🚀 What is Beyond Syllabus?

Beyond Syllabus is the front-end interface for the open-source WikiSyllabus repository — a platform that transforms any syllabus into an interactive AI-powered learning companion.

It’s like ChatGPT for your syllabus — but built with purpose.
Designed for students, teachers, and lifelong learners, it answers deeper questions such as:

• Why am I learning this?
• Where can it be applied in the real world?
• Explain it with relatable examples.
• What opportunities exist in this field?
• Which industries and innovations connect to it?
• How is it evolving in the AI-powered world?

With Beyond Syllabus, learning becomes context-rich, curiosity-driven, and future-focused.

💡 Why We Exist

Too many students fall into the trap of skip-learning — cramming only what’s needed for the exam and forgetting it all afterwards. This creates:

❌ Weak conceptual foundations
❌ No ability to connect knowledge across subjects
❌ Poor readiness for AI-driven careers

We’re building a movement against rote memorisation and closed-book examinations.
Our vision is a world where:

✅ Students ask better questions
✅ Teachers inspire understanding, not just coverage
✅ Learning connects to industry, innovation, and purpose

🏃‍♂️ Run Locally

You can set up Beyond Syllabus on your local machine for development or testing. Follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/The-Purple-Movement/Beyond-Syllabus.git
cd Beyond-Syllabus

2. Install Dependencies

Make sure you have Node.js (v16+) and npm or yarn installed.

# Using npm
npm install

yarn install

3. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory and add the required keys, for example:

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:9002
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here

Replace your_gemini_api_key_here with your own OpenAI API key if using the AI features.

4. Start the Development Server

# Using npm
npm run dev

# Or using yarn
yarn dev

The app should now be running at http://localhost:3000.

5. Build for Production (Optional)
