Accessible education tools enhance learning. A Python-based quiz app can engage students in core subjects, supporting SDG 4’s goal of quality education.
Log File (Step-by-Step Project Guide)
- Research educational needs : Contact a local school (with a teacher’s help) to learn about learning gaps. List 10–15 quiz features (e.g., math questions).
- Set up Python : Install Python and VS Code (free). Follow a Tkinter tutorial .
- Design the app : Plan a quiz app for subjects like math or science (e.g., “Dallas Quiz Master”). Sketch the interface with questions and score tracking.
- Code the app : Use Tkinter for the GUI and Python’s pandas for question storage. Test with sample quizzes.
- Test with users : Share with classmates or a school. Ask if it’s engaging and effective. Fix issues like unclear questions.
- Share with the community : Distribute to a school via Google Drive . Include a user guide.
Volunteer/Service Opportunity
