The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors AIMT Club is an initiative led by students and coordinated by the community under the leadership of Ashish Ujjwal, the Club Lead. This club is an innovative and engaging community where students can participate in various technical and fun activities, including:
The goal of this project is to create a full-featured web application that supports the coordination of the club's activities through an event panel, admin panel, blog panel, and more.
Easily organize, manage, and participate in events. Users can browse, register, and get details on upcoming club events.
A fully CRUD-enabled blog panel where users and admins can create, read, update, and delete blogs.
Manage all users, events, and blogs from a centralized Admin Panel. Admins have complete control over the platform, including sending newsletters and moderating user activity.
Seamless email notifications via Nodemailer. Users get notified about event registration, blog updates, and other activities through emails.
Secure and reliable user authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Roles and permissions are managed for users, admins, and event managers.
Real-time communication with Socket.io enables dynamic and engaging interaction among users during live events and chats.
The entire platform is deployed and hosted on Azure, ensuring fast and scalable performance.
