The education system currently implemented in Portugal is based on the traditional model in which studying is encouraged as the means to pass curricular units through exams, which is a process regarded as an obligation by most students. Peer mentoring emerges as an educational model that aims to streamline the teaching process in a more fun, motivating, and educational way for all stakeholders. In addition to fostering the development of soft skills, it represents a motivational boost for all participants and a higher knowledge retention rate thanks to the practicality of the proposed exercises. As a first solution, the possibility of creating an informational campaign emerged through the realization and dissemination of multimedia content to raise awareness among the educational community regarding peer mentoring and its advantages and construction process. Another solution was the possibility of creating an informative website that would only provide information and resources to help teachers who wished to start mentoring sessions with their classes.

Ment is a platform where users (teachers and mentors) can register, create mentoring teams, associate disciplinary groups, produce mentoring sessions and share them publicly through a bank. As in the first hypotheses presented, we have a strong commitment to awareness and gradual monitoring, which is now implemented on the platform and is supported by a gradual tutorial to guide teachers.

The platform was created to improve our React, PHP and SQL skills.
