SUMMARY
In the Summer of 2020, I took part in the Google Software Product Sprint (SPS) — an invite-only and 11-week virtual program where participants design and build open-source software using the Google Cloud Platform, and collaborate in team projects using Git and GitHub. KidKode is a web app that I worked on with my SPS teammates during the 4-week team project portion of the sprint.

KidKode is a computer science career exploration webapp that helps children & preteens find their passion in CS in a fun and engaging way. Users are given a quiz that matches them to a CS field based on their interests and hobbies in hopes of finding them a CS career that they will love.

My tasks included building features on the front-end & back-end of the web app, setting the creative direction of the product’s design, creating high-fidelity UI/UX prototypes and taking the role as project manager before demo week.
