---

UI/UX design: https://creatie.ai/goto/GvDCPfjA?page_id=M&file=147801565558502

---

Which problem is your project solving?

• Problem: The lack of engaging, interactive ways to learn and practice technical skills like React, JavaScript, Python, etc.
• Importance: Traditional learning methods can feel monotonous, failing to engage learners and sustain motivation, especially in a competitive or self-paced environment.

---

What are the existing similar solutions?

• Solutions: Platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, Codecademy, and Kahoot.
• Strengths: Offer structured coding challenges, learning paths, and large user bases.
• Weaknesses: Limited gamification, lack of interactive games, and insufficient focus on engaging multiple learning styles.

---

How do you want to solve it?

• Combine gamification with technical learning through quizzes, puzzles, multiplayer games, and daily challenges.
• Focus on making learning fun and interactive while providing variety to keep users engaged.
