Campus-Scale SkillShare Platform

 

The Problem: You know how we all have that one friend who's a coding whiz, or another who's a pro at making killer presentations, or maybe someone who's a beast at video editing? The problem is, there's no easy way to find them when you actually need their help. You end up either paying a bomb for outside services or just giving up on a project because you can't find the right person. This leads to so many missed opportunities. Our campus is full of talent, but it's all scattered.

 

The Solution: Imagine an app just for our university called "UniSkill." It's like our own private marketplace. You can create a profile listing your skills—like "Python programming for projects," "graphic design for club events," or "tutor for ECE subjects." If you need something, you can just search for it. Need someone to help with a logo for your startup idea? Just search "logo design" and find a fellow student who can do it for a reasonable rate. The app would have:

 

Skill Tags: So you can find exactly what you're looking for, fast.

 

Project Listings: You can post what you need and let people bid on it.

 

Ratings & Reviews: To make sure everyone is legit and to build trust.

 

Who Benefits:

 

Students with Skills: They can finally earn some extra pocket money and get real-world experience. It's like having a part-time job without ever leaving campus.

 

Students Needing Help: No more running around in circles. You get affordable, reliable help from someone you can trust, right here on campus.

 

The University: It makes our community stronger and helps us all learn from each other.

 

Why it Matters to Me: I’ve seen my friends and me struggle with this. We have great ideas but often lack one or two skills to bring them to life. This platform would not just be about money; it would be about helping each other out and making the most of the talent around us.

  • The concept is solid. To really get this off the ground, a pilot program with a specific department (like computer science or the art department) could be a great way to test the features and get initial feedback before a full-scale launch.
  • UniSkill empowers students to connect, collaborate, and monetize their skills—unlocking campus talent and fostering real innovation.
  • Centralizing everyone's skills and project listings will save time, grow the campus network, and unlock so many new opportunities for learning and teamwork
  • This Idea shows the strength networking and let's students network within themselves, Meeting people , based on our interests and more than that getting in touch and creating stuff for the future is the best part .
  • This idea hits a very real gap on campus—students often need help but don’t know who to ask.
    I like how you framed the problem using relatable examples like coding, design, and editing.
    The marketplace approach with skill tags and project listings makes it very practical.
    Ratings and reviews add accountability, which is crucial for trust.
    It creates a win-win: skilled students earn, and others get affordable help.
    The focus on collaboration instead of just money gives it a community feel.
    I can see this strengthening campus innovation and reducing dependency on outside services.
    Overall, UniSkill has strong potential to unlock hidden talent and make student life easier.
  • I appreciate the focus on students earning money and gaining real-world experience. You could partner with university departments or career services to help promote the platform and even offer workshops on how to create a compelling profile.
  • This is such a practical idea campuses are literally mini talent hubs, but most of it goes unnoticed. UniSkill could really turn hidden skills into opportunities. Maybe you could also add a feature for quick collabs like 2–3 people teaming up for short projects
  • This is a great starting point. To make it more organized, maybe you could categorize the skills further than just tags. For example, have a main category like "Programming" and then subcategories like "Python," "JavaScript," and "Java." This could make searching much more efficient.
  • I love the idea of a central hub for skills. To make this even more useful, consider adding a "project portfolio" feature where students can upload examples of their work. This would give potential clients a much clearer picture of their skills beyond just a text description.
  • This platform could be a huge benefit for students. Have you considered how you'll handle payment and disputes? A secure payment system, perhaps with an escrow-like function, could build trust and protect both parties.
