What is the purpose of this assignment?

This exercise can be done by yourself or with someone else. The latter means you have additional feedback.

• Create a Google Meet
• Join the meeting and turn the captions on
• Speak about something you feel comfortable discussing (your family, hobby, etc.)
• Whilst speaking, see how the captions on Google Meet understand you

Think about:

• Are you speaking too fast?
• Has Google meet yet to understand a specific word? Which one was it? Search for its pronunciation and practice it

• Commenting: Make it possible for a user to add a comment on your website (the comment won’t get saved anywhere, so it will disappear when the page is refreshed - we’ll work on saving later on)
• Shopping Cart Light: Make it possible to add products to a “shopping cart” (again, we won’t be able to check out/pay with what we know so far)
• Image carousel: Allow the user to cycle through a set of images
• Hamburger menu: Display a dropdown menu like https://dev.to/devggaurav/let-s-build-a-responsive-navbar-and-hamburger-menu-using-html-css-and-javascript-4gci
