Edu Hub

Inspiration

We were inspired by the prompt to re-use a currently existing application for better use for society. We decided to refurbish Discord as most of us used it in our daily lives and we felt it could be used for the better. For that reason, we created an excellent application: Edu Hub short for The Education Hub for You.

What it does

Edu Hub allows users to participate in various school-related activities. Our system facilitates a better education for students in many ways, mainly due to its resemblance to a familiar and fun platform called Discord. Our platform allows students to keep track of assignments in order to make sure that they complete their assignments before the due date. In addition, students can take note of different lectures allowing them to save important information for later use, memorization, and overall for to help them understand the concepts they are being taught. Last but not least, our platform allows users to chat in various ways such as through conversations regarding various homework assignments or talks with teachers and other administrators in a less formal way

How we built it

We built the project using mainly frontend technologies such as NextJS and React with a styling system called TailwindCSS as well as other useful technologies

Challenges we ran into

We ran into many challenges with a cloud system called Firebase and our styling system of choice was TailwindCSS.

Accomplishments that we are proud of

What I learned

We learned many concepts such as image rendering and how to use python in Firebase
