🚀 ISRO Kiosk Web Application – Internship Project

An interactive, modular, and secure Kiosk Web Application built as part of my internship at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Designed for deployment in ISRO campuses and visitor centers, this application enables real-time public outreach, visitor engagement, and admin control — all packed in a beautiful offline-first interface.

👨‍💻 Built with Flask + HTML/CSS/JS
🧠 Integrated AI Chatbot using Ollama
📊 Feedback & registration data stored in Google Sheets (secure access removed)
🔒 Admin login & dashboard with data viewing
📺 Optimized for large screens and public kiosks

🎯 Project Objective

To create a public-facing digital Kiosk System for ISRO that:

• Educates visitors and students about Indian space missions.
• Collects visitor data and feedback securely.
• Offers an offline-ready intelligent chatbot.
• Supports real-time administrative control.

🧩 Complete Module Breakdown

1. 📝 Visitor Registration / Feedback

• Collects details from users visiting the ISRO premises.
• Accepts feedback and stores it directly in Google Sheets using the GSheets API.
• Data is viewable only via the Admin Dashboard.
• ⚠️ Credentials have been stripped for public GitHub version.

---

2. 📹 Videos

• Embeds educational and promotional ISRO videos.
• Useful for school tours and public demos.

---

3. 🤖 Outreach Bot (Offline AI Chatbot)

• Built using Ollama, an open-source LLM runner (works offline).
• Trained on ISRO-specific Q&A and FAQs.
• Flask backend handles the prompt-response flow.
• Clean frontend interface (chatbot.html) for real-time chat.

---

4. 📈 Future Missions of ISRO

• Displays cards/info panels about upcoming ISRO missions.
• Helps users stay informed about launches and research.

---

5. 🛰 NRSC (National Remote Sensing Centre)

• Educates users on NRSC functions and satellite data use.
• Links or embeds NRSC resources.

---

6. 🌐 Virtual Tour

• A guided simulation of ISRO facilities and achievements.
• Can be upgraded with 360° panoramic content later.

---

7. 🛠 Working Models

• Showcases miniature replicas or images/videos of:
  • PSLV
  • GSLV
  • Chandrayaan
  • Mangalyaan
  • Satellites

---

8. ❓ Space Quiz

• Interactive MCQ-based quiz to test visitors' knowledge.
• Can be expanded to score-based games for schools.

---

9. 🔐 Admin Dashboard (Login Protected)

• Admin can securely:
  • View submitted feedback and registrations (from Google Sheets).
  • Access internal content or logs.
• Username and password stored as environment variables:

  os.environ.get('ADMIN_USERNAME', 'set ur username')
  os.environ.get('ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'set ur pasword')

## 🧠 AI Integration with Ollama

* 🧩 Ollama runs a local LLM model for chatbot capability.
* 🤖 Chat interface (chatbot.html) interacts with Flask server.
* 📴 Completely offline — no OpenAI or external APIs used.

> ✅ Privacy-focused & fast
> ✅ Ideal for secure ISRO internal systems
