Application's context

Project done in the context of the course "Agile Methods" of the M1 IM/MIAGE of the University of Haute-Alsace. The goal was to develop a working mobile application for calculating the carbon footprint of a user. The application was developped in one sprint of 2 weeks including stages of design, development and tests through an agile development cycle.
