The Problem:
Students want to learn new skills outside academics—coding, design, music, photography, fitness, and more—but face barriers. Online courses and coaching centers are expensive, impersonal, and not always relevant. Meanwhile, many students already have valuable skills but lack a structured way to share them. This leads to missed opportunities for affordable, peer-driven learning within campus communities.
Current Market Gaps:
Online platforms (Coursera, Udemy, etc.) are costly and lack personalization.
Peer-to-peer learning on campus is informal, limited to friend circles, and unstructured.
No credit or reward system exists to fairly exchange teaching and learning time.
My Solution: SkillShare Campus
A peer-to-peer skill-sharing platform where students can teach what they know and learn what they need using a credit-based system. Each hour spent teaching earns credits that can be spent to learn from others. The platform works as a web or mobile app, linked to student IDs for security, with features for scheduling, feedback, and skill discovery.
Who Benefits:
Students: Affordable access to diverse skills, personalized learning, confidence from teaching.
University community: Cross-branch networking, stronger collaboration, and a culture of knowledge sharing.
Long-term: Prepares students with real-world, interdisciplinary skills at no extra financial burden.
Why This Matters:
I have seen classmates struggle to afford courses while others with great skills never get recognized. This mismatch wastes potential. A structured, campus-specific platform ensures fairness, accessibility, and empowerment by turning every student into both a teacher and learner.
Technical Approach:
Web/mobile app tied to student IDs for verification.
Credit-based economy with built-in reputation scores.
Secure scheduling and chat for coordination.
Feedback system to maintain quality of sessions.
Market Opportunity:
Universities worldwide seek affordable skill-development tools for students. Unlike EdTech giants, this model is community-driven and low-cost, with scalability across campuses. It transforms universities into living learning hubs where peer knowledge exchange is the norm.
