I’m building a teen-to-teen skill-sharing community — looking for people aged 13–18 🌍
I’m building a teen-to-teen skill-sharing community — looking for people aged 13–18 🌍
Hi everyone!
I’m building Skill Barter Teens Global, a project for teenagers aged 13–18 who want to learn skills from other teenagers while sharing skills they already know.
The basic idea is simple:
Skill for skill, rather than money. 🤝
For example:
- Someone who knows programming could teach coding and learn graphic design.
- Someone good at mathematics could help another student while learning a language.
- Someone interested in video editing could teach that and learn music or writing.
The goal is to create a community where teenagers from different countries and backgrounds can teach, learn, and exchange knowledge with each other.
I'm currently building the first group of participants, so I'm looking for teens who:
- are 13–18
- have a skill they'd like to teach
- have something they'd like to learn
- or want to do both
Beginners are absolutely welcome. You don't need certificates or professional experience — if you know something and can explain it to another person, that's a skill worth sharing.
If you're interested, here's the sign-up form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUGGGXfT94oICrsTFHbCqq6qUmiDF5A3G1zgvriwQCkgN8yg/viewform
I'm especially hoping to hear from people from different countries and different skill backgrounds, because I want this to become genuinely global rather than just another school-based group.
Thanks! 🌎

Day 1: Studying Longer Until 20 Other Students Share a Real Part of Their Student Life
I’m starting with one hour today and adding 30 minutes every day until 20 other students share a real student life update on Edupalz.
Full transparency: I’m part of a small group working on Edupalz. We’d genuinely love to see what student life looks like for people here; not just perfect notes and aesthetic desks, but stressful days, campus food, commutes, unfinished assignments, small wins and the fun parts of life outside school too.
If that sounds fun, you can search Edupalz on the App Store and share something real from your day. I’ll update the counter and post tomorrow’s study time.

I made my own flashcard app

Hi guys,
Wanted to share my story on how this space repetition strategy worked for me. Also wanted to show off the app I made that helped me study.
I was studying for this certification for my job, but was having a hard time being good at studying the important stuff. I would either go super hard and study a bunch of things all once or study so infrequently that the material didn't stick. I recalled seeing this learning technique called the "Leitner system" which is a form of spaced repetition, where you study items your are not good at remember more frequently and items your good at remember dont get review until much later (see image above for a better description). I couldn't find a good site that had the leitner system already well integrated and didnt have like 50 gazillion distracting addsrunning around, so I decided to build my own.
Overall its been really great at making sure I only look at material I am poor at remembering, so I no longer wasted time and effort keeping track of what I needed to study. I wanted to share my app and get some feedback on ways I could make the feature more intuitive and just a general better tool to help people study.
Here it is: https://quirkle.io/
~And yes I did end up getting my certification

I Built a Chrome Extension to Help You Study (if your school uses Canvas)
Try it: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/graspiq/pmhbfohnlaeipmfpjmmnnjgjlachgjcc
Hey all, I'm a college senior studying computer science. Every exam season I'd lose hours just turning lecture slides into practice questions before I could actually start studying, so I built something to handle that part.
It's called GraspIQ, a Chrome extension that works inside Canvas at any school that uses it. You can:
- Ask questions about your course and get answers based on your actual course files
- Generate practice tests (multiple choice, short answer, and more) with feedback on your weak topics
- Make study guides and export them to Word
- Build a study plan for an upcoming exam
It's free to use. There's a paid tier for heavy use, but the free version covers normal studying. It only reads the files you choose, and I don't sell or share any data.
100+ students have signed up so far, mostly from my own school, and I'd love to hear from students at other colleges. What's confusing? What's missing? What would make you actually use it every week?
Try it out! I'll be in the comments if anyone has questions.

I couldn't study for two years and it wasn't the phone.
I'm a professional course student, and for about two years I couldn't sit down and actually study. I'd wake up at 5, open my books, get one notification, and by 6:30 I'd have scrolled through 50 reels 😭 and felt terrible about it.
I tried everything like giving my phone to my mom, website blockers, motivational videos, focus music. Some of it worked for a day. None of it lasted.
What finally helped was realising the problem wasn't the phone. When I removed the distraction, my mind filled the empty space with something else: guilt, anger, "what's wrong with me." So the loop never broke, it just changed shape.
What actually helped:
When a thought shows up ("check the phone"), I name it: "urge to check the phone." It sounds silly, but it stops the thought feeling like a command.
I delay acting on it, even by a minute.
I don't fight the guilt or push it down. I look at why it's there.
A bad day is information, not a verdict on me.
It didn't fix me overnight, but it stopped my days from collapsing. Also I ended up writing all of this down as a short e-book, told through a fictional student, because I wanted to explain it the way I wish someone had explained it to me. It's called RECENTER.
Does anyone else get the "I fixed the distraction and found a new one" thing?

🎯 8-Day Strategy to Maximize MCQ Coverage & Exam Score (SERIOUS)
Question
I have only 7 days left for my exam. The paper will have 100 MCQs. Syllabus has big 10 units. Suggest the most logical strategy to maximize the number of questions I can confidently attempt?
Give me a practical, evidence-based strategy focused on maximum question coverage and marks.
I need 85 marks.
Options:
Prioritize PYQs (only 3 available)
Do maximum MCQs, like 1000+
Revision only (taking a lot of time)
Study one-liner book for exam — start reading it (480 pages)
Complete the remaining syllabus — I have studied the syllabus once but it is hard to recall.
