AP STEM-ulator

A view into the beginning of our presentation ( logo, tagline, and name).

Inspiration

My partner and I have seen many students who take AP classes struggle with keeping up to date when they have an upcoming test. When a student is unable to have a system to keep track of their upcoming tests, this hinders their overall performance in school and eventually affects their grades. Thus, my partner and I wanted to devise a solution that would prevent this from happening for high school students taking AP classes.

What it does

This program displays the AP STEM class and its corresponding test date as well as the unit number of the test and the date of the test.

How we built it

To build this program, we utilized Python to code most of our program. In our Python code, we used lists to iterate through the various different AP STEM classes based on the user input about what class they would like the information from. In addition, we used HTML to display our program on a website platform.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge that we ran into was when we were working through the list, the various AP STEM classes were printed out multiple times instead of just once. To solve this issue, we had to print multiple lines of code for the code to output the classes once going through the list.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to quickly devise a plan to create our code as well as problem-solve when it comes to creating an HTML platform to display our code.

What we learned

One thing we learned was how to incorporate videos and links onto an HTML site. Another aspect we learned was

What's next for AP STEM-ulator

The next steps for AP STEM-ulator would be to possibly include more AP classes rather than just STEM classes. In addition, we could also include more dates that could look ahead a couple of months as well and this would be useful for teachers to plan tests ahead.
