Inspiration
Students ourselves, we were inspired by the daily grind to study and get through work, all while trying to remain focused in spite of the infinite distractions of the modern technological world. Here, we've used that very technology to help students focus better.
What it does
Our site displays a timer, counting down in scientifically efficient increments to help students budget their time. It also displays motivational quotes and plays calming music in the background to help create a good study zone.
How we built it
We built it in VS Code, using HTML, CSS, and Javascript
Challenges we ran into
We spent hours trying to figure out how to build our timer. It was a huge challenge to get it to display in a pleasing manner and to loop when done. One of our teammates literally went insane trying to implement this timer.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
In the end, we got a timer done, and while it could have been better, for a very new group of hackers with fairly little programming experience.
What we learned
We learned a lot of javascript today, especially for a group that knew barely knew anything beforehand. We also learned a lot of anger management and some important skills in working in groups.
What's next for THE STUDY ZONE
We hope to keep doing hackathons in our team to improve our coding ability. If we have any free time, we may also continue working on THE STUDY ZONE, trying to improve the timer and possibly implementing some more features.
