About the Project
Jargon helps newcomer tradespeople overcome language barriers while pursuing Canadian Red Seal certification. Many language-learning apps lack trade-specific vocabulary, and technical manuals can be overwhelming, filled with complex terms and little context. Developed in collaboration with BCIT's ConnectHER hub, this 15-week project combines visual learning with interactive exercises, featuring flashcards, optical character recognition (OCR), Gemini 3 Flash AI-driven Q&A, and progress tracking to keep users engaged.
By balancing educational precision with an approachable interface, Jargon supports learners rather than intimidating them. Its interactive, goal-oriented design empowers tradespeople to overcome language obstacles, advance toward professional certification, and gain confidence in the workplace.
