We are Team WakeUp, a dedicated duo driven by the goal of raising awareness about climate change through the power of technology and data. Our name, "WakeUp," reflects our mission to awaken people to the urgent realities of Earth's climate crisis. By combining artificial intelligence and data science, we create engaging, data-driven narratives that simplify complex climate issues for everyone.

Our website features an AI chatbot designed to break down intricate climate topics and data into easy-to-understand concepts. Using open-source data from sources like the US Greenhouse Gas Center, we transform critical climate insights into dynamic story timelines. These timelines answer key questions: What has happened? What can we do collectively? And what actions can individuals take?

Through this approach, supported by visuals, videos, and interactive elements, we empower users to make informed, sustainable decisions, helping reduce their carbon footprint while fostering climate awareness.

Project Detail:
- Climate Aware breaks down big climate data provided by NASA and the US Greenhouse Gas Center into interactive and simple storylines with actionable steps for groups and individuals.

- There are sample queries/stories on the homepage that a user can view and interact with. Also, the user can make use of the chat feature to get more information that is not displayed on the sample stories, very much like an AI chatbot.

- Climate Aware benefits users by helping them understand climate data which they naturally would not have been able to understand without engaging the services of an expert.

We hope that Climate Aware, by providing actionable steps, motivates users to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint, minimize waste, and provide support for sustainable practices so that our air, oceans, and land can be healthy.

We used Figma as our primary design tool, for both the UI/UX design and presentation/slides design. We made use of HTML and CSS for the website design and development, vanilla Javascript for integration to the backend and API calls, and Python for data analysis and AI/ML.

Hardware tools ranged from a Macintosh OS to a Windows OS.

Other tools include GitHub repository for code collaboration, Telegram, and WhatsApp for effective team communication.
