I recently saw the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=88IJCKhsCTE
Its a video about an 18 year old guy called Angad Nadkarni. He is a hacker and also knows things about data mining algorithms. Since my interest lies in simplifying education hence I got really motivated with what he's doing these days. He is making an application called Examify which scans the question papers of all the coaching classes, schools ,tuition centers and then uses programming algorithms to take out the pattern for the questions. In short it guesses your next exam paper!! Amazed?
I was wishing if these things existed when I was giving my 12th board exams. In a country like India nobody asks you how you did it when you get good marks. All that matters is you got 90 plus in boards. Nobody feels the need to ask about interests and paths that we wanted to take. They just see our academics and labels us intelligent or idiot. So Examify will make all the students reach closer towards the so called 'intelligent category' and also give them time to pursue their inner calling. The students will just study the important questions and have time for extracurricular activities.
For all the features see the link to the complete video.
