Inspiration

Technologies to enhance the quality of learning. In today’s times we are seeing a gradual shift to online education given its flexibility and wide availability. People are also getting their certifications online via different education platforms. The goal of this hackathon is to create a project that will improve the way we learn, be it online or offline. In this sense, College.Me is a mentoring platform that connects high schoolers with university students, in order to avoid school dropout, encourage students to enter higher education and guide students by providing academic, personal and professional support.
