Inspiration
We drew inspirations from websites such as Kahoot, Quizlet, and Gimkit but also wanted to introduce some elements from Iready.
What it does
Similar to Kahoot, Quizlet, and Gimkit we designed a educational game in which you have to answer questions that appear on the screen, and you have a time limit in order to answer it. But we added an element, similar to Iready which is used for standardized testing in schools in Massachusetts, where questions get adaptively more and more difficult as you answer correctly.
How we built it
We created a website using html that is intended to allow students to choose what study set they would like. We also created a rough demonstration of what the game would be like using python.
Challenges we ran into
So this was our first hackathon, so a big challenge came from the time crunch and presentations aspect of our solution. On top of this, none of us were too familar with creating websites with html so that was a learning experience. Lastly we ran into some bugs with the demo of the game that we weren't able to iron out within the time limit.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we were able to submit prototypes of our design. Not to mention what we have learned along the way
What we learned
The challenges that come with creating a project on a deadline have pushed us to focus our time management skills. We learned more about hackathons and the opportunities provided, and we are also excited to compete in more hackathons in the future
What's next for EduForward
We would like to finalize our initial demo and make the website run more cohesively. We would like to be able to run the website publicly in order to allow students across the country to use our website. Add different subjects for questions. Allow users to create their own study sets.
