Take 3

Inspiration

Whenever I've been in my room studying, I would alway get distracted once I'm staring at the textbook trying to take in everything at once. The only times where I've actually gotten work done is when I disregard about the rest of the text and just hammer in the concepts that I'm working with and then move on.

What it does

You type in three concepts you would like to work on and then the app will randomly select one of the three and asks you about it with speech.

How we built it

Through React-Native. I Put in 6 input boxes where you put in the Vocab word or term and the definition and then it runs a random number generator and it selects one of them and you can hear the term and you can respond with the answer and check it for yourself. (Or vice versa by clicking the answer and finding the term.) You can do this repeatedly and then type in the next three words to work with

Challenges we ran into

I had to cut a lot of time as it was family weekend and also I had a Wind Symphony Concert so I came back with my idea at 4-5 o'clock. Also, I was working alone which meant I did not have that many people to brainstorm or split up the work with. Thus, I would have had to arrange my project so it would be finished within the time frame. Also, It had been awhile since I've programmed with React Native so I had to remind myself on some concepts and I ran into some problems regarding formatting. Most of the bugs that I ran into were a result of me forgetting a key concept from React Native

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud that I was able to work past some the problems and not give up because of the simplicity of the program, compared to everyone else who would have more time and people than me. I was still able to sit down and finish the project that I wanted in the set time frame.

What we learned

That programming in groups would make development move quicker, as more people would be able to be able to collaborate and work on separate things.

What's next for Take 3

Some things I would like to add is most likely a database so you could add more concepts which would be easier so you would only have to type in concepts once and then you could spend the rest of the time quizzing yourself. Also, there could be another class/screen created where it would show the three concepts (or I could make 5) laid out on cards where you could see all three, helping you visualize your terms. I could also go in another direction and turn it into a game where one friend types in a phrase, and once you enter the phrases, your friends will listen to the phrase and try and guess the topic. However, there would need to be more features that me or a group of people would need to brainstorm.
