I worked as an elementary school teacher for over 10 years. As I have met students in my classroom, I realized that technology can benefit students as well as teachers. Because I had a master's degree in elementary mathematics education, I started developing educational Apps for learning and teaching mathematics and broadening my territories.
Here are my projects.

Hologram Maker (2016)
Hologram Maker (2016)
What is light? It is hard to expect to listen to elementary students the right answers. From a view of STEM education, however, light is a very interesting subject that should be covered in that it can introduce a variety of concepts in physics. For elementary school students, making them play with "light" is the first step to learn about it. Here is where the hologram comes into play.
Using the pyramid that can be made by OHP film, this android app allows students to experience the hologram in a maneuverable manner. Students can make 3D text, 3D cube with their own pictures, 3D planets in our solar system as if they are real.

Generative AI tools in Education
How do learners respond to GenAI tools, interact with them, and how to leverage GenAI tools in work and learning contexts?
How do educators respond to the integration of ChatGPT into their teaching practices?
How do learners interact with GenAI tools?
How could we leverage GenAI tools in learning and work contexts?

Regarding the utilization of generative AI tools:
- I have created a customized version of ChatGPT (powered by ChatGPT-4) that allows us to give some specific instructions or "personas" into ChatGPT to produce more personalized responses (link: https://nahunhee.github.io/ChatGPT_Persona/).
- This customized ChatGPT will be deployed in my recent project titled "Utilizing Generative AI Tools to Support Early Career Teachers Facing Various Challenges in Their Teaching Practices." Within this project, I will investigate how these teachers engage with the modified ChatGPT and assess its impact on their professional development.
