Bio
I have a thirst to experience other cultures and traditions. Being Iranian-American has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in both cultures and affects the way I approach design. Design has the universal ability to evoke meaning and spark a change in the ways we view the world which is truly amazing. I’ve always had great art teachers that have pushed me to do my best and never be afraid to take risks. I want my work to be directed towards a younger audience to inspire them to do something great and be an active member of their community. Building 3D-printed hands for young children was an experience that brought all these ideas together for me. When there is a need for design, it doesn’t matter where you come from or what language you speak but what is important is that you can make a difference with design and impact the lives of others.

Description
ABC3D is an interactive visual website that gives kids another option to learning subjects like Math and Science. Students will create their own personalized account where they can earn trophies and badges for completing chapters. Each chapter has a theme that will revolve around the content they are learning. Education is not only about solving the problem, so we want to give them a chance to see what they learn has a real-world application. Once a student completes a set of problems they will unlock a building piece that can be 3D printed. After completing the chapter they will have a set of pieces to build something they think would improve the world around them that is related to the theme of that specific chapter. ABC3D is a service that inspires education, creativity and innovation in our students so that they can go out in the world and do great things.
Mission
Giving students the opportunity be creative and innovative. We want to take their education and give it a real world application. They are our future and their creativity can solve issues within our communities.
Vision
To offer a product that will aid student learning by using a visual, hands-on style to solve problems. Help our youth realize that there isn’t just one way to solve a problem and it takes determination to be successful.
