About the Project

What is the name of your project? Project Sharing Website.

Description of Project A website where kids can share their projects created using various sugar activities and also work on them collaboratively. The website will foster collaboration and provide a platform where students can showcase their work and learn from others work. Students receive appreciation and feedback for their work from their peers, parent and teachers. Teachers can create "private classroom spaces".

Web2py/Python framework for the backend. Web2py mainly because it is python framework, provides security for common vulnerabilities, supports multiple protocols required for this project. It follows model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, provides testing and version controlling tools to make the workflow easier. Most of the frontend development can be done using HTML, CSS3 and jQuery in web2py, but if requirement is high then I may use bootstrap to get the work done quickly. API’s to interact with sugar activities.

Features: • A simple GUI which is both attractive and intuitive from children’s perspective. • Kids o Can share projects and galleries with others. o Can create galleries based on activity, category, difficulty of projects it has etc. o Can add other’s project to their gallery and start improving. o Can add friends and teachers. o Can receive feed from friends and teachers. o Can browse all projects, featured projects, recent projects, similar projects etc. o Can share projects with friends for collaborative work. • Teachers o Can share projects and galleries with others. o Can create private class rooms and add students to it. o Can browse all projects, featured projects, recent projects etc. o Can receive the feed from the students to know their progress. • Other social features like liking, commenting, giving feedback are available. • Private class rooms will have features like chat, collaborative environment. • Multi-Language Support • Separate Landing page for Parents. • Project can be viewed as video, audio, photo stream etc. Every project has description and few related tags. • Projects can be posted from sugar activities also. • Login using sugar account/ other accounts (google etc.). • Integration with social networks is also available to help share projects on social networks also. • Forums are available to discuss about a project.

My work I am 3rd year undergraduate pursuing bachelors in computer science at International Institute of Information technology, Hyderabad. I have been developing many application and been part of many projects in these three years. I have been part of technical team of annual technical fest of our university (felicity.iiit.ac.in). The work of technical team involved building portals for many online events and also a chat bot which answers question related to fest. I have been built a web application to automate the course and exam timetable of our university. Also been a part of project to build the course management portal for our institute ( yet to be deployed). I have started using web2py recently and started building a small app imitating e-commerce portals having search by category mechanism and shopping cart. Also created a music library using web2py Currently I am working on a strategy game to help high school students understand concepts of social, political, economic decision making creating an environment similar ( in related aspects) to the current society. I have also developed some other applications as part of course work like ‘temple run’ like game, multi -threaded proxy server, basic functionalities of opengl pipeline, mini-sql engine which can perform basic sql operations.
