Covid-19 for Children

Inspiration

What inspired me to build this website was the idea of informing elementary schoolers and young ones whose idea of today's situation may not be so clear. I wished that they could also know about our world and what is happening. I wanted to give everyone clarity, and we need to start with the youth as it is definitely going to be a big part of history that they take down with them.

What it does

This website has interactive gifs, images, and articles that help inform the youth all about coronavirus. From what coronavirus is to activities we can do in quarantine, this website acts as an al around guide for young ones to learn, discover, and have fun while still informing themselves and giving themselves clarity about coronavirus!

How I built it

I built the individual pages using Sublime Text Editor, then I re-uploaded the individual pages into corresponding folders and built it into a multi-page website on Atom. On Atom, I also made the style sheet using css. The rest of the website is made with html. I made my own gifs using procreate and I uploaded them to atom as images and used them in my website.

Challenges I ran into

Being a amateur coder (with only a month of experience under my belt) and this being my very first hackathon, I wasn't really sure where to start, and a lot of the elements that I wanted on my website- I didn't even know how to do! I am really glad that I reached out for help though, and tried my best to accomplish what I could with several newly aquired skill from the last 24 hours.
