The app allows students to provide live feedback to their professors on various aspects of the lecture, such as the volume and pace. Professors, on the other hand, get an opportunity to receive live feedback on their teaching style and also give students a few warm-up exercises with a built-in clicker functionality. Students receive live transcripts of what the professor is currently saying, along with a summary at the end of the lecture which includes key points. The backend will also generate further reading material based on keywords from the lecture.

I worked on this in a team of 4 at the PennApps XVII hackathon, and we won the award for best Education Hack. I did full stack work on this project, writing front-end React code as well as custom Python modules to facilitate the client-server interaction.
