Open education. Interactive learning. Built by students, for Students.

IlliniOpenEdu is a student-driven initiative focused on building modern, interactive educational tools that actually make sense.

We replace:

• ❌ Static PDFs
• ❌ Outdated simulations
• ❌ Memorization-heavy learning

With:

• ✅ Interactive experiences
• ✅ Visual intuition
• ✅ Clean, modern UI

A browser-based physics simulation platform built with React + TypeScript + Tailwind

Core idea: Turn physics into something you can play with, not just study.

• 📦 Mechanics simulations (forces, motion, energy)
• ⚡ Electromagnetism simulations (fields, circuits)
• 🏗️ Statics tools (beams, supports, reactions)
• 🧪 Virtual labs (IOLab-inspired)
• 🧑‍🏫 Professor Mode for guided teaching

• Frontend: React + TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Animation: Framer Motion
• Deployment: GitHub Pages (static)

• Learning should be interactive
• Visuals > equations (at first)
• Simplicity > feature overload
• Fast > overengineered

• Bryan Chen — UX / Frontend / Systems
• Evan Doubek — Physics / Content

Make tools that:

• Students actually use
• Professors actually recommend
• Feel like real software, not school tools
