  Next Page and Fun facts for clicking on image.

• 

  Output response for letter input.

Inspiration

I was inspired because I had a few low B's in my classes, I learned to reach out to my teacher and take my time on my work to do it to the best of my abilities. I also learned that many of my friends and classmates had the same issue. I wanted a way to share my ideas on how to raise your grade.

What it does

You enter your grade, and depending on that grade, the app will give you feedback on how to improve or keep your current grade. You can also set a timer for the appropriate break time.

How we built it

I built it by going into MIT App Inventor and adding 3 main blocks for the 2 functions. I added 2 blocks for all of the visuals and coded how the app will respond to you. Just with a simple code that tells the computer, if input "A, B, C, D, F", insert a different response based on what was input by the user. The timer was created by entering a when the button is clicked function, start a 300000 timer. 300000 is the number of milliseconds inside the period of 5 minutes. I also coded a section with a list to choose a random fun fact from a list of 5 facts every time you click on the picture of the book.

Challenges we ran into

I had an issue getting the function that gets the computer to output a response because I was trying to change the title given to the item instead of the actual words that the user can see. I also had a challenge setting the timer with the sound because the sound files I was finding would not produce any sound. Chat-GPT helped find the bugs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of fixing all of the errors in the code within 1 hour of testing because normally it is hard for me to fix, let alone find what is wrong.

What we learned

I learned that anyone can make almost anything with MIT App Inventor.

What's next for Homework Manager

I will add more functions, like a customizable timer and different ways to improve. I also plan to add a page to give resources like websites, based on what you need.
