Dec 2021 – Apr 2022 • High School Final Project
English Trivia
English Trivia is the project I talk about in my story. It was my final high school project and my very first website, built completely from scratch on Replit with no AI assistance and no tutorials guiding me line by line.
The goal was to gamify my Grade 12 English lessons for my professor, turning topics from the curriculum into interactive quizzes that made learning more engaging for students. Teachers could select a category and difficulty level and display questions for the class to answer together.
I built the entire thing from scratch using Django on the backend with JavaScript, Bootstrap, HTML, and CSS on the frontend. Every single line of code was written by hand. It was a full-stack application, login, session handling, quiz logic, score tracking, and all, built by someone who had only ever written Python before and had never touched web development.
It placed in the top three of my class and a year later I was invited back to the school to mentor younger students on web development using the same stack.
