MY PASSION PROJECTs
Developed AI Math Tutor Application
Combining my passion for mathematics with artificial intelligence, I have developed a web application geared towards middle schoolers. The application helps students with complex math word-problems and develops their critical thinking skills. I have been able to support 100+ students through the application so far and hope to expand its reach.
Conducted AI Hackathons
This past summer, I conducted AI Hackathons for middle and high school students. With the goal to help increase their knowledge on various AI related topics, I designed unique Python and AI challenges incorporating decision trees, classification models, and LLMs. I spearheaded 3 hackathons and mentored and guided 30+ students.
