Campus Skill-Share Platform

Many students on campus have unique skills—coding, graphic design, public speaking, photography, or even cooking—but there is no structured way to share and learn from one another. At the same time, students often spend money on external courses or struggle to find mentorship within the university. The problem isn’t lack of talent; it’s the lack of a platform to connect skills with learners.

The solution is a Campus Skill-Share Platform, a web and mobile application where students can list the skills they’re willing to teach, along with availability, format (online/offline), and level (beginner/intermediate/advanced). Others can request sessions, join workshops, or collaborate on projects. The platform could use a simple credit system—students earn credits by teaching and use them to learn other skills—ensuring fairness without involving money.

Existing solutions like Coursera or YouTube tutorials don’t create the same peer-to-peer, trust-based, and local community learning experience. By leveraging students’ expertise, the platform fills a unique gap that external platforms cannot provide.

The main beneficiaries are students themselves—learners who want affordable, personalized learning and teachers who want recognition and practice in sharing knowledge. Over time, this could extend to alumni and industry experts, building a larger knowledge-sharing ecosystem.

This idea matters to me because I’ve seen classmates struggle with topics I was comfortable with, while I also wished I could learn skills like video editing from peers. Creating a structured platform ensures no skill goes wasted and every student benefits from the diverse talent pool within the university.
