My daughter has created a fitness app called for a Science Fair project. It is designed to help students prepare for tryouts. We are using a student version and the tutorials and AI can’t help us get the timer started. We want to add other features as well such as a way for the user to set a goal and a way for them to set reminders. The app won’t actually ever be used by anyone it is just a learning process. The student version is different from what we see in some tutorials.

Hello @whitneynaman6ps4zt  
You can find examples using the timer block in our docs: [Timer Blocks | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/timer#example-1-how-to-build-a-stopwatch)
