Summary
01 — Problem
What if every student could learn at their own pace?
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, learning has never been more accessible. But just reading or watching anything does not make sure you actually learned something.
One of the best ways to learn is to test your knowledge frequently with spaced repetition.
This method is well established in research but almost entirely absent from how schools operate today.
"Students are just doing rote learning & not really curious about the topics, the exam system forces them to memorise & forget once the exam is over… real learning is not happening"

Research & Key Insights
We talked with teachers & parents during the Parent-teacher meetings to understand the what parents are hoping for in the age of A.I, And what do teachers expect now that tools like 'ChatGPT' can generate syllabus or prepare study material.
Students can easily submit homework using 'ChatGPT', teachers want a system where students do use A.I but also learn at the same time.
We learnt 2 main things.
Parents are ready to invest in tools that ensure their child has an edge over others
Teachers want tools that not only free up their time from paperwork but also help students learn with A.I instead of avoiding it.
Research Method
Survey with parents at parent-teacher meetings in tier 2,3 city schools to understand hopes and fears in with A.I assisted learning.

The system has been validated with partner schools and is actively being iterated based on testing feedback.
05 — Conclusion
Learnings & Conclusion
Orbit is my most ambitious project in this portfolio because it is designed for a problem that doesn't have an immediate payoff.
A single quiz tells you very little. But fifty quizzes across six months, tracked against a student's specific gaps and strengths, builds the ultimate learning profile.
The product is still being validated. But the foundation of a learning loop that gets more personalised the more you use it, is what makes it worth building carefully.
Learnings
We started the product as a simple quiz generation tool, but the learning profile for students that is built over months became the final product that works for teachers, students and their parents.
