Inspiration
Memory athletes retain large amounts of information using mnemonics, story-telling, and visualizations. Picture Pathway aims to emulate this studying methodology and bring it into the classroom!
What it does
Picture Pathway is a student-teacher platform. Teachers submit the problem they would like their class to visualize and/or convert into a story. From there, the student describes a scene to DALL-E and then receives a generated image to add to their story on solving their assigned problems
In our example, a teacher is looking to solidify the process of Integration for her students; thus, they have assigned a series of steps to 'storify'. The text contained in yellow represents what a student user's responses might look like (and our last slide demonstrates what the corresponding image output may be).
How we built it
-Front-End: Repl.it - HTML, Javascript -Back-End: Python (Jango), SQLite
Challenges we ran into
-Most of our members are just beginning their coding journey so there was certainly a learning curve! -The integration of Dall-E API was especially uncharted territory for our team and required much research to implement -Debugging(πーπ)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team is most proud of our ability to riff off each other--- most of us met for the first time just Friday, yet we trusted one another to perform our assigned roles and successfully worked our way from 0 to a working prototype
What we learned
-3/4 members learned Django + SQL for the first time! -APIs can interact on the backend (what enabled us to pull images from Dall-E to embed into our project!)
What's next for Picture Pathway
-All our members are passionate about accessibility in STEM education
