Projects

  1. CodePeer

    Check it out!

    CodePeer is a tool which assists collaboration between both students and tutors in computer science through a synchronized code sharing and chatting application.

    Having seen in person the hectic office hours for the introduction class to computer science at Harvard, CS50, which enrolls 600+ students a year, I decided there must be a better way to allow tutors and peer teaching fellows to assist students. Instead of raising your hand for an hour while waiting to get help, why not bring office hours online? This is where CodePeer comes into play. Originally intended for tutors to help students with tough assignments, CodePeer is now a tool that allows collaboration between any number of users.
