Inspiration

We got inspiration from many children not being able to attend a school or have difficulty reaching school. These children have to face many problems to participate in a source of education. So we asked the question, “How can these students concentrate on their studies when they have so many other distractions?” To solve this problem, we created a way for students to learn without having to travel to school. Children can stay in their homes and use our online, and also an offline resource - XTra Learn.

What it does

XTra Learn teaches children basic math operations and world capitals with python. You can learn about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in the math part of the project. You can also learn your world capitals in the geography part of the project. In the capitals section, anyone can add to the database of capitals by entering the country and its capital. We used pickle to accomplish this.

How we built it

The program was built using a combination of Repl.it, IDLE, and VSCode.

Challenges we ran into

We forgot that you have to use ‘global’ to use outside variables inside a function. We had to fix this to make the program work. We also forgot to call the primary function at the end. This error made absolutely nothing work, and it took us a minute or two to realize that we made that mistake.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of how we efficiently created this program by splitting up the work and combining it at the end.

What we learned

We learned more about Python, Repl.it, IDLE< and VSCode, all of the programs that were used.

What's next for XTra Learn

We hope to be able to add more features and more courses so you can learn even more from the program. Some of these include US State Capitals, advanced math, and even totally new subject like World History or Science.
