Overview:

The problem: College students struggling to find mentors and peers who wish to reach out and learn certain interests but don’t know how to. Missed opportunities for skill development.

The solution: SkillSwap is an online platform designed to connect students who want to learn new skills with those who are already proficient in those skills. Whether you’re a high school student exploring different career paths or a college student looking to expand your expertise, SkillSwap provides a dynamic environment for knowledge exchange and mentorship.

Approach:

Possible Pages: Potential pages for SkillSwap will include:

• Landing page: SkillSwap Homepage to include overview, contacts info, FAQ’s
• User profile page: Displays user picture, bio, skills, interests. etc.
• Browsing page: Displays profile cards with basic info of users
• Admin page: Manage and moderate website
• Log in/Sign up page: Where user can either log in or create a new account
• Chat: Where matches can contact each other

Case Ideas:

• Skill Matching Algorithm
• Profile Creation
• Skill-Based Search
• Event Hosting

Beyond the Basics:

• Progress tracking: Diplayed progress bar that tracks user’s total completed lessons
• User Achievements: Users obtain achievement badges based on progress bar completion
• Feedback and ratings: Users receive both a feedback and rating after each lesson which then contributes to a displayed overall average rating on profile
