Sydney Mantell's Final COMP110 Project

Project Explanation

My project was a simple quiz for incoming 9th grade students. I am teaching with a summer program called Breakthrough Collaborative this summer, so I wanted to create a tool that I could use in my classroom. There are five questions in this quiz, so there is an opportunity for students to gain 500 points if they are truly a biology *star*.

There are several functionalities of my program, which will be explained in the Quiz Walkthrough section.

Team Members

Just me, myself and I (Sydney Mantell).

But also, shoutout to Jay who helped me out a lot during the Hackathon and then later at Office Hours. He is a true UTbae.
