Open Curricula

The Problem

Many teachers around the world don't have great access to teaching good, well developed materials. Too often, teachers are forced to reinvent the wheel - spending countless hours creating content from scratch or relying on incomplete resources.

Open Curricula was created to address this challenge directly by giving teachers a dedicated platform to share, discover, and collaborate on teaching materials.

Our solution

Open Curricula solves this issues by creating a platform for educators, where they can:

• Share Curriculum: Upload lesson plans, projects, syllabi, and teaching resources.
• Discover Resources: Browse and search for high-quality, peer-reviewed materials created by teachers worldwide.

Run Locally

The front end can be easily run by running npm run dev in the root directory.

Technologies and Libraries used

Front end

The front end uses React, Next.js, and Tailwind to create a modern, professional website that has server side rendering and abilities to work with our backend APIs.

Backend

The backend uses spring boot to handle API requests and act as a layer between the frontend and server, allowing to easily and securely store and get curricula from the database. Additionally, hibernate acts as our main library for database operations.
