Gamifying The Constitution

Installation

To get the project up and running, you'll need to set up three components: the client, the server, and the Flask server. Note: Each component should be run in a separate terminal instance within your IDE (e.g., VSCode).

1. Client

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the client directory:

   cd client

2. Install the required npm packages:

   npm install

3. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

2. Server

1. Open a new terminal and navigate to the server directory:

   cd server

2. Install the necessary npm packages:

   npm install

3. Start the server:

   npm start

3. Flask Server

1. Open another terminal and navigate to the server/genui directory:

   cd server/genai

2. Set up a Python virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows:

     .venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS/Linux:

     source .venv/bin/activate

4. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Create a .env file in the same directory and add your Gemini API key to it. ( use the provided .env.template & rename it to .env)

6. Start the Flask server:

   python flaskserver.py

By following these steps, you should have all components of the project running locally. If you encounter any issues, make sure to check the individual component's logs for error messages.

Overview

Our hackathon project, Gamifying The Constitution, aims to revolutionize the teaching of the Indian Constitution by transforming it into an engaging and interactive learning experience through innovative games. By leveraging gamification techniques, we present the core principles and articles of the Constitution in a way that is both enjoyable and educational.

The Challenge

The Indian Constitution is essential for understanding citizens' rights and duties but is often seen as complex and intimidating, especially for younger audiences and those without a legal background. Traditional educational methods can be uninspiring, leading to limited awareness and comprehension.

Our Solution

We address this challenge by converting key concepts of the Constitution into interactive and entertaining game formats such as quizzes, board games, and challenges. Our gamified approach simplifies complex legal concepts, making them more accessible and enjoyable. By actively engaging users, we aim to enhance information retention and foster a deeper understanding of constitutional principles.

Challenges and Insights

Developing a dynamic and educational gamified platform involved overcoming several challenges, including:

• Integrating diverse game formats
• Ensuring accurate and engaging content
• Designing an intuitive user interface

Through effective teamwork, thorough research, and iterative development, we successfully navigated these obstacles. This project provided valuable insights into user-centered design, the power of gamification in education, and the importance of clear communication in complex subject matter.
