Science Fair: Nexus Project

Project Overview​

Nexus is an innovative initiative aimed at making AI development more accessible and user-friendly for both older kids and younger kids. The project focuses on creating an environment where complex AI workflows can be programmed easily using modular blocks. These blocks represent different components of AI systems, allowing users to build sophisticated AI models without deep technical knowledge.

Role​

  • Program Development
    • Created a program to automate the setup process and simplify configuration for AI training.
    • Designed user-friendly interfaces that make it easier for kids to interact with and understand AI concepts.
    • Developed various AI modules that can be used as building blocks for more complex workflows.
  • System Architecture
    • Implemented a modular system where each block represents a different AI function, such as data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation.
    • Ensured the system is scalable and adaptable to various AI tasks, from basic classification to more advanced deep learning models.

Objectives​

  • Accessibility

    • Make AI development approachable for older kids by providing an easy-to-use environment.
    • Lower the barrier to entry for AI programming, enabling more students to explore and experiment with AI technologies.

  • Education

    • Teach fundamental AI concepts through hands-on experience and interactive learning.
    • Encourage creative problem-solving and critical thinking by allowing users to design and test their own AI models.

Achievements​

  • Successfully developed a working prototype of the Nexus system.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of the modular block approach in simplifying AI development.
  • Received positive feedback from educators and students for its innovative approach to AI education.
