The increasing dependence on digital communication means that an integrated, centralized academic collaboration platform is necessary. In traditional academic environments, the students and faculty often employ disparate communication outlets such as emails, messaging applications, or social media, resulting in fragmented communication and diminishing collaborative learning. Huddle Space is designed as a robust full-stack, web-based academic communication system designed to consolidate and improve communication within educational organizations. The platform is purposefully practiced to engage with academic discourse, facilitate knowledge sharing, and establish an interactive environment akin to traditional discursive intellectual interactions found in an academic classroomHuddle Space is based on a solid technological stack leveraging React.js for front-end, Spring Boot for back-end, and MongoDB for data storage capabilities, providing a modular and scalable architecture designed to support an expanding community of users.The goal of Huddle Space is to create a user-friendly virtual ecosystem that is secure, scalable, and built on a single application that fosters critical-thinking, ongoing learning, and collective problem solving outside of physical classroom spaces.
