VOX Mobile App

App Title: VOX

Theme: Community Computational Action

Team Members: App is built by three young kids of Team Legogoa- Sai Pranav, Vedant and Viraj

Achievement: The app won the third place in youth category for Popular Choice award at the MIT Appathon 2021

App Description:

VOX – Voice to All

VOX (‘voice’ in Latin) is a hyperlocal app that provides a platform for citizens to voice their opinions and suggestions or their concerns about proposed projects in their community, so that the really people-friendly and transformative ideas get translated into reality and others get discarded. It is also a medium for citizens to participate in the development process by expressing their felt needs and new ideas.

WRO 2020-X, Open Category by Team Legogoa Coderex, Elementary level

The theme is CLIMATE SQUAD MISSIONS and the teams had to come up with ideas on

1. Manufacture locally to avoid transportation

2. Restoring nature’s ability to regulate the climate

Team Legogoa researched and found out that its home state #Goa in Country #India had its largest share of carbon emission arising from transport due to import of goods. Vegetables and fruits having the larger share.

The Team members Venkatesh Dempo, Vedant Abhyankar and Sai Pranav Gandhi have come up with in automated farming solution to help increase farming in Goa by providing automation running on renewable energy.The farming solution titled ‘Farm3r has multiple components run by an automated bot that is controlled remotely to carry out ploughing and harrowing.

Pocket Money Game

I built this game on SCRATCH. This is a simple game to play with Pocket Money to be deposited in piggy banks and learn Algebra.
The game helps understand the concept of solving Linear Algebraic equations.

  1. First screen explains the problem
  2. Second screen provides option to select the money to be deposited in the two piggy banks and solves the problem by listing all the values in a table.
  3. Third screen shows the equations for both the piggy banks.
  4. Fourth screen uses Coordinate Geometry to plot the graph as per the values of the table from screen two. The answer is in the intersection point of the Iggy values plot and Diggy values a plot
  5. The fifth screen provides a Linear Algebraic equation solver which enables user to input values as per ones choice to arrive values for X and Y.
