Research

Throughout the summer of 2016, my primary researching goal is to assist in the hardware and software applications development of the My Accessible+ Math project. Additionally, I will be a helping hand in summer camps for kids that will be learning about robotics, 3D printing, and code.

My Accessible+ Math, also referred to as My A+ Math, is a project that has been in the development process since May 2015 at Auburn University in Alabama. Its main focus is to facilitate the learning method for visually impaired students who are enrolled in college math level courses. This task is wisely being approached by creating software applications that will interact with a haptic interface while the student is using the math teaching program. Developing this project will benefit the teaching environment as well as the student when trying to comprehend a high level course of mathematics. The outcome of My A+ Math will be an experimental run-through of only a couple of software applications for a selected number of visually impaired students from Alabama to experience. After they have personally interacted with the program, their constructive criticism will be taken into account for further improvement.
