" I have been working on projects that would create a social impact by bridging the technology, our physical world and the social rules and norms that humans have created. I aim to get some valuable insight regarding leadership and creating a change through Millennium Fellowship to maximize my impact with those projects in the future. I hope that this fellowship will allow me to change the lives of many individuals that face disadvantages in today's society. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Mersivity Learning Tools Project
The goal of my project was to invent, build, and create a sustainable framework that would allow “Mersive” learning tools that utilize eXtended Reality to shape the the education all around world. eXtended reality is a word invented by Professor Mann as well. He envisioned the term as something that connects the environment that we currently live in, the reality that the technology generated that is formed by bits and bytes and the values we have as humanity, that wouldn’t have existed without our presence in the world. Learning tools utilizing this framework would use technology to teach our environment to students using technology, while taking into account their values and traditions.
