The problem FinLearn solves

Creating a finance education awareness website with personalized roadmaps and curated content can be a powerful way to empower users with financial knowledge. Here's a structured approach you can take for your project:

Define Objectives and Target Audience:

Clearly define the objectives of your website. What do you aim to achieve with it? Is it to improve financial literacy, help users manage their finances better, or something else?
Identify your target audience. Are you focusing on students, young professionals, families, or specific demographic groups?
Research and Planning:

Conduct thorough research on financial education resources, including reputable websites, books, courses, and podcasts.
Identify common financial topics and skills that your target audience needs to learn about, such as budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.
Develop a roadmap or curriculum outlining the sequential learning path for users, starting from basic financial concepts to more advanced topics.
Design and Development:

Design an intuitive and user-friendly website layout that facilitates easy navigation and access to resources.
Implement features for personalization, such as user profiles, assessments, and progress tracking.
Develop a content management system (CMS) for organizing and delivering curated content, including articles, videos, infographics, and audio resources.
Integrate multimedia elements such as videos and audio recordings to enhance user engagement and comprehension.
Content Creation and Curation:

Create high-quality educational content tailored to your target audience's needs and skill levels. This could include beginner-friendly guides, interactive tutorials, case studies, and expert interviews.
Curate external resources from reputable sources to supplement your own content and provide users with a comprehensive learning experience.

Challenges we ran into

Responsive Design:
Ensuring that the platform is accessible and user-friendly across various devices and screen sizes can be challenging. Bootstrap provides a grid system to help with responsiveness, but fine-tuning layouts and UI elements for different screen sizes may require additional effort.

Approach: Regularly test the platform on different devices and screen sizes to identify and fix layout issues. Utilize Bootstrap's responsive utilities and media queries effectively.

Content Management: Managing and updating educational content on the platform efficiently can be a challenge, especially as the platform grows and evolves.

Approach: We utilized version control systems to track changes and collaborate on content updates effectively.

Browser Compatibility: Ensuring cross-browser compatibility can be challenging, as different browsers may interpret HTML, CSS, and JavaScript differently.

Approach: Test the platform on multiple browsers and devices to identify and address compatibility issues. Use polyfills or fallbacks for features not supported in certain browsers. Stay updated on browser trends and standards to anticipate and mitigate compatibility issues proactively.

Authenticating the platform for collaboration with experienced economists poses credibility issues. Solutions include forming partnerships with reputable institutions, implementing credential verification, peer review processes, transparent attribution, user feedback mechanisms, and seeking public endorsements to establish trust and attract collaborators.
