Empowering Parents, Transforming Homework
Hermie is an AI chatbot that helps parents guide their children through math homework using step-by-step support, interactive explanations, and real-world examples. Rooted in Sociocultural Theory and scaffolding principles, Hermie encourages parent-led dialogue rather than providing direct answers, fostering deeper understanding and problem-solving skills.
Designed with instructional design, educational psychology, and AI development, Hermie creates a warm, intuitive experience that builds parent confidence and supports student learning. By reinforcing a growth mindset, Hermie transforms homework into a collaborative and empowering experience, with potential expansion into other subjects like science and reading.
