FocoLearn

Inspiration

As teenagers, we understand that one of the biggest problems affecting us is time management, especially when it comes to browsing the internet. We wanted to find a more fun and interactive way of learning that would excite the user and track their progress.

What it does

User-friendly application that enables user to select what subject they want to practice and provides questions respectively. It also stimulates interest in teenagers by implementing a pointage system that can then be sent to the parents to track the progress of their child.

How I built it

Java was used for back-end JavaSwing GUI(GridLayout API) was used for front-end

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenges that we ran into were generating the front end to match the features of the back-end and developing the front-end, in general.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We developed an efficient back-end that accomplished all the goals that we were looking for.

What I learned

We learned about new app development tools such as Heroku

What's next for FocoLearn

The next step for focolearn is to make it more widespread in terms of the subjects that we encompass as well as increasing the problem datasets that we have to improve UI experience.

Created by

I worked on the front-end as well and a part of the back-end. I handled the look and layout of the application and cleaned up the code for the back-end. I learned about the inbuilt javaswing class for gui's and also learned about different tools that I can use to launch computer applications while doing this.

I worked on most of the back-end of the project. I handled all the classes and calculations for the program. I learned about timers and hash maps while doing this.
