Inspiration

Indonesia has the 4th largest school systems, however their students fall behind on national tests. We researched ways we can help these students thrive. Many students comment about the lack of creativity in their education system. For this reason, Creative Bloom is predominately centered around fostering creativity and innovation.

What it does

Creative Bloom encourages students to take initiative in their education. We compiled a library of resources in various subjects and built a forum for them to ask questions to other students to encourage communication skills. We also implemented a debate section to help them learn to take in and consider other viewpoints as they figure out how their own viewpoints fit in the world. The Creative Corner highlights art and writing skills and offers recognition for their efforts. We added a points system that keeps track of user interaction with the app. However none of this will matter if students do not understand the importance of their mental health. To help them recognize this importance we offered a private section dedicated to mental health with resources regarding this essential topic.

How we built it

This project was built using bubble.io, an extremely intuitive and easy to use site perfect for this project.

Challenges we ran into

We had some issues understanding just how intuitive the app was. Some occasion things were automatically filled in some texts which in turn lead to a bunch of bugs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We figured out dynamic ways to display out posts, for example a tile format similar to pinterest / tumblr or Creative Corner

What we learned

From this project we have learned our privilege to be living in America. All three of us attend a well known university that offers excellent education, we are truly blessed. When we read that one of the issues in Indonesia was a good teacher, all of us reflected that if we hadn't had excellent teachers to guide us, our lives would not be the same. We understand the importance of education and so we wanted to do our part to try and give others the same chances we were fortunate enough to have.

What's next for Creative Bloom

Continuing our education. It never ends after all. We don't mean our academic education however we mean to continue educating ourselves about the world. What we have done in two days for Creative Bloom only scratches the surface of more to come. So we will continue working on this project, listen to any criticisms we may receive and work harder to evening the playing field for other students.
