Apply / Create — Helpful Tool Project
Build a small Python tool (e.g. revision timer, quiz) with tests, plus an accessible web page explaining it and its privacy choices.
Evidence type: code · accessible alternative always allowed (speak it, draw it, or show an adult).
How it is judged (rubric)
- Beginning: Runs
- Developing: Uses functions and lists
- Secure: Tested, functional, accessible page, privacy explained
- Extending: Elegant refactor; user testing evidence
