How we built it

Brainiac has been developed as a full stack web application, which is completely responsive in order to make it accessible to all sectors of learners. It is powered by a robust and type-safe Django backend designed in the Python Programming Language which allows us to seamlessly integrate and organize our code base without going through the hassle of segregating web components.

On the frontend, we have used TailwindCSS in order to deliver finesse in design.

Challenges we ran into

we had a hard time choosing the stack, we wanted to go nextjs but decided against it as we werent much familiar with it.

What we learned

we learned a lot about teamwork and a LOT about python in webdev

What's next for Brainiac

Medium-term goals include expanding the learning community, leveraging AI, and exploring enterprise solutions.
