🌟 Inspiration

MentorQuest was inspired by the need to make high-quality, personalized education accessible to students worldwide, regardless of their location or socioeconomic background.

We recognized that traditional education systems often fail to provide individualized attention, especially in underserved communities.

By combining artificial intelligence, gamification, and wellness tracking, we aimed to create an inclusive platform that empowers both students and teachers—using only free and open-source technologies.
