https://github.com/siridesaiSiri Mutalik Desai is a dedicated high school senior, entrepreneur, and community leader with a passion for computer science—particularly artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Fascinated by technology, education, and language, Siri created Polyglot STEM Buddy, an open-source AI chat-based application to teach STEM to children in the language they’re most comfortable with. Her dream is to use technology to make education accessible to every child, everywhere. In her free time, you can find her listening to music, reading books, painting something new, or volunteering with her friends.
Polyglot STEM Buddy
Independent Project
As a first-generation immigrant, I’ve always held two things close to my heart: education and language. When I discovered that 40% of people worldwide—and up to 90% in some countries—don’t have access to education in a language they fully understand, I realized I wanted to help solve this issue, and so, Polyglot STEM Buddy was born. Polyglot STEM Buddy is an open-source AI chat-based application that teaches STEM to children in the language they’re most comfortable with. With features like quiz, flashcard, and summary generation, it’s designed to help make learning fun and engaging. In the future, I hope to expand the project to support more languages and functions by collaborating with educators, students, and parents. I hope Polyglot STEM Buddy helps bring us one step closer to making multilingual education accessible to students everywhere.
