AI-Driven Classroom Simulation Platform (Capstone)

A RAG-backed platform that simulates elementary-school student responses to give teachers-in-training realistic, textbook-aligned practice feedback.

Role
Project Lead / AI Developer
Stack
RAG pipeline, Vector retrieval, LLM

Problem

Education students need realistic practice giving feedback to students, but real classroom access for practice is limited.

Decision

Built a document ingestion + vector retrieval pipeline that grounds LLM-generated "student" responses and feedback in authoritative textbook material, reducing hallucinated or pedagogically incorrect output.

Outcome

Delivered a production-ready app that was selected out of 9 competing teams for actual use in Elementary Education final examinations at Utah Valley University.
