What is EducationConnect?

EducationConnect is an open-source platform that helps students, professors, institutions, philanthropists, and people to protect their intellectual ideas through a decentralized and transparent way using blockchain technology to document each journey from start to finish while protecting its privacy.

The mission of EducationConnect is to enable people to take ownership of their works, projects, and ideas through a representation of NFTs that they can sell, swap, or rent. Each idea/project is represented as an NFT that holds a financial value. The way it works is by a simple process where the user shares their awesome idea within our platform, we generate a Non-Fungible Token, then the user invites people, mentors, experts, and investors, to join his/her project by offering funder benefits and incentives.

What it does

We are providing users with the necessary tools and resources allowing individuals/Institutions to fund student projects for further education and research support. This creates new opportunities for people to secure their work, project, and ideas as an NFT. Please help us to reach our goals by contributing to this project.

How we built it

NFTStorage: the data is stored on NFTStorage IPFS, the generated hash (CID) will be used to view the details and to retrieve the NFT.
Solidity: Solidity was used for the smart contract together with OpenZeppelin ERC721 for faster development of the smart contract
Ganache: for local blockchain development
Metis Test Network: to deploy our app
Frontend: React Js for the frontend, Material-UI, and Web3 to connect to the blockchain.
Unlock for giving the user access to exclusive content

Challenges we ran into

We have run into multiple challenges while integrating the Metis Network, it didn't work using Truffle so we have to use Remix to deploy our contract.
