Research shows that: • Video-based learning improves retention by 65% compared to text-based learning. • 80% of students say they learn better with a structured video lesson plan. • Many learners struggle with finding the right educational content on YouTube. We asked: Can we create a tool that curates structured video-based learning, while keeping it engaging? 🎥📚 With Chaos Learn, you get a personalized study experience, blending education with entertainment to optimize retention and engagement!

What it does

Chaos Learn automatically generates a lesson plan based on your study topic and curates a mix of: Educational videos 📖 – Structured lessons tailored to your topic. Fun videos – Interleaved for better engagement, based on a fun theme you pick! Quizzes – Automatically generated quizzes based on the content of the videos you’ve watched.

Frontend: • React (Vite + Tailwind CSS) – Responsive and modern UI. • Framer Motion – Smooth animations. • React Player – Video playback. • React Router – Page navigation between the homepage and the playlist.
