Inspiration: We were inspired by helping older family members navigate technology and realized millions struggle with basic digital literacy.
What it does: TechBuddy is a friendly, accessible guide that teaches essential tech skills through simple, visual tutorials and step-by-step instructions.
How we built it: We created an interactive React application with emoji visuals, clear content organization, and responsive design for all devices.
Challenges we ran into: Balancing simplicity with comprehensive information and making technical concepts approachable without being patronizing.
Accomplishments we're proud of: Developing a judgment-free learning tool that has already helped test users gain confidence with email and online safety.
What we learned: Technical literacy gaps are wider than we imagined, and empathy is just as important as good code in edtech solutions.
