Some flexibility for remote work is available.
Project:
- The Society is looking at developing a new simple web app which users can input different litter statistics to generate different cartoon litter monster characters.
- Different litter categories will constitute different parts of the monster (e.g. plastic bags for the body, bottle caps for the hands etc)
- Different composition of litter collected will generate a different litter monster. E.g. With 5 plastic bags, 10 metal cans, 10 cigarette butts, it generates a certain monster, but by inputting 10 plastic bags, 10 metal cans, 20 cigarette butts, it will generate a different monster (e.g. different size, colour etc) based on these attributes.
- We are parking an initial three-month timeline to this project.
