Inspiration
We noticed that students often struggle to stay engaged with traditional learning materials. With online resources scattered and no personalized guidance, learning becomes overwhelming. Our goal was to create a centralized, AI-powered learning companion that makes studying interactive, fun, and effective.
What It Does
StellarLearn helps students learn in a gamified, structured way:
- Mission Quests: Solve curated questions and earn achievements.
- PDF & YouTube Notes: Automatically generate well-structured notes and practice questions.
- AI Mentor (Pixie): Provides explanations, guidance, and personalized help.
- Achievements & Progress Tracking: Motivate students through gamification.
How We Built It
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS for a responsive, modern UI.
- Backend: Node.js + Express for API handling and AI integrations.
- AI Integration: ChatAnywhere API for generating notes, questions, and personalized mentorship.
- Deployment: Hosted on Render for seamless accessibility.
Challenges We Ran Into
- Handling PDF and transcript parsing efficiently for AI processing.
