PROJECT SUMMARY
We created a timer app that would play a sound and a visual when the designated time the user has inputted is up. We had to think of 3 different types of code for this project; the visual code, the timer code, and the sound code, with a separate function for each.
WHY?
We made this project as a submission for AP computer science. We were tasked with making an app with at least one list, function and parameter for loop for each member in the team.. E
HOW?
We split up into three and looked for the sound effects, the images and thought of ideas for the code. We made a google doc to put all our sources and wrote our code on code.org.
WHAT?
By the end, our code was succesful. I learned what a parameter is, how to think more critically about coding and how to code in groups.
SO WHAT?
These results are important because it was a nice way to finish off the year. I proved to myself that I could, in fact, code, because I felt apprehensive of it at first.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Our project could be improved by actually displaying the amount of time elapsed and the time remaining. Visually it could also be more elaborate and look more aesthetic.

Citations for the images and sounds are listed in the code.
JUDGES FEEDBACK
Great chance to get involved not only in coding but also in thinking ways to use a set of functions for a specific purpose. The layout of the app is quite practical. Bear in mind when making a project the idea of suitainability in terms of time, how would it chage over the generations and/or how artificial intelligence can be applied to it.
