Inspiration

Children in High School are not generally aware about what exactly they want to pursue as a career. In India especially,we are not really told about professions other than Engineers,Doctors and Lawyers. Students mostly choose their career based the subject which they like or the subject which is scoring. There has to be a platform for students to explore and gather information about several professions other than these as what is to be done in future shouldn’t be based on marks. It is something which we should do because we love it.

What it does

A one stop destination where you can connect with industry professionals,learn about their experiences and anecdotes and in turn make an informed decision about your career. You never know you can find friends as well as mentors for life time.

How we built it

React.js Tailwind css React chat engine Firebase

Challenges we ran into

Since this is the first Hackathon, in which I have made a submission and I am a beginner. Certain things like creating a web app with multiple pages using react was a bit tricky. I also was facing some issues with my Facebook login and chat-bot feature on the homepage.

What's next for professionaled

The app can further have an AI based chatbot.There can be various test people can go through to get to know about their strengths and options for them. Anonymity feature can be there for both mentors and mentees. A feature for video sessions can be created. Scheduled messages options can also be inserted.
