Wilbur Bookworm
Inspiration
Make learning and reading fun and enjoyable!!
What it does
Test children's knowledge of Wilbur, his friends, and details from his favorite books. If a child is familiar with Wilbur and has read his favorite books, then he or she will be rewarded for the knowledge with victory in this trivia game. If a child is not familiar with Wilbur and/or has not read his favorite books, then he or she will be inspired to read and learn to achieve victory.
How I built it
Amazon template for trivia game. Available here: https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/post/TxDJWS16KUPVKO/new-alexa-skills-kit-template-build-a-trivia-skill-in-under-an-hour.
Challenges I ran into
AWS is unable to run the code because of "Unexpected token function" error.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We successfully created an Amazon skill for integration with AWS. We extensively researched the questions to reward and inspire reading. We successfully problem solved several errors that AWS threw to us.
What I learned
We learned to build off of pre-existing knowledge, work in shifts throughout the night so as to take care of ourselves, invest time into a project with meaning and depth. We learned to create an Amazon skill and gained familiarity working with AWS Lambda.
What's next for Wilbur Bookworm Trivia --- AWS Lambda
The next step for Wilbur Trivia is to fix our few but complex remaining errors. Then, after publishing the Wilbur Bookworm Trivia skill, any child with access to Alexa may interact with this trivia game.
