Inspiration

We drew from our own experiences as students and considered what problem we face in today’s age and society. With Covid-19, contact is limited and anytime you see someone, it's with a mask. We barely see any teachers and lose many opportunities to obtain help or develop a student-teacher relationship that is so beneficial to learning.

What it does

Connects help seeking students with experienced tutors Video conferencing for multiple participants Offers assistance in Math, Social Studies, Physics, Chemistry, and English. Expandable to other topics with access to larger set of data for the neural network

How we built it

JavaScript, Node.JS, Express.JS, Google Oauth, HTML5, CSS3, Pug, Heroku We used a combination of the above languages to create an interactive website, a video conferencing room, and a way to take and analyze what kind of help is needed to be connected to an appropriate tutor.

Challenges we ran into

We were pretty inexperienced in all of the technologies that we used and thus we had to learn as we went along This resulted in a lot of trial and error and a lot of the concepts that we thought of creating weren’t as easy as expected

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The creation of a viable platform to connect students and teachers in a world that limits personal contact to a large extent Contributing an actually useful program that can be utilized by students all over the country

What we learned

How to make Webapp w/ Express.JS & MongoDB How to use CSS libraries like Materialize.css and Bootstrap 4 Jade/Pug Formatting How to host an application on Heroku

What's next for Tutr

Driving a lot of traffic through it to allow more and more people to become connected Updating/Releasing different version so that it can be used in different schools all over the world
