    Big brains

    No matter which educational sector you belong to, from time to time, every student encounters divergent problems and the only option they have other than the institute is to look them up on the internet. Sometimes they do find the solution to their problem and sometimes they don’t and when it comes to subjects like chemistry, biology, linguistics, there’s a slight chance that they can get help most of the time, they don’t get the required help they are looking for. Sometimes they have to pay for something that isn’t that much worth of work. We've all been there in our lives, and, more importantly, there is no such platform that is subject-categorized and assists students at no cost. Several platforms are dedicated to a single subject sector. Such subjects include computer science, mathematics, and a few others, but there’s no collective resource network for a student that highlights subjects like biology, chemistry, linguistics, etc. Furthermore, sometimes users create multiple questions with the same answer, and sometimes the question is already answered but the student is unable to find it, so he/she posts it again, which is bad for both the student and the system. The proposed solution "Big-Brains" will provide a cost-free tribune that will allow the questioner to post his/her question or to share insightful ideas, resources, or his/her exploration related to the concerned subject. Big-Brains is not just dedicated to a single subject. The mission of the Big-Brains is to cover the maximum subject group so that a questioner doesn’t have to wander to other internet resources to find the solution to his/her problem. At Big-Brains, not only do students help each other out, but industrial and educational professionals will strive hard to help the questioner to find the solution. As in this current year, we have seen a steep incline towards the online education system. At this point, Big-Brains is a light bringer for students.
