Inspiration

One of our inspirations came from Covid-19; the fact that people could no longer access teaching resources at times that were convenient for them made us think of individuals who would have faced this problem before Covid-19 due to extra work, childcare, limited transport, financial, carer and Gender hindering them from getting an education.

What it does

We created an educational app that can be accessed by both teachers and students (or just young people) who would like to further develop their learning, find out about scholarships available or get information about careers. Our target was to try and reach the UN goals 3 (good well-being and health), 4 (quality education) and, 10 (reduced inequalities). The overall purpose of the app is for people of all backgrounds and ages to get a well-rounded and in-depth education.

How we built it

We started off by coming up with a range of ideas, then found some inspiration from educational platforms and discussed what we liked about the and what we wished it had, we then decided we were going to try to implement the things we wanted platforms to use more. We found that the best platforms to map our ideas were Figma and Miro. We used JS, CSS, React-Native, and HTML to build it.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with choosing which IDE to use as some were not compatible with all team members software and setting up (especially emulators). Some of the packages we installed caused some problems which took a while to fix. The initial language we were going to build in was between android, java, expo and react native; after testing each one we chose to use react native. Sometimes the App.js file and package.json would accidentally be pushed to the Git so we would have to quickly resolve that issue before we carried on coding.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Proud of what we were able to achieve within the time frame. Better understanding of the problems around the world, and being able to help find potential solutions. We were able to showcase and build on the skills we already had. Seeing our ideas come to life. We found that working under pressure was quite fun.

What we learned

We all learnt a new language, the importance of having a good team, some of us learnt how to use Git and version control. We were educated on the diffuculties other people faced. The importance of having a good team
