The Quiz of Health

Inspiration

As time went on, it occurred to us that not many people live healthily. More and more of the population is increasingly dealing with health issues, ranging from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity, etc. This also means more and more people have never experienced what it feels like to live healthily as their default settings involve living with health issues and so we wanted to create something that encourages and spreads knowledge to people about healthy living and actionable steps they can take to improve their quality of lives.

What it does

This is an online quiz which participants can take, where if they get a question correct, the system lets them know they got the correct answer and hypes them up. If the answer is wrong, then it encourages them to not give up and keep learning, gives them hints and directs them to resources relating to the question where they can learn further.

How we built it

To create this program, we coded this on Visual Studio Code using HTML and CSS. We formulated questions through brainstorming together. Learning HTML and CSS had seen us watching youtube videos and then practising it out of Visual Studio Code.

Challenges we ran into

The challenge of finding a topic to work on during the start of the hackathon
The challenge of determining how we should carry out this quiz, whether it should be more like a traditional quiz or something like a Kahoot, or a stud tool, etc
Challenge of time management since we could not stay overnight and only had the daytime to work on this project
We had to learn how to code in HTML and CSS from scratch, so there was a big learning curve at first, which we got used to over time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a program on HTML from scratch, just learning it within a day
This is most of our first time in a hackathon so this experience was something which taught us a lot about coding and time management

What we learned

How HTML and CSS functions
Importance of effective time management and communication
How hackathons work

What's next for The Quiz of Health

We will be focusing on expanding the quiz to cover more topics and also creating a study guide so people are aware of what they should know, to complete the quiz.
