About this Project:
We first came up with this idea after our fellow peers and personal struggles with Chemistry. Many students were unable to come to tutoring because of busy schedules, and many adults expressed interest in science despite not having the chance to take an education. Through this inspiration, we attempted to create the prototype of an app by designing pages, figuring out how the UI would look, and also how the app functions. It has since evolved from just a chemistry app to an app incorporating many sciences, in order to cater to as many people as possible.
Education is something that should be easily accessible and affordable. It shouldn't be something that hinders someone's daily activities, or makes someone feel as if it is a hassle.
“Chemmy” is a mobile app coded to work as the user interacts with it. Chemmy is able to be used on the go, wherever and whenever. The user can watch videos or even do a quick review session whenever they would like, providing an easy experience with learning. The user may click on different features such as “video help” or “lessons”, and the app will respond by pulling these features up. Ideally, the user is able to easily navigate through the app and these features will aid in helping the user retain information pertaining to science, or learn about it in general. They will also be able to quiz themselves and practice for tests such as regents or AP exams, allowing students to benefit from an easy-to-use app as well.

I believe STEM education is very important, and I'm glad you want to make it more accessible for everyone. Chemy's awesome! If this were a real app, I'd encourage you to include "techy" topics like coding and applied sciences like engineering. Personally, I learned a lot of things through YouTube by watching experts and professionals, so having a "curated" list of videos on a topic can help many people get the information they need can save tons of time searching (possibly even being distracted). Wanting to include real people and your design model shows you put a lot of thought into this project. Fantastic work everyone!

I like this idea! This would be very helpful for people studying for the regents as well. I like how you guys put that theres an explanation for incorrect answers

What an amazing idea! This app will help many of those who are in need of science help or cant access education as easily. I like it!

What a brilliant idea, having videos and saving lessons so you can continue them is amazing. It'll be a good way to do daily lessons and learn as much about certain courses as you'd like.
