This project was completed in the summer of 2022 during the Microsoft Mentorship Program
ScanCan is a recycling application paired with a 3D-printed prototype, designed to make recycling easier and more engaging. The app uses QR code scanning to identify plastic and tin drink bottles and rewards users for recycling.
Power Apps: Built the main application interface, enabling rapid app development without extensive frontend coding.
Power BI: Connected to Power Apps to provide data.
React & Django (limited use): Used for backend logic and custom components not natively supported by Power Apps.
3D Printing: Created a physical trash can prototype to demonstrate practical integration of the software with real-world recycling stations.
QR Code Scanning: Identify drink bottles as recyclable materials.
Reward System: Incentivizes proper recycling.
3D-Printed Prototype: Demonstrates how the software can integrate with physical trash cans.
