Inspiration

We wanted to create a platform that could allow kids to learn about the pandemic while having fun. Knowing that it is important that both kids and adults are educated, we decided to create a fun, interactive way to teach kids. We wanted to teach kids how they can keep themselves safe. Also, we wanted a website that could connect kids together even during quarantine.

What it does

It teaches kids about COVID-19, how to stay safe, and about the social distancing rules. Our website also allows them to play a game while teaching them about the virus and how it can affect them. Along with a game, it includes a calculator and regulation finder that can help people find out what is safe, and what the rules are.The calculator can help people realize what is a safe area and what is recommended. The regulation finder provides ten cities' regulations.

How we built it

We used html and css to build the front end of our website. Then we used block code to create the game. Finally we used Java to create the calculator and the regulations finder.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges that we ran into was embedding the videos and inserting the game link into our website. Also, we sometimes had formatting issues that required us to learn new CSS/HTML code to solve.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is our first time using html,css, and java together. Also, this is both of our first hackathon and project. We managed to create a multipage website.

What we learned

Sometimes you may run into errors, but keep trying and you will find the problem and learn from your mistakes next time. Don't procrastinate and work well with your team.

What's next for Kids Konnected COVID 19

We hope to add more resources, games, interactive elements such as more cities in our regulations finder. Additionally, we also hope to expand our website to include more educational tools for kids to learn about COVID. Finally, we plan to create a way for kids to discuss important topics about COVID that they might have questions about and get answers in a safe and kid-friendly format.
