Access to quality educational materials is essential for effective learning. However, many students and teachers face challenges finding reliable and affordable resources. To solve this problem, we propose the development of a subscription-based digital marketplace where educators can upload and share their teaching materials, and learners can access them through low-cost subscription plans.

The purpose of this project is to create a centralized online platform that connects educators and learners. It will provide easy access to e-books, lecture notes, presentations, and video lessons, making learning more flexible, affordable, and efficient.
Project Objectives:
- To design and develop a user-friendly web and mobile platform.
