The problem EduAbled solves

Students with disabilities, especially those interested in the STEM fields, have less access to quality educational and career-building opportunities than their typically-abled peers, and the EduAbled platform aims to rectify this. The platform's primary goal is to help educators close the achievement gap for students with special needs by making available digital tutoring resources and digital course materials. Education is made more available to pupils of varying requirements thanks to the platform's emphasis on a more interactive and personalised learning experience.

Using text-to-speech, voice navigation, and a rewards system, the EduAbled platform makes learning STEM subjects engaging and motivating for youngsters with special needs. The platform's primary goal is to improve students' academic performance by fostering more fruitful interactions between students and teachers. The platform's reliability and consistency are guaranteed by the integration of Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and Firebase, as well as by robust mechanisms for handling errors and testing the code. All things considered, the EduAbled platform has the potential to greatly benefit students with disabilities.

Challenges we ran into

It wasn't easy to create the EduAbled platform for people with disabilities. Creating a comfortable interface that could be used by both educators and students was a major challenge. The platform had to be accessible, user-friendly, and interesting enough to hold the attention of kids with a wide range of impairments. Text-to-speech and voice navigation were also added, however these required significant testing to assure compatibility with all devices and operating systems.

An additional difficulty is enforcing the reward system in a way that would encourage students to finish their videos while also being fair and equitable. The system we came up with had to take into account the unique challenges presented by kids with various impairments and not discriminate against any group.
