Inspiration

There was always an awareness over the topic of child marriages, and that there are yet to be any ways to fully eliminate child marriages. Along with that, some of us watched a film about a child going through her child marriage, and noticing the lack of action over this issue, we were inspired to create a website directly dealing with child marriage.

What it does

In this website, FCM provides a learning opportunity for individuals to learn about modern day news involving child marriages. Not only that, but our website also offers a volunteer interest form that will connect interested individuals with our cause. Finally, our website has a 'Contact for Help' form, used mainly to reach out to victims of child marriages. Through this form, we link the victims and offer counselors/mentors (who are our volunteers) to provide emotional support while also helping them get independence.

How we built it

Using Repl.it, we were able to share all our work together to create our website. We used mainly HTML, CSS, and Javascript for the coding, and we also looked to Github/other sources for use.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered issues with making our buttons responsive and leading to the next page. Also, we had problems with formatting, especially when connecting our CSS with all of our team members.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud of our time management skills, and how we managed to make the time we worked together effective. In addition, we are glad we were able to overcome our previous obstacles to create the best website we could in the time we had.

What we learned

Through this project, we learned more about CSS, HTML, and Javascript. From the beginning, we were mainly beginners, but by the end of the hack-a-thon, we were much more experienced over our prior knowledge.
