RightOn! is a web-based platform that transforms how students think and feel about math, helping them see mistakes as learning opportunities. We do so by using AI to destigmatize errors, spark discussions about shared misconceptions, and bolster social-emotional and cognitive growth.
Mission: Maybe you too know kids (or even adults) who'll say things like, "I'm not a math person." or "I just can't do math." Our mission is to unlock STEM potential in all students: fostering a positive classroom culture of error, building self-efficacy, and deepening conceptual understanding -- helping students overcome hurdles in both school & life, whether they'd like to build apps, go to Mars, or become the next Beyonce! Math is something that everyone can do and can help everyone.
While many apps prioritize speed, RightOn! shifts focus from quick recall to metacognition: understanding not only why right answers are right, but also why wrong answers are wrong, in turn helping students take their learning to the next level.
Vision: In the future, we envision RightOn! to become a multimedia learning platform that helps connect students of all ages and backgrounds to learn new subjects -- from math today to others in the future.
We’re a team that sometimes falls down, always gets back up, and never stops having fun.
Trust and open communication: seeking to understand, then to be understood
Positive culture of error: learning from mistakes, iterating, and improving
Gratitude: keeping a grateful mindset through ups and downs
Humble perseverance: falling down seven times, getting up eight
Rising together: lifting ourselves up by lifting others
Beginner's mindset: embarking on all journeys with an open mind
RightOn! consists of three progressive web apps: a database of games and questions (Central), a teacher dashboard (Host), and a student-facing web app (Play). Our platform runs on AWS, including AppSync/GraphQL, DynamoDB, and Lambda.

The react-native npm package.
A local.properties file if testing on Android.
The Xcode editor if testing on iOS.
Some NPM packages may be out of date and need to be updated for the Android build.
If you encounter the following error:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':amazon-cognito-identity-js'. Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+]
Locate the `build.gradle` file in `node_modules/amazon-cognito-identity.js/android`, find the line mentioned in the `dependencies` object, and change `implementation` to `compile`.
If you receive a `hasteImpl returning the same name for different files` error in your packager: This is due to identical path names created by AWS Amplify. To fix this issue, simply drag the `#current-cloud-backend` folder from `${root}/amplify` out, restart the packager and run again.
