The Hacking Project Bootcamp Final Project Presentation
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to check us out ^^
The following is our final project presentation for what we believe is an amazing idea.
We truly hope that this presentation will create in you the desire to follow us in crafting an amazing solution
to one of the greatest problems ever encountered by students, specially in the actual health crisis: STUDENT LOANS!
https://ludee-org.herokuapp.com
Following a study by l'Unef and l'Observatoire National de la Vie Etudiante, there is between 200 and 300 thousands students that seeks a student loan to finance their post-bac studies. This amounts to about 10% of the student population of the country.
Adding to that the current economic crisis due to the pandemic, earning money is harder than ever.
Welcome to Ludee.org
The Crowdfunding Quiz Game to help students pay off their student loan and
earn some cash on the side.
Ludee.org is a not for profit organization created with the sole purpose of helping students pay off
their student loans while playing a fun quizz game and win weekly awards. 90% of the generated income on Ludee goes directly to our users,
while 10% is used to operate the Ludee platform, less banking and process charges.

Like life, Ludee is a game of wonder.
- The game is quite simple. It's a trivia game where you answer general purpose questions.
- Only correct answers will be accounted for. You will get bonus points if you surpass your previous session score.
- A game session lasts 7 days. This is called the inner cycle.
- At the end of each inner cycle, the 3 top player with the highest points count wins the weekly money prize.
- As long as there are questions available, you can play as many times as you like to strive for higher scores.
- However, you can only play on one account. If you play on more than one account, we reserve the right to ban you from Ludee.
How do we pay off student loans?
- Every student that signs up on Ludee has the opportunity to enter the Student Loan Fund.
- For that, simply fill in the justification form and once your form is validated by out staff, you will be added to the queue.
- The loans are added in chronological order, this means that the loans with the shortest dead line gets on top of the list.
- A loan is paid off completely if it is under 15k else, your loan will receive a maximum of 15k before switching to the following.
How do you pay off loans?
There is a 10 euros/month subscription fee to use Ludee. The money is split as follow:
For the following example, we will take a base of 10,000 euros:
- Every month, the money is split 3 ways.
- 50% goes to the Student Loan Fund, 40% goes to the weekly prizes and the remaining 10% goes to Ludee (in order to run the platform..
- The Student Loan Fund is filled up every month until it either reaches the amount of the student loan in the current funding cycle or 25k.
- Once one of both cases is met, the loan on the current funding cycle is payed.
- After payment of the current student loan, a new funding cycle is launched and the next student loan on the list becomes takes the top spot.
The structure of the platform is still in R&D state but here are the big lines:
