Gender Bias Education Platform (FYP)

A research-driven project at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI. Built a playful interactive world-building platform for pre-teens to learn about gender biases. Users design a 'utopian world' by choosing locations and assigning character roles. Features a polite AI chatbot that acts as a gentle guide, asking thoughtful questions to encourage exploration of unbiased choices and praising counter-stereotypical decisions to reinforce learning without shaming. Currently exploring an Android version to increase accessibility.
