Inspiration
The idea for EduEarn was sparked when I saw a close friend losing a significant amount of money through online betting. It made me question why addictive, reward-based systems are often associated with risky or unproductive behaviors. I thought—why not apply the same motivational mechanics to something positive like learning? That’s when the concept of EduEarn was born: a platform where students can “bet” on their knowledge and get rewarded for studying instead of gambling.
What it does
EduEarn is an innovative educational platform that motivates students to learn by rewarding their academic progress. It gamifies the learning experience by offering incentives for correct answers and consistent engagement, making studying feel more interactive and goal-driven.
How we built it
Frontend: Built in Android Studio using XML and Java.
Backend: Implemented Firebase Realtime Database for data storage and Firebase Authentication for user login.
AI Assistance: Utilized Cursor AI for fast prototyping and debugging.
Design: Clean UI/UX with progress tracking and reward systems.
Key Features
Multiple-choice quizzes across subjects
Points and rewards system for correct answers
Progress tracking and streak-based rewards
Admin panel to update questions dynamically
