THE STORY

The context.

An early open education project organized around Myanmar’s national curriculum. A working crawler and normalized catalog connect 307 unique curriculum books with a browser bookshelf, PDF reader, and three example 3D lessons. The full curriculum of interactive lessons is still in development.

MY CONTRIBUTION

My role.

Built the textbook indexing pipeline and the immersive learning site, with Unicode Burmese and a 2D mode for lower-powered devices.

INSIDE THE BUILD

The details that make it work.

  • KG–12 catalog with alternate sources, classifications, and provenance
  • 3D campus, bookshelf, PDF reader, and three procedural lesson scenes
  • Burmese/English interface, offline-first PWA, and a lightweight 2D fallback
