Inspiration

Learning Python as a beginner can be confusing and overwhelming. We wanted to create an app that teaches Python entirely through AI, removing the need for manual content creation or hardcoded quizzes. Using Gemini AI, our goal was to provide interactive quizzes, real-time code feedback, and clear explanations — all dynamically generated.

What it does

How we built it

We built PyJump entirely using Gemini AI, creating a fully dynamic Python learning experience with no pre-coded quizzes or static content. All quizzes, explanations, code feedback, and gamified interactions are generated on-the-fly by Gemini AI, making each user’s learning path unique. We focused on designing prompts carefully so the AI produces beginner-friendly, engaging content, while our UI teammate created a polished, interactive interface with gamification elements like AI Rivals, leaderboards, and Duo-style buttons. The result is a fully functional prototype where all content is AI-generated in real time, providing an infinite, interactive Python curriculum without relying on traditional databases or manual content creation.

Challenges we ran into

Time constraints: With only 1 hour, we had to deliver a fully AI-powered experience.

Technical limitations: My laptop couldn’t run Dart/Flutter, so I had to create the Gemini module independently for integration.

Prompt design: Crafting prompts that generated meaningful, beginner-friendly Python quizzes and explanations required multiple iterations.

Keeping the experience engaging: Ensuring the AI output felt interactive, accurate, and motivating for users was tricky without a traditional database.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Fully AI-powered learning experience: All quizzes, code feedback, and explanations are dynamically generated.

Gamified features: AI Rivals leaderboard and Duo-style UI make learning fun and engaging.

Accessibility: Native audio explanations ensure auditory learners are included.

Real-world relevance: Every question includes practical insights showing how Python concepts are used in industry.

Rapid collaboration: Despite being a beginner-heavy team, we delivered a working prototype in 10 hours.

What we learned

How to leverage AI as the core engine of an educational app.

The importance of modular design: building the Gemini module separately allowed smooth integration with the UI.

How to craft effective prompts to guide AI output for quizzes, code reviews, and explanations.

Team collaboration under pressure: balancing UI design, AI integration, and testing in parallel.

The value of user-centered design even in a hackathon — gamification and context make learning meaningful.

What's next for PyJump

Gamification expansion: Add points, badges, levels, and streak-based challenges.

Adaptive learning: AI adjusts quiz difficulty and feedback based on the user’s skill.

Interactive code sandbox: Allow users to run Python code directly in the app with instant AI suggestions.

Multi-language support: Expand beyond Python to other beginner-friendly programming languages.

Community features: Enable sharing results and AI-generated challenges with friends or AI Rivals globally.
