Awesome_E A website for my high school sophomore year project to teach coding to underserved children.
In 2020, I started the GameChanger Project with two of my close high school friends. We aimed to bring computer science opportunities to underserved areas by providing the resources they needed to create their first video game. Using video games to explain concepts, we made it accessible for students to pick up problem solving, creative thinking, and common programming skills.
In addition to providing information about us on our website, we highlighted the different courses that we offered and showcased games made by our students. These include racing, tag, and other games that we’ve seen them create through guided in-person curriculum or self-paced online curriculum.
A page showcasing the different games our students made
The website was built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the front end. For student projects, we also wanted pages to populate with metadata on the project. Since it was hosted on an Apache web server, I used PHP to fetch data from a spreadsheet and return it in the page response.
Note: Because the project website is currently hosted on a static hosting site, student project pages do not work.
