The chosen challenge is to create an effective and innovative measure to combat social isolation and propose interactions in a safe way. For this, we will create a platform that brings people together and, through group interactions, creates bonds that alleviate the lonely phase we are in.
Inspiration:
The main inspiration was the hackathon itself, we realized how well this event did us and provided us with social interactions (something we were lacking), and even in a short space of time it impacted us significantly. And then the idea arose to transmit this feeling and experience to other people in this very terrible moment in our history. :):
Approach:
Our team addressed the issue of solving social isolation in such a way that the inability to have social interactions becomes the combat target of our product. Thus, we arrived at a solution that creates new bonds and eases the population's anxiety.
Dice:
Our team used NASA data to validate the pain that we propose to solve, in order to identify real numbers that show the impact of our problem.
Technologies and tools:
The technologies used by the team were React for the front-end and Java for the back-end. Some tools used were Adobe XD, Canva, Trello, MindMeister, Git.

Problems and achievements:
We had problems validating the idea because it took us a while to notice that people didn't really need the first solution we created. Therefore, it was necessary to pivot and reformulate: thus, we left data prediction for the community platform.
