  Profile of student

Inspiration

I am international student paying out of state. I have seen students like me in need of money who can sell their talent for it.

What it does

This is a platform that helps student (selling talent), who can’t afford the to pay for college, find potential donor.

How we built it

We have built the proof of concept using InVision.

Challenges we ran into

Technical difficulties setting up nodejs. First time working on web-development. Insufficient storage on our computers.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a unified vision that allows for expansion and rapid implementation. Researching potential technologies to maximize time vs. output.

What we learned

The beauty of Unix environments. Setting up a development environment is often most of the battle. Choosing a correct framework for web development can take time.

What's next for CollegeTalent

Implementation using NodeJs hosted on an EC2 instance hooked up with AWS DynamoDB (cheaper than Firebase Firestore), along with OAuth authentication and FCM for instant notification of matches. Hopefully also sentiment analysis (IBM Personality Analysis API) on applicant essays to match with a donor's values.
