PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

1 1 / 8 / 1 1


WITH JUST A SINGLE CLICK ….

YOU CAN HELP THEM.

1 1 / 8 / 1 1


• The FullTummy website works in cooperation with food supply companies worldwide to donate non-perishable food items to people stricken by hunger. The companies will donate one meal for ever 5 correct responses to questions in various subjects. The user selects a category of their choosing, and may reattempt questions answered incorrectly. The game is continuous, and may be exited at any time.

• The website quizzes the knowledge of the user, creating a fun, educational game which ultimately results in the feeding of hungry people.

• The site is free to users.

HOW THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED

1 1 / 8 / 1 1


• The website has a left-side navigation bar, which allows users to click links to quiz categories of their choice (such as English vocabulary, arithmetic, and algebra).

• The quiz questions appear to the right of the navigation bar.

• The number of meals donated thus far is displayed in a bar at the bottom of the page.

I felt like this is an easy, fun way to help people in need.

This is a good cause, and people enjoy using freerice to help.

When I saw the U.N.’s Millennium Goals, World Hunger jumped out at me immediately. This combined with poverty

(as it is on the U.N. site) struck me, as I see it on a daily bases back home in Northern New Hampshire.

Many neighbors and friends back home have shown me how horrible this problem is, and that helped me

DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

1 1 / 8 / 1 1




I created this in the study room of my dorm.

I first created the FullTummy page, using HTML coding.

There were a few converting problems, but they were soon resolved.

The coding process was the most difficult and time-consuming.

Otherwise, this was fairly easy and fun to create.

SAMPLE

www.freerice.com

This website was created by the United Nations!

I did not know this until after I created the webpage… but my inspiration for my idea and the goals that drove me

there were from the same people!

Great minds think alike!

INSPIRATION

My website will help users donate to a good cause while having a good time, at not personal cost. Not only will they get to enjoy a challenging, educational gaming experience, but they will also be feeding those in need. This will make the good feeling experienced after answering a question correctly exponentially greater, as they are doing several

good things at once.

This is a site that users of all ages can and should use.

It is based on the website www.freerice.com .
