Skillscapade

Inspiration

Our inspiration for Skillscapade came from the need for a unique twist on more "corporate" learning platforms, offering a way for users to engage with content in a way that feels less like a chore and more like an adventure. We wanted to create a tool that would empower individuals and organizations to design customized, gamified learning experiences that not only teach new skills, but also inspire a sense of curiosity, exploration, and achievement. With Skillscapade, we hope to revolutionize how people think about learning and make education more enjoyable and effective for everyone.

What it does

• Users can create an account using Google and view the profile page.

• Dynamic calls to Google Firebase for documenting
• Secure SSO sign in with Fireauth

Challenges we ran into

• User identification
  • hard to do securely
• asynchronous communication
  • hard to update in real time
  • accomplished using RxJS observable/subscriber models

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Secure, data visualizations update in real time

What we learned

• Lots of Angular backend development
• The Angularfire API for configuring and using Firebase with Angular
• Stenganography and finance, for tract research

What's next for Skillscapade

• We plan to add quick and easy editing tools for users and companies to upload and edit their own content tracts for use in learning about niche subjects and corporate training on the material.
• We also plan to make a system that would track course popularity and use machine learning to cluster similar courses and recommend different courses to users automatically.
