This repository hosts the JSON file for the Amazon Alexa Skill "Real Facts"
You can enable the skill on your alexa device through the amazon store here: https://www.amazon.com/Kenny-Jarnagin-Real-Facts/dp/B074VBMCCH/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1504744980&sr=1-1&keywords=Real+Facts
This skill is PG-13 (basically, nothing your kids shouldn't hear). The entire idea behind this skill is to give the users a pointless/useless fact (and sometimes one that is actually interesting). This skill will be periodically updated.
Should you wish to develop an Alexa skill of your own, you'll need an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account and an Amazon Developer account.
Here is the link to sign up/sign in for an AWS account: www.aws.amazon.com
Here is the link to sign up/sign in for the Amazon Developer account: www.developer.amazon.com
I would also recommend, if you're a student, signing up for Amazon educate (https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/) This is FILLED to the brim with great tools for students to learn and develop practical skills that will go beyond Amazon!
Lastly, but definitely not least, is the amazon challenges (there's usually a student one going on). Those challenges can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit/alexa-developer-skill-promotion For the student-specific developer challenges, just Google "Amazon alexa student promotion" and you should be able to find something!
