About Us:
Deaf Kids Codes (DKC) aims to allow hard of hearing students to access the same educational resources as their peers. This project specifically works on STEM Education. The team came up with the idea to convert Khan Academy videos to American Sign Language (ASL). This way, educational content will be widely accessible to hard of hearing students. For ASL to be accepted as an official language for Khan Academy, at least 1000 videos need to be converted to ASL. This is a monumental task. Currently the Deaf Kids Outreach (DKO) teams aims to build a website to attract people who are proficient in ASL to convert the Khan Academy videos and upload it. With time, as the site gains popularity, we will reach our 1000 videos target and eventually Khan Academy with list ASL as one of their official languages. The project partner for DKO is Shireen Hafeez. She founded DKC with the aim of improving education and employment opportunities for children with special needs.

Deployments allow for changes made to go out on the cloud. There are three environment:
- Development: Where devs do local development and test features and functionality
- Staging: Where you stress test the application and simulate high traffic and throughput conditions. Helps to catch bugs and assures quality of the application
- Production: The main app that is out on the domain
To deploy in Azure, there are three different services running, each with their own urls.
NOTE: Check the Azure dashboard for the different environment URLs
