SUMMARY:Bamaa: A STEM Learning Platform for Afghan Students
DESCRIPTION:Malika Muradi (Brac university) and Ali Akbar Ahmadi (Bamaa)\n
 \nDecades of conflict and poverty have devastated\nAfghanistan’s education
  system, leaving curricula outdated, poor\nquality education and shorten h
 uman resources. Although Gen-\nerative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) lea
 rning platforms have\nseen widespread global adoption, Afghan learners rem
 ain largely\nexcluded due to language barriers, limited awareness, low dig
 ital\nliteracy, lack of trust, financial constraint and the situation\nwor
 sened by the nationwide education ban on girls and women.\nTo address this
  gap, we introduce Bamaa, a platform to\nsupport students in Afghanistan i
 n improving their problem-\nsolving skills in STEM subjects. The platform 
 support Dari and\nPashto (Afghanistan’s native languages) , enabling an in
 clusive\npersonalized learning and individual feedback and recommen-\ndati
 on learning experience for students navigating educational\nbarriers cause
 d by years of political instability, poverty and the\nrestrictive policies
  imposed by the current regime on women.\n\nRecording: Partially Livestrea
