Inspiration
One of our team members watched a YouTube video on the future of education in the digital age and began to ponder the possibilities of organizing educational content to be more efficient.
The Problem
When searching for educational content on the Internet, it can be frustrating and time-consuming to find videos that answer the questions you have or sufficiently explain a new concept. The videos you find may be too boring, too vague, or requiring too much background knowledge to understand.
The Solution
Minerva is a desktop app that sorts educational videos by subject and topic. Users give feedback on the videos they have seen, letting other users know which videos are most suited for their needs.
Challenges We Faced
To create all of the aspects of the app that we desired, we had to utilize many different programming languages and libraries. This was time consuming, but necessary to make everything work just right.
The Technology
Minerva was created with the help of Electron, a desktop app development software, and GearHost. The programming languages used in its development were html5, CSS, R, SQL, JavaScript and Java.
