustice for George Floyd. We thought that if there had been a live stream that was directly connected to the police, his death could have been evaded. The police department could have sent police officers to stop this tragedy from happening. Our app is meant to prevent social injustices from happening and educate students and adults alike in recent news.

What it does

This app allows ordinary citizens the chance to catch criminals much faster and to prevent framing. When the user streams a certain event or riot, the stream is immediately sent to the police department. This makes calling 911 unnecessary and may provide evidence for the persecution, or vice versa.

How we built it

We built the demo app using Figma.

Challenges we ran into

Our main challenge was the initial process to come up with an idea and the platform in which to build it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the way the app turned out because we didn't expect our app to have this kind of flow and design. This was the first time we had ever done a hackathon and we can only get better from here.

What we learned

Being apart of Jumpstart has really helped us learn concepts and it actually taught us some things along the way. One thing we learned was to use developing software called Figma. It helped us make a visual to the potential app. We also learned how to effectively communicate with others. Lastly, this weekend has helped us build relationships that will last.

What's next for Project SHIELD

We hope that Project SHIELD could be implemented into the daily lives of ordinary citizens. Also, we hope that we would have some government contracts so that this app can actually be of use to the police force.
