A Northeast Ohio teenager has created a new app to help children from kindergarten to 7th grade learn math in an effective and individualized way.

Mohammad Zoraiz is a junior at Mayfield High School. During the summer, Zoraiz, who learned to code and do computer programming a few years ago, saw a local news article that cited a Department of Education report about schoolchildren losing proficiency during online learning.

The app that Zoraiz designed, AchillesMath, earned him an award from Rep. Dave Joyce in OH-14's Congressional App Challenge. Zoraiz said he had been thinking about potential solutions to that proficiency gap, and designing an app was a way he could use his coding and programming skills to “create some kind of difference within our own community.”

The app is in progress, but Zoraiz hopes to get public support for it. He also wants to continue this type of work in the future.
