Inspiration
I found out that 1 out of 4 kids in the US grows up not knowing how to read, so I decided to make learning how to read, write, and ultimately make a book more accessible.
What it does
• Make a functioning ebook (all text is saved when switching pages) • read free ebooks • fully functioning lesson plans (made by me) • Provides free and accessible access to education • addresses a social issue -- undistributed education opportunities
How we built it
I used Qoom as my coding workspace. I used Javascript, CSS, and HTML.
Challenges we ran into
I had to learn a lot of new information like autosave and formating an engaging website. Making the lesson plans as effective as possible was also a challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I was able to make the user input saved between pages. I made a fully functioning lesson plan that is engaging. I even tested it on my elementary school sister, the targeted audience, and she made her very own book using my website.
What we learned
• I learned how ebooks are made code-wise • I learned how autosave works • keep younger audiences engaged • how to load pdfs on a website and how to make them automatically download on a computer • more experience making a website overall
What's next for Rainbow Reading
I want to spend more time on the UI part and add more lesson plans as well as making a larger library.
