Inspiration
We got inspired by YearUp to extend mentor-mentee match beyond technical skills. Connection that would be based not only on the career path and technical skills, but also on personal interests that would allow the connection last.
What it does
It takes the information of the student and if the student is interest in mentoring --suggests a few close matches.
How we built it
We used JS, Java, Python, and HTML+CSS to build our platform
Challenges we ran into
Skillset challenges
Accomplishments that we're proud of
if we make an MVP it would be great Update: have an MVP meeting all of out self stated requirements for this project
What we learned
We learned how to come up with a solution and deliver it in the minimal vital format with given time restrictions. Hands on experience.
What's next for YearUp
We designed our system in a way that different parts of it could be enhanced and refactored easily. In coming future YearUp wuold
- get a database (such firebase)
- get a nice slick UI
- improve matching algorithm to become even more sensitive
- improve the recommendation search using context filtering
- fuzzy search
- show list of students to mentor who is looking for mentees
