Abstract- StudyBay serves as a pioneering digital educational platform which helps different learner populations develop skills
while accessing knowledge. The platform combines specific resource recommendation along with customizable educational
pathways and selected materials from experts while supporting learners to work together through shared tools. This system
incorporates four major components: a User Dashboard that allows users to view progress and handle course administration
while also featuring a Resource Hub for educational material retrieval and Collaboration Spaces for peer engagement
alongside a forthcoming AI-powered Recommendation Engine that suggests personalized content. The system implements
basic accessibility functions attached to user-friendly features alongside forthcoming development efforts that aim to embed AI
functionality for advanced personalization of learning content. The user interface runs on React web technologies while
Node.js manages the backend operations through PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases for maintaining solid data
management. StudyBay wants to spread education opportunities to every student so learning gaps between communities can
disappear while providing perpetual skill growth opportunities.

StudyBay runs as a Proof of Concept right now with client-

side data storage handling specific features but functions as an
essential building block. As an educational solution it
demonstrates potential for advancement into a significant
digital system which supports active learning development
alongside developed interactions between educational
community members.

StudyBay's future development creates multiple opportunities

for its enhancement and refinement. Key areas include:

 Robust Backend Infrastructure: The system needs to

build a safe infrastructure that can store user data and
course content while managing progress tracking in a way
that promotes scalability as well as data durability and
integrity.
