Mastery Quest: The Summer Olympics, Software Engineering

Overview:

As the world gears up for the excitement and spirit of the Summer Olympics, we invite you to participate in this Mastery Quest! Your challenge is to create something that captures the essence and energy of the Summer Olympics. The goal is to practice our coding skills as a community, so even a simple website that shows something fun or leverages a new-to-you technology is worth sharing! We encourage you to share how you created it and share links to any related code or resources so others can learn and find inspiration from you. 

Whether it's an interactive game, an informative page, or a creative visualization, even a simple web app that leverages a new-to-you technology is worth sharing!

Guidelines:

• Theme: Your project should clearly reflect the Summer Olympics theme.
• Technology: You are free to use any web technologies or programming languages you are comfortable with, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Java, or any frameworks you prefer.
• Creativity: Think outside the box! Your project can be a fun trivia quiz, an interactive map of Olympic venues, a countdown timer, a medal tally tracker, a simple simulation, or anything else that showcases the Olympic spirit.

Important Dates

• Open for submission July 15, 2024
• Entries close July 26, 2024
• Winners announced August 1, 2024
