FET UNILAG Official Website
The official digital platform for the Forum for Emerging Technology at the University of Lagos, designed to showcase research blocs, manage events, and foster a student-led tech community.
01. The Problem
The Forum for Emerging Technology (FET) lacked a centralized, modern platform to organize its diverse research divisions (Blocs) and communicate its mission to the student body at UNILAG.
02. The Logic
Implemented an immersive Hero section with dynamic string-expansion animations and mouse-tracked parallax backgrounds.
Developed a modular 'Research Blocs' system to showcase independent divisions like AI, Fintech, and Blockchain.
Built a custom executive directory and event management system to streamline organizational transparency.
Utilized Framer Motion for sophisticated micro-interactions and scroll-based entry animations.
03. The Stack
04. The Solution
Implementation Result
A high-performance, aesthetically premium web application that serves as the organization's 'digital headquarters', providing clear pathways for students to join research teams and stay updated on tech trends.
Key Outcomes
- 01.Consolidated 5+ disparate research divisions into a single unified platform.
- 02.Reduced onboarding friction for new members through a dedicated 'Join' workflow.
- 03.Achieved near-perfect Lighthouse scores through Next.js optimization techniques.
Reflection
- Advanced use of React 19 features and Next.js App Router for complex state management.
- Implementing 'liquid' UI patterns that respond to user input (mouse parallax).
- Developing a design system that balances technical sophistication with academic accessibility.
