The content of the scenarios is actually built in one of our spreadsheets. This method allows us to fix any typos or areas of confusion simply by changing the cell associated with that scenario.

In order to pull from the spreadsheet, we must call the SpreadsheetApp and DriveApp classes. Since the web app is actually running as you in order to save your progress, your instance of the app is calling to our spreadsheet that is stored in Drive. This is why it is asking for the permissions in Drive and Sheets.

Upon completion, users have the ability to receive the badge associated with this web app emailed to them. In order to add this functionality, the script must call the MailApp class and that is why you are seeing this request for permission.
