Website for Recycling of School Uniform

The Project

In view of the frequent replacement of school uniforms at our school, we create a website for students and parents to prompt the recycling of school uniforms based on the survey from parents. Through our observation and survey, we find the rapid outgrowing of uniforms leading to a surplus of rarely worn uniforms at home. Surveying 59.1% of the school, we discovered a strong interest among 98.4% of the respondents will take part in the uniform recycling project. As a school uniform project team, we designed the UI of website and used Django to develop the website where all the recycled uniform are shown. Anyone interested can make a deal offline with the seller using our school currency which we can buy used books or use in the school flea market. We hope it not only solves the problem of recycling school uniforms for our students and parents, but also let the community realize the urgency of climate change and take actions for the Sustainable Development Goals to cut CO2 emission.

Team Comments

At our school, we have summer, winter, spring / autumn uniforms, including suits, sportswear, hoodies. We find the rapid outgrowing of uniforms leading to a surplus of rarely worn uniforms at home. According to the survey, we discover most parents and students are willing to recycle their uniforms.

The biggest challenge we face is how to make a dynamic website rather than a static one, which we have to update the code every time if we add or delete the information about school uniforms. So we tried to learn Django online and solve the bugs to make the website work step by step.

At the beginning, we hope our website functions like an online shopping one. If more time given, we hope we can have a better understanding about database and Django and try to make our website more attractive and let the users make deals online.
