StudySync

Inspiration

Over the past decade and especially after 2020 there has been a chronic absence issue in high schools and colleges around the world. This shows that there is an increase in the need for self-study tools beyond the days of simply adding topics to a flash card. The world needs a new innovative way of study that will aid in any topic and is persistent until mastery is obtained.

What it does

StudySync is a toolbox that syncs all the educational resources that you will ever need. There has been the age of Quizlet where students can manually input flashcards but there has never been a way for students to do Khan academy style quizzes on any topic of their choosing. We offer the ability to upload any article on any topic and our site will generate an adaptive quiz on the topic. The more you get correct the shorter the quiz, if a lack of knowledge is detected easier questions will be generated until more advanced questions can be asked. Within the site, there is the option to turn any article into Bionic form link. With one click an article can be transformed for faster and more effective reading. If you ever want to not read the entire article our toolbox offers the ability to also pull out main ideas and print them out to you as if it was expert advice. Learning on your own has never been easier with StudySync.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

We started off as a very small team so the challenges of starting a project and finishing it 24 hours later were very evident. We had little to no manpower but we were able to pull through learning as we went on. As first-time users of the OpenAI API, it brought a big learning curve but once over that obstacle, we were able to pull through. Being overly ambitious was also a struggle but we stuck to what we knew and were able to come out with a functioning product.

What's next for StudySync

We hope to be able to contain all the study resources that a student could ever need. In the near future, we will implement an easier way to create flash cards. Mathematics is one of the subjects that is the hardest to learn on your own but we hope to be able to implement a way to create practice problems on any math topic with assisted answers and aid. Education is in an age of major change and we hope to stay at the forefront of innovation.
