 +We are DAMP+J, a team formed during the hackathon to explore how IoT can be used to influence individual behavior for sustainability and well-being. Our group brings together complementary skills in embedded systems, software engineering, UX design, and environmental awareness.
  
 +Our approach prioritizes simplicity, functionality, and measurable impact. Rather than building complex systems for their own sake, we focused on applying accessible technologies to address everyday habits that have long-term environmental consequences.
 +
 +Our final project, FRoast, reflects this mindset—a behavior-aware smart fridge prototype designed to promote conscious food habits, reduce waste, and make sustainability both personal and actionable.
