Her project AI Dyslexia Pre-screening System aims to provide a quick pre-screening service to students at risk of Dyslexia. The system consists of four sets of pre-screening questions, based on the criteria from our patient. The main pre-screening attributes are Word Recognition, Reading, and Writing.

The system applies AI technology, Visual Communication Methods, and Human-Computer Interaction Methods to maintain our competitive edge. Under the integration of multi-gameplay puzzles, the system provides students a pleasant learning environment, helping them rebuild their self-esteem. The aspiration of her team is to embrace an inclusive, quality, and equal educational opportunity for our lovely kids.
