I co-founded SparkMind AI Education because I believe young people should have opportunities to understand technology—not only use it.
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of school, creativity, communication, and everyday life. Through SparkMind, I help explore ways to make AI easier to understand, more engaging, and less intimidating for younger learners.
My involvement includes leading AI learning activities, participating in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, developing project ideas, writing about AI-related experiences, and helping connect technology education with creativity and community impact.
SparkMind has helped me understand that technology is most meaningful when it responds to a real human need. I am learning how to move from identifying a problem to developing an idea, building a prototype, presenting it clearly, listening to feedback, and improving the solution.
