Inspiration

We were inspired by the idea that every child should have the chance to explore different career paths early on. By combining fun, interactive play with learning, we aim to help kids discover their passions and realize their potential in fields like engineering, science, business, and art.

What it does

Our application offers an engaging introduction to different career paths through interactive play. Each career offers an interactive "day in the life" experience, allowing kids to explore various roles in engineering, science, business, and art through age-appropriate mini-games and lessons. This early exposure helps children explore their interests, learn foundational skills, and gain a better understanding of what different careers involve, all while having fun.

AI special focus

AI-driven learning tool designed to make education around many fields. Powered by a large language model (LLM) backend, it generates subject-specific questions and provides tailored lessons or hints, adapting to the learner’s progress. When users submit their answers, the AI evaluates them in real time, offering feedback to guide their understanding. If they answer incorrectly, they stay on the same question, receiving more support until they succeed. This flexible approach can be applied to coding, science, math, and beyond, making personalized education engaging for learners of all ages and fields.

How we built it

Our application was built using ReactJS for front-end, Python for back-end, Phaser framework for gameplay, and Groq API to generate interactive storylines for each career adventure.

Challenges we ran into

Adusting the LLM point to = 0.7. The challenge of real-time response evaluation was met with advanced parsing techniques, allowing the system to intelligently interpret and validate a range of user inputs.This nuanced balance between adaptability and precision ensures both engagement and educational efficacy.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our team learned a lot in developing this project and we're proud of what we were able to accomplish within a limited timeframe. We were certainly ambitious in trying learn and incorporate several new technologies. Fortunately, our hard work paid off and we were able to successfully bring our project idea to life

What we learned

This was our team's first time exploring game development, particularly with the Javascript framework Phaser. We also learned how to incorporate AI into our projects using the Groq API.

What's next for Career Quest

Looking towards the future, there are several additional features and improvements our team would like to integrate. We would like to expand the number of career options available for users to explore, and tailor career suggestions to their interests and personality. Additionally, we'd like to collaborate with professionals & educators to create more accurate "day in the life" storylines.
