🩻🕯️ Cadaver's Crypt — Haunted Anatomy Learning Platform

🧠 Inspiration

As a medical student drowning in dry textbooks and monotonous cadaver labs, I wanted to resurrect anatomy education through an engaging Halloween-themed experience. The Kiroween hackathon's spooky theme was the perfect opportunity to transform medical education into an unforgettable haunted adventure! 🎃📚
