KeyRacer – A Learning & Practice Platform (By Students, For Students)

Hi everyone :wave:,

I’m working on a student-driven project called KeyRacer. The idea came from a simple observation:
:point_right: Watching tutorials or courses alone doesn’t give you the real company-like experience. Most students never get to learn teamwork, task assignments, deadlines, and collaborative work before stepping into internships or jobs.

With KeyRacer, we’re trying to solve this.

:dart: Our Vision

  • Create a virtual office environment where students can learn teamwork.
  • Even if someone is a beginner (e.g., doesn’t know HTML), they’ll be assigned simple tasks like “change the footer text” or “update a name”.
  • This way, they don’t just learn skills but also experience working in a team with deadlines.
  • Later, they can show companies: “I have worked in a team, delivered tasks, and have real experience”.

:hammer_and_wrench: What We Have Right Now

Typing Test & Code Racer** → Improve speed + coding accuracy
Professional Skills Section** → Resume prep, emails, communication basics
Hackathon Management Platform** → Organize events easily

:rocket: What’s Coming Next

  • Reasoning & Aptitude practice
  • AI-based summarization for complex documents/articles
  • Roadmap Chatbot → Guides students on what skills to learn (from start → to job-ready)
  • More skill-based championships with leaderboards + prize money

:trophy: Community Engagement

We’re planning Hackathons, Typing Championships, and Coding Championships**.
Winners → leaderboard recognition + prize money.

:bulb: Why We’re Sharing Here

We’d love to get feedback, ideas, and contributors from the FOSS community.
The goal is to make KeyRacer not just a website, but a student workplace simulation – a bridge between learning and actual company work.

Looking forward to your thoughts :raised_hands:

Thanks,
