Back-End

Purpose

• The main purpose of this repo is to serve as the backend to the larger group project we're calling "Classroom Wars". The GitHub repo's can all be found here.

• The main purpose of this application is to serve teachers in their never-ending quest to engage students in a more meaningful way. Our top priority was providing teachers the tools to engage students in the remote educational setting using gamificaiton methods, but this application can most definitely be applied to the in-person educational setting.
