A Brighter Tomorrow -Team 8 - Aniket,Tyler,Vaishnavi,Nivedha

Inspiration

I (Aniket) have worked with special ed students in the past, and our team knew that students with learning disabilities often take a lot of effort to teach. In the midst of this Covid-19 situation, we realized that special-ed students won't be able to grasp concepts and lessons through traditional remote-learning websites like Google Classroom. Special-ed students often need more effort teaching than most, especially during remote learning, and we decided to focus on this marginalized community and the teachers that help them.

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. The website is also meant to help users stay focused with a rewards system that helps 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 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 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.\

What we learned

We learned how to design webpages much easier, and we also learned how to implement ideas into HTML and code.

What's next for A Brighter Tomorrow -Team 8 - Aniket, Tyler, Vaishnavi, and Nivedha

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.
