I've been experimenting with Google AI Studio to rapidly prototype accessible ed tech tools that enhance K-12 student experiences—delivering personalized STEM activities, equitable enrichment opportunities, and evidence-based teaching aids to educators everywhere. These projects bridge scholarly research with practical classroom use, making innovative learning design available to teachers, parents, students, and communities of all ages, beyond traditional academic gates.
Charisma Lab is a communication app for 5th‑grade Tennessee ELA students, inspired by Ron Clark’s Amazing Shake, Knox County Schools’ “Great Shake,” and TN ELA standard 5.SL.PKI.6. It offers structured, engaging communication challenges that help students practice speaking, listening, and presenting in realistic scenarios, with a focus on giving all students—not just the top performers—access to high‑quality skill development. Charisma Lab is an active prototype, and its activities, scenarios, and features are continuously evolving as I refine how it supports equitable communication growth.
⚠️ Prototype Warning
Charisma Lab is a research prototype built in Google AI Studio. A formal study is in design—once launched, non-study users may lose saved data. Expect bugs/iterations that could affect progress. Use at your own risk, but know that your feedback is appreciated and helps shape the future!
EduTranslate is a prototype app that turns dense articles into clear, audience‑ready summaries tailored for education. It takes any excerpt or uploaded PDF and produces easily digestible reading with highlighted key points and topics, tuned to both grade level (elementary, middle, high school, undergraduate, graduate, professional) and role (student, parent, journalist, researcher, and more). Because EduTranslate is an active research prototype, its features and underlying models are continuously evolving as I test new ways to make complex scholarship accessible to the people who need it most.
RGB Vision Lab is an interactive web app that helps users explore how red, green, and blue (RGB) values combine to create digital colors. It’s designed as a hands-on tool for experimenting with color mixing, visualizing numeric RGB inputs, and building intuition about how screens represent color.
