Inspiration

The inspiration behind this project stemmed from the need to make complex educational material more digestible and engaging. Traditional textbooks and lecture notes can be dense, making it difficult for students to retain information. By converting them into comics, we provide a fun and memorable way to learn.

What it does

Our project is a website that transforms educational lecture PDFs into engaging comic books. By leveraging AI and web technologies, we aim to make learning more interactive and visually appealing.

How we built it

Backend: We used Python and OpenAI's API to extract content from PDFs, summarize key points, and generate dialogue suited for a comic book format. Frontend: Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, our website provides an intuitive interface where users can upload PDFs and view the generated comics. Integration: JSON was used for structured data exchange between the backend and frontend, ensuring smooth communication.

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring accurate text extraction from PDFs while maintaining context. Fine-tuning the AI-generated dialogues to match a comic-style narrative. Seamlessly connecting the frontend and backend, ensuring smooth data flow and user interaction.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully implemented AI-driven text-to-comic conversion, making learning more engaging. Built a fully functional frontend-backend integration that allows seamless PDF uploads and comic generation. Overcame challenges in fine-tuning AI outputs to produce structured, comic-friendly narratives. Created a project with real-world applications in education, making study materials more accessible.

What we learned

Improved our skills in AI-powered text processing and natural language generation. Gained experience in integrating Python with web technologies. Explored ways to enhance user experience by presenting complex information visually.

What's next for EDUCOMICS

Enhancing the AI model to better structure dialogue and adapt to different educational subjects. Improving the UI/UX to provide a smoother and more interactive user experience. Adding multilingual support, allowing users to generate comics in different languages. Expanding to animations, turning comics into short educational animations for more immersive learning.
