lifeChyke

Inspiration

When creating lifeChyke we had 2 websites as our inspiration; Quizlet and Notion. Notion is a website where you have everything you need organized all in one place, we wanted to add these aspects to our website. Quizlet is a website that has helped thousands of students all around the globe, however, they recently added a subscription fee for a lot of their features, making the website significantly less impactful for students who can't afford the subscription, we wanted to add our own better and free version of quizlet.

What it does

How we built it

Since we are creating a pitch and neither of us knew how to code, we decided to build our website with Canva.

Challenges we ran into

One of our biggest challenges was that we had so many ideas but didn't have the skills to implement them. We really wanted to add artificial intelligence for many reasons, we wanted it to create tests, flashcards, games and find resources (like YouTube videos) for students from a picture of their notes or study guide. We also wanted the AI workout plans and diets depending on what sport the person does as well as their goal (gain/lose weight), we also wanted the AI to create financial plans taking aspects such as monthly income, the economic state of the country and other expenses (ex: medicine) into consideration. Sadly, we had no idea how to create AI so we put our ideas to rest and decided to find a different way to try to implement these ideas.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the amount we were able to add to the website, we added multiple different areas that could be stressors as well as a page on how to deal with stress, we put so much time and effort into finding ways to make our ideas come to life. We are proud of all the helpful information that we provided that will hopefully help people around the world when dealing with stress.

What we learned

We learned how to design a website and we now have so much respect for website designors/creators. We learned how to link pages together, meaning that if you press a certain part on a page it will take you to a different page.

What's next for lifeChyke

Next for lifeChyke, we're focusing on expanding our platform’s capabilities by integrating advanced features like personalized counseling, financial planning tools, and peer support networks. We plan to collaborate with educational institutions and industry leaders to enhance our resources and reach a broader audience. Our goal is to continuously adapt and scale lifeChyke to provide even more comprehensive support, ensuring we effectively address the evolving needs of our users and make a meaningful impact on their lives."

How we think lifeChyke could be created

From the what we have concluded from our personal research into the technical aspects of lifeChyke, in order to create lifeChyke it needs to start with user research to design a visually engaging and intuitive UI tailored for teenagers, ensuring accessibility and responsiveness across devices. Then, develop a backend with a robust database for managing user data and content, secure authentication, and real-time functionalities, aswell as integrating APIs for seamless front-end and back-end communication and implement analytics tools for performance monitoring. After building the site, a thorough conduction of testing to ensure everything functions correctly before deployment should take place. Once the site is up and running, there should be regularly devised updates based on user feedback all while simultaneously working on expanding features and partnerships all in hopes of enhancing support for first-generation, low-income students and eventually more people.
