Inspiration

A significant inspiration for this project is a tutoring center called Kumon. I have been working at this center for about 3 years and have noticed pressing issues relating to the lack of fundamental skills in math of many of the students. Additionally, the tutoring center requires payment, making it difficult for children and teens in lower-income homes to obtain the necessary education and skills. With this in mind, I wanted to develop a mobile app called Mathify that provides a way for children to access free practice to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more.

How we built it and the challenges we ran into

I tried to learn app development to create my app but with my limited time, I knew I wasn't going to be able to create the vision I had. That's why I used ProtoPie to develop a mock-up example of my vision for my app. However, I'm not a graphic designer so it's relatively basic but with more time and knowledge, I definitely could have improved my submission.

What we learned

I learned that developing an application solo is not as easy as I had previously thought. There are much more complexities than I expected but now I know what I need to start learning. Also, I would say I'm not very artistic or creative in design so creating an app design wasn't as easy too. Even though I struggled, I enjoyed this hackathon and my overall experience with it.

What's next for Mathify

I plan for Mathify to be an app anyone can access from anywhere to practice math on the go. For now, I want to help children and young teens with the essential skills of math that will help them in the future. With this, I want Mathify to have a couple of unique mascots that grow as the users learn and complete the units. This will make learning interactive and make the users of the app feel a sense of accomplishment as they grow with the mascots. I plan to add hints and friendly guides for how to solve a specific question effectively. After these goals, I want to add higher-level math such as algebra, and a greater variety of unique problems.
