This is a replica of the famous online quiz web application "Kahoot!". This application however has only one of the functionalitites of kahoot, that is create a quiz and host it as a challenge by setting start date and time, end date and time and share it with students. This application makes use of chart.js library for generating and displaying charts and dialogFlow for chatbot. This is developed using MEAN stack.
There are two roles, namely student and teacher. The teacher can create a quiz and host it as a challenge by setting title, description, start date time, end date time.
