Design & Solution

Challenges Addressed

There are many IT students and self-taught developers without adequate exposure to real-world projects or teamwork experiences, which leaves them unprepared for industry demands.

Limited industry exposure for students
Lack of real-time coding platforms
Difficulty finding mentors and peer collaborators
Lack of access to collaborative development environments
No centralized platform to build developer portfolios

ForgeX aims to remove these barriers by integrating learning, real-time collaboration, and matchmaking on a single platform.

Our Solution

ForgeX combines learning modules, team-based project work, and real-time collaboration to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Its system recommends teammates, mentors, and projects based on users' skill sets and learning goals, ensuring a personalized and productive experience.

Use Case: From Learner to Team Lead

A user joins ForgeX as a student, completes a few learning paths, collaborates on small projects, and eventually leads a team to build a capstone project—all within the same platform.

Prototype Development

Our Development Journey

Our prototype represents the core functionality of ForgeX, focusing on the most critical features that address the primary challenges faced by developers and students. We prioritized real-time collaboration, AI-powered matchmaking, and an intuitive learning interface.

Key Prototype Features:

Real-time collaborative code editor with Monaco Editor
AI-powered team matching based on skills and goals
Interactive learning modules with progress tracking
Project management dashboard with task allocation
Integrated communication system for seamless collaboration

These features were selected as they form the foundation of effective developer collaboration and learning. The prototype validates our core hypothesis that combining education with practical project experience accelerates skill development.
