Inspiration

The transition to online learning has been hard on all of us. Not only does it deprive us of the chance for peer collaboration, it reduces interaction with course material and makes it harder to access tutors or other help on our homework. Therefore, we wanted to create an all in one platform to make virtual learning easier on us and potentially many other middle school, high school, and college students.

What it does

Study Space is a virtual study room where users can chat with others, video call peers, find tutors, and access other supplemental resources. This way, online learning can become more effective and easy for everyone.

How we built it

We built this platform using HTML and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

Trying to create an external database to store user inputs. Tried various websites for free external database services. Tried using Python/Django to connect to localhost and then make JS send http request to server and receive http response. Not enough time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to finish the entire span in just a few hours, create the slide deck, and also the pitch video. Not only did we learn a lot about web development, we also learned about time management.

What we learned

We learned all about HTML and CSS and how to manipulate code to create a website.

What's next for Study Space

Using an external database to store the user profile (including user’s preference of subjects, user’s grade, user’s location, user’s time zone, etc.) We plan on finalizing our website by making the front-end more user friendly and improving back-end security. Additionally, we will prototype on potential users to get feedback and adjust our services accordingly. Lastly, we will launch our product and start a marketing campaign to increase our user base.
