Gamified sustainability challenges for climatetech dorm life.
Climatetech students struggle to achieve personal sustainability goals because carbon footprint trackers fail to integrate with campus meal plans and dorm energy usage.
GreenDormGoals turns tracking into fun challenges using campus meal and dorm data for accurate scoring. Compete with peers, earn badges, and hit goals together. Builds habits through community motivation.
