My custom Amazon Alexa skill "Metric School" has passed certification. It is a learning experience in form of a quiz on some basic conversions, facts, and tips on Metric System to
help people learn basics of it, using their Amazon Alexa or Echo devices. It is another piece of software next to my "Everything Metric" Firefox and Chrome extensions to help metrication of the only country that has not converted yet, or at least committed to adopting the International System of measurements.
Interaction with Alexa goes something like this (it is randomized):
- Alexa, Open Metric School.
- Welcome to Metric School. I will make you an expert in the Metric System. Are you ready for some facts and questions?
- Yes
- If you walk fast, it takes you 10 minutes to walk 1 kilometer. How many minutes will it take you to walk for 1.7 kilometers?
- Seventeen
- Yes! It is a simple life hack, just move the decimal point.
(if the user answered wrong):
It's 17. Simply move the decimal point. For example, 3.3 kilometers takes 33 minutes of fast walk.
...
Different responses are provided depending if the user answered the question correctly or not, followed by associated fact or a random one.
