Hackathon project 🏠 from NWhacks2019
Vancouver is prone to a number of natural disasters, such as Wildfires, Earthquakes and Hailstorms. We wanted to build an alexa skill that allows families around the world to quiz themselves on safety procedures on a daily basis.
UBCcure is an Alexa skill, a "Safety Trivia" that allows users to interact with Alexa, answering questions randomized from a collection of different questions safety and gain points upon getting the right answer.
We built UBCcure with javascript, on Amazon's very own _ AWS _developer console and _ Lambda _. We implemented Alexa Skills Kit SDK for Node.js. We have tested on Amazon's Echo 2.
Fixing unexpected errors that arose in the middle of the night.
Learning how to use and integrate AWS and Lambda in one day. It was our first Hackathon for most of us, and we had a lot of fun working with new technology.
We learned that we can do anything, especially when we put our minds into it. Nothing is impossible!!!
We are planning on making the code open-source with detailed instructions so that anyone around the world can easily access the code and make changes that best fit their needs.
