Revolutionizing Education: Steven's Journey and FLORA's Mission to Bridge Gaps with AI Technology

Meet Steven, an eternal tech enthusiast driven by curiosity and creativity. When faced with a problem, he confronts challenges head-on, fueled by a relentless passion that refuses to surrender easily. Steven firmly believes in the ability of anyone to develop curiosity and determination through a nurturing mindset and an environment that fosters autonomy and provides instantaneous feedback.

In his vision, AI technology becomes the cornerstone for constructing an environment that not only nurtures curiosity but also facilitates continuous learning.

In Canada, a private lesson tends to run anywhere from $30-$90/hour! The costly nature of tuition makes it agonizingly unaffordable for the majority of the population to access feedback that is both personalized and instantaneous. Thus, Steven has created the organization, FLORA, with its mission set on integrating AI technology into education both as a tool for self-development as well as learning facilitated by a teacher. Through this, we wish to amend inequalities such as the poverty trap and improve the quality of education, globally. 

“I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.” Elon Musk. 

Steven emphasizes the transformative potential of AI technology in creating an environment that propels students into a state of flow, not only in education but also in the workforce.

A 10-year longitudinal study by Keller aimed to demonstrate a potential performance increase of 500% during the state of flow. This aligns with the framework Steven has embedded in his organization, PRISM:

Pioneer the future of education 

Rally creative spirits

Invocate with wisdom 

Spark brilliance in curiosity 

Maximize opportunities 

Furthermore, Steven's mission aligns with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the transformative impact of education, innovation, and reduced inequalities:

SDG 4: Education

Provide Inclusive and equitable quality education using AI that is accessible and instantaneous in its response. 

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

Foster innovation in education by leveraging technology, emphasizing the importance of the internet, and incorporating AI for testing and evaluation.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

Reduce educational inequalities by targeting those without access to active teachers, addressing memorization-based learning, and helping teachers and students alike personalize education through AI tutoring and mentoring.
