Learning Journey
Learning Journey
Our team learned how to turn an idea into a real solution through collaboration and problem-solving. We faced technical challenges while developing the app prototype and organizing its features, but we overcame them through research, testing, and exchanging ideas. We also improved our communication and teamwork. This journey taught us the importance of empathy, as we focused on helping people facing food insecurity, and responsibility in creating a project with a positive impact on the community.
Information Legitimacy Description
To ensure the reliability of the information, we used trustworthy sources such as official reports, news websites, and articles about food waste and hunger. We compared data from different sources and verified dates and authors to confirm accuracy. We avoided unreliable websites and prioritized recognized organizations. This process strengthened our critical thinking and ensured that the information used in the project was accurate, relevant, and reliable.
