Inspiration

We wanted to create a way for children to connect with history in an engaging and interactive way. With this idea in mind, we built Stories for Tomorrow, a platform that brings history’s greatest minds to life using AI.

What it does

Stories for Tomorrow enables users to engage in AI-powered conversations with historical figures. By entering a question, users receive responses as if they were speaking directly to figures like Marie Curie, Frida Kahlo, or Louis Riel.

How we built it

Frontend: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to structure and style the website Backend: OpenAI’s API to generate responses in the voice of historical figures User Input Processing: The "Ask More Questions" button takes a custom user prompt, formats it into a structured AI query, and retrieves a response

Challenges we ran into

We had to optimize API calls, refine response formatting, and design a seamless user experience within the hackathon’s time constraints, which we found very challenging with many of us being first-time Hackathoners.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a fun and engaging way for students to explore history; Successfully building an interactive AI-powered educational tool in a short time; Designing a clean, user-friendly interface.

What we learned

Working with OpenAI’s API taught us how to optimize API calls and structure responses efficiently; Working under hackathon constraints taught us how to prioritize features and collaborate efficiently.
