Inspiration

All of us have worked with special-ed students in the past or have family/friends who are in the Special-Ed program. We know that students with learning disabilities often take a lot of effort to teach. In the midst of this Covid-19 situation, we realized that traditional classroom platforms like Google Classroom and Zoom don't help Special-Ed students and hinders their ability to concentrate. Special-ed students need more support (and a better platform), especially during remote learning, and this inspired us to take action to help these students.

What it does

The website is meant to provide students with learning disabilities a platform to work on assignments and projects, as well as a place where teachers can easily monitor progress and assign work. The website allows these students to communicate in more ways than one so that even though they might not be able to speak, they can express how they feel to teachers. Additionally, the website is interactive and allows students to communicate personally with their teachers and classmates. The website is also meant to help users stay focused with reward systems and daily-relaxing exercises which help the student not get distracted and finish work on time.

How we built it

We used a web design page called Figma to design a user-friendly interface and used some HTML and CSS to make the website more functional when pressing buttons and chatting. It is definitely a prototype right now.

Challenges we ran into

The process to make the website was long and the platform had multiple components and we needed time to express our ideas and communicate fully, although we did so in the end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The video came out how we wanted to, and the web page looked exactly as we envisioned. We are proud of our initiative to help these students who deserve the same quality education we do.

What we learned

We learned how to design web pages, and we also learned how to implement ideas into HTML and CSS.

What's next for A Brighter Tomorrow

Putting the idea into fruition would be great for a next step, and it would take time to fully code into HTML, although then we would be able to publish the website and help special-ed students around the country. Another step would be to implement it for students at our school, Dougherty Valley High School, and eventually spread it across our district SRVUSD and our state.
