Gamified carbon logging with class challenges and uni meal/dorm leaderboards.
Climatetech students cannot accurately log their carbon footprints because most trackers lack integration with university meal plans and dorm energy data.
GreenClassLog turns footprint tracking into class competitions by integrating shared uni meal and dorm data for group accuracy. Students join course cohorts for leaderboards, badges, and collective goals. It auto-generates team reports to boost participation in climatetech programs.
