Inspiration

  • GSU students want to give back & make a difference
  • Tackling educational inequality
  • What it does

  • Video communication between mentors and learners
  • Provide passionate mentors starting with GSU students
  • Available for individual or group learners starting from Atlanta area
  • Flexible teaching plans, meeting time & frequency
  • How we built it

  • We used html and javascript in Visual Studio Code.
  • Challenges we ran into

    We had to pivot multiple times while we were figuring out the best way to build our application. We looked at:

  • Laravel (php framework for backend) & React (for frontend)
  • and then...
  • MeteorJS (javascript framework for backend) & React (for frontend)
  • and then we finally settled on...
  • HTML & Javascript

    Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • None of our tech team members were familiar with HTML & Javascript.
  • Our tech team members set up a good workflow even though it was our first time coding as a group rather than individually.
  • Our research team members finished the logo and poster describing our project all on Saturday.
  • What we learned

  • As long we know how to divide-and-conquer, then any huge task is possible to do.
  • When you are unfamiliar with a language or concept like web app development, break the task down into things you know and this will make the learning process easier
  • What's next for Universal Learning

  • We plan to set up a database to handle our web app's data using mySQL.
  • Built With
