My Journey with Oppia

The highlight of the week was definitely finally being able to launch Oppia on my machine. I am not going to lie, it was truly ecstatic. Collectively, I would say it took me around five hours to set it up properly. I had to restart the process from scratch three times, and I did rage quit once. I am honestly a little scared that it’s going to break. Still, I am very excited to start contributing to Oppia (even though, when Professor Klukowska warned us around five times that people always had issues with setting up the Oppia developer environment, we probably should’ve listened to her).

On Oppia, there are plenty of lessons that need to be translated into Russian, so this way it will be very easy to rank up contributions to the project. + It seems that it would be a significant improvement to the platform because it will make the platform more accessible to a large number of people! From a more technical standpoint, I found an issue that requires writing tests for functions, which I am excited to work on since it will help me develop my programming skills. I am currently preparing my comment to leave under the issue, so I can get it assigned to me.
