I created a website and an Alexa skill to help keep people happy at home by providing them with ideas on how to spend their time. It also provides the resources to get started with these productivity and entertainment activities.

The idea for this website came to me after we celebrated my little sister's birthday in quarantine and I thought maybe I could help others find ways to stay happy despite the pandemic.

In addition to a webpage that helps people get creative with their birthday during the quarantine, my website also has a webpage to help people stay productive at home by learning new skills and taking up new hobbies, as well as a webpage to help people stay in touch with their friends by playing online games with them.

To top it all off, I also created an Alexa Skill and published it to the Alexa Skills Store. It is called the Smart Activity Picker and it helps people decide on an activity to do if they are unsure about which activity to pick. Creating an Alexa skill is something I've never done before so I am very proud to have learned something new. The skill is live and available to the public so feel free to try it out on your Alexa Enabled Device by saying "Alexa, open Smart Activity Picker".

I used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the Alexa Skills Console to create this project.
