Inspiration👨🏻💻
We as a team consisting of students understood how the pandemic took a toll on the educational sector and initially it seemed quite hard to concentrate and adapt to so many things at once, to get done with one assignment it took so many clicks and searches to get to the right resources and get into the right mood for it. So, we thought we could build something which makes this process a lot easier as compared to before and we came up with the idea for combining technology with study so that everyone has access to the content in just few clicks.
What it does🔖
Our hack basically is going to be a learning management system that will be providing the students with the following benefits:
Educational News (Syllabus, National Exam Schedule, Cut-Offs etc.)
Stopwatch/Pomodoro Timer for calculating productivity
TimeTable Management: Can add /edit and delete tasks
A section for YouTube Tutorials and LoFi Music: Helps in learning and concentrating
Basic Calculator
Links to sites that provide Internship Opportunities
Links to sites where one can take MCQ Tests
Book Recommendations / Reading Lists
Courses that give access to PDFs and Worksheets
Pricing for the premium version
Great UI/UX for students
How we built it🌀
Coding: (Done by one person) Used CSS /HTML /JavaScript and a bit of Python Content & Visuals: (Done by one person) Used Canva for making the posters and the banners, Intro and Outro templated from Figma Community and edited them with text from OpenFonts (OTT Format) on Jitter, The content was purely self-written and paraphrased through QuillBot . Editing: (Done by one person)Used CapCut to edit the video and time it
Challenges we ran into🏃🏻
We initially had a broad plan and wanted every single detail of our project to be functional but the time constraint and lack of technical soundness in some aspects led to last-minute complications. Time was also a barrier for us.
Accomplishments that we're proud of🏆
We came across multiple issues throughout the project but we are very happy with the product we could assemble in a short duration, we are happy that the majority of our hack is functional and the colour theme + content complement each other well enough. What we thought at the start, we were able to complete it by the end
What we learned🧾
Apart from subjective and practical gains from the project we were able to pinpoint how important coordinating within is, we learnt that matching the energy and productivity rate with the rest of the team is very essential.
What's next for STechUDY⏭️
At the moment STechUDY is specifically useful for Indian Students considering the news/worksheets etc. are based on the educational rules and curriculum under the Indian Central Government so we would want to expand the student reach and make the platform more internationally accessible, simultaneously we would want to diversify the platform by developing something similar within STechUDY for working individuals /adults.
