Accodemy
Arxiv
Abstract: Computer programming is a rapidly evolving career path, but novice learners often find it intimidating due to competitive opportunities, academic pressure, and course difficulties. These factors can lead to anxiety and dropout. This project explores beyond conventional code learning platforms by using effective and personalized learning strategies. It includes AI-generated questions, mindfulness quotes, motivational tips, and an AI chatbot. Additionally, it integrates personalized roadmaps and gamification to keep users engaged. The goal is to monitor progress and enhance coding knowledge with a revised curriculum to reduce fear and boost confidence.
I turn ideas into innovation
My university journey includes 8+ competitions and hackathons. Projects like Accodemy (Best Second Year Project, IEEE GEN AI Top 30) and RevisePlus (INSL 23 winner) demonstrate how passionate teams can create impactful educational solutions.
