Global Nominee

Savanna

High-Level Project Summary

As a group, we designed a minimalistic weather app for the You Are My Sunshine challenge. What we developed is a cross platform mobile weather app for Android and iOS with an intuitive user interface. It allows the user to view local temperature, wind speed, humidity, monthly average sunshine, monthly average cloud percentage without a cluttered and hard to navigate user interface, like a lot of more complex applications seem to do. Umut wrote the application's code.Hayrettin Murat KARACA helped design the app and wrote the articles and made the video.Almira ARSLAN helped design the application and assisted in the video.Emirhan AZİZ helped with the video and gave ideas to our team.

Detailed Project Description

Savannah


Savannah is a minimalistic but powerful weather app for the You Are My Sunshine challenge. It fetches weather data from OpenWeatherMap and NASA's POWER and displays the data in an intuitive way. Sadly, the air quality and monthly average cloud percentage cards are only mockups as we couldn't complete them in the limited time we had. We hope to expand the app post-hackathon and turn it to a full time product.


You can find our detailed video presentation here.


We used:

  • Javascript as our programming language of choice.
  • React Native & Expo as our application framework.
  • NASA's POWER database as a source of data.
  • OpenWeatherMap as a source of momentary weather data.
  • Google Maps for location services.
  • Camtasia as our video editor of choice.
  • Inkscape as our vector graphics editor of choice.
  • react-native-svg-charts for rendering charts.
  • Hotel?.. Trivago.

Space Agency Data

We used NASA's POWER database to retrieve monthly average sunshine and monthly average cloud percentage data.

Hackathon Journey

We were informed about the NASA Space Apps Challenge hackathon about 2 weeks ago through our teacher Cem Yurtlak. As Maya Antalya Science and Technology 9th grade students, we believe that we had a very productive hackathon. We had several setbacks, such as learning that POWER couldn't give us momentary data, but we resolved all of them. We would like to thank our local lead Selman Canlı for his feedback.

Global Judging

This project has been submitted for consideration during the Judging process.

You Are My Sunshine

NASA produces a variety of surface solar and meteorological data parameters that are useful to commercial renewable energy and sustainable building ventures, but this information is not easily accessible to the typical homeowner. Your challenge is to develop a mobile application to access the information on NASA’s Prediction of Worldwide renewable Energy Resources (POWER) web services portal and provide useful information about sunshine to the general public.
