Description:

FnPlus's mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Our goal is to problems of a learner like streamlining online learning, lack of motivation in doing courses, showcasing technical and 21-st century skills using our self-paced, gamified, community-driven platform.

  • Learn using a curated list of customized resources for you.
  • Share what you learn with others in the community.
  • Jam together on problems and solutions in meetups.
  • Create something you’re proud of with projects.
  • Work with startups/enterprises and get hired!

We represent the cult of fn+geeks here in Chennai and would like to have an opportunity to showcase our journey, our highlights, what we've accomplished. We would like to attract people towards this open-source organization and to spread the cult of lifelong learners.

We would like to showcase one of our open-source project which helps learners discover, share and contribute their online learning journey. The platform uses recommendation engines to suggest new content to learn to based on the user's preferences. We call this platform footsteps since it allows a learner to follow the footsteps of their mentor/teacher.

Speaker Info:

Hi, I'm Abhishek, a problem solver & a lifelong learner with the goal to improve the things I make and do. I'm a recent undergraduate from SRM University and have been involved with the product development of FnPlus. One of the things that I'm passionate about is transforming the education system using pedagogies like project-based and experiential learning. From an early age, I've hated the formal way of teaching since it discouraged my natural curiosity at a fundamental level.

FnPlus Tech, an ed-tech startup is helping students be curious and be the best version of themselves in the domain of Technology.
