Challenge Statement

B1 - The broken bridge from learning to earning — How might we help young people turn demonstrated ability into income, projects, or credible opportunities faster?

Inspiration

We were inspired to create project from our own personal experience. We had learnt the skills needed to do projects, but where do we even start?

The cycle of nonstop searching for the starting line due to the mountain of information online, in addition to a confusing workspace for your project, slowly kills your creative passion for it. Whether it be projects or a startup, this a common issue we have found among youths.

What it does

Our project introduces an AI-powered workbench which provides an easy and clean workspace for youths to create projects or startups, or even advertise freelancing ideas!

Through this project, youths with extraordinary ideas will be able to make them come to life. Allowing technology to not be gatekept under mountains of information, and perhaps help spark revolutionary ideas.

How we built it

We used FireSpace as our main workspace and database for our website, as well as GPT-4o-mini as the integrated AI to assist with sparking revolutionary ideas within our users.

Challenges we ran into

At first it was difficult to ideate what might be realistic to our challenge statement.

Hallucinations of Artificial Intelligence did not make our situation better, it affected aspects of the website which strayed from our original intent.

On our side, we experienced many hardware issues which made it challenging to collaborate.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Over the past week, we were able to create our gameplan, finish our preparation for the hackathon, and most importantly, finish the website.

Planning, creating and troubleshooting the website was a challenge, even with the assistance of AI. We needed to make sure our project matched our original intent and that every specifications stated for the AI allowed it to generate the correct output. Which we were pleasantly satisfied with our accomplishment.

What we learned

Through this experience, we had to learn to manage our time and team. We thought on the spot and we persevered through each challenge that we faced along the way.

We found our strengths and weaknesses, and learnt to back each other up at times.

What's next for TalentHub - LocalEdge SG

Hopefully, we get picked and win this hackathon, which would allow us to expand our ideas in this website and allow more features, such as a community, a calendar, and more. Allowing this idea to flourish.
