Inspiration

Learning today is often fragmented , students jump between multiple platforms for roadmaps, mentorship, and projects, while mentors and founders struggle to engage efficiently. I wanted to create a single hub where learners get personalized AI-guided paths, mentors can easily share their expertise, and founders showcase projects to get real feedback.

What it does

EduSpark is an AI-powered Learning and Mentorship Hub that brings everything into one place: Personalized AI Roadmaps for students based on their career goals. Seamless Mentor Scheduling integrated with Google Calendar. Project Showcase Gallery where students and founders display work, collaborate, and get peer/mentor feedback.

How we built it

Frontend: React with Tailwind. Backend: Flask APIs with MongoDB for storage. Integrations: Google Calendar for mentorship booking. AI Assistance: Used Kiro to generate initial React components, structure Flask boilerplates, and debug MongoDB schemas quickly.

Challenges we ran into

  • Integrating Google Calendar smoothly with Flask authentication.
  • Designing roadmaps that were both flexible and personalized.
  • Time constraints while balancing frontend polish with backend stability.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Building a working prototype in limited time.
  • Getting AI-generated roadmaps to dynamically adapt to career goals.
  • Automating boilerplate code with Kiro, which let me focus on real features.

What we learned

  • How to leverage AI (Kiro) effectively in the spec-to-code workflow.
  • Importance of UX simplicity when designing learning dashboards.
  • How mentorship scheduling can be automated to save time for both students and mentors.

What's next for EDUSPARK-Learning and Mentorship Hub.

  • Adding real-time chat and collaboration rooms.
  • Expanding roadmap generator to cover more domains with deeper AI customization.
  • Partnering with mentors and startups to make EduSpark a real-world community.
  • Mobile app version for accessibility.
