Despite environmental awareness, a gap remains between shoppers' intentions & actions in green shopping.

One key challenge in this hackathon project was managing time constraints, which prevented the development of an eco-activity tracking feature that could have further enhanced user engagement and provided meaningful insights into environmental impact. From this experience, I learned the importance of improving team efficiency through clearly defined roles, including those of project managers, creating detailed timelines, assigning a minute-taker for meetings, and documenting plans, progress, and feedback in written formats to foster better collaboration and accountability. Additionally, I realized that an over-emphasis on implementation led to insufficient focus on the slide presentation, highlighting the need for a better balance between the two aspects. Moving forward, I plan to integrate these lessons to streamline workflows, enhance team collaboration, and deliver well-rounded outputs that address both functionality and presentation in future projects.
