Context
In modern education, Genius emerges as a response to the growing disconnect between technological advancement and the emotional well-being of students. Inspired by Kai-Fu Lee, this project revolutionizes education by integrating AI to support both the learning and emotional needs of students. A study at the University of Mexico highlights that 50% of students suffer from stress and anxiety, highlighting the deficiencies of the current educational system. Genius, fusing technology and humanity, proposes a personalized, adaptive and compassionate education. It goes beyond technological implementation; seeks to reimagine education by focusing on creativity, empathy and human connections. It offers a holistic approach, addressing academic, emotional and social needs, transforming the educational culture towards a balance between well-being and academic success. Genius is not just a solution, but a vision of an educational future where technology enhances the human.
Who Benefits?
Our target audience is university students and teachers. The Genius platform benefits students by promoting self-awareness and personal growth. It helps to discover and enhance hidden abilities, such as in the case of a student who improves in mathematics by recognizing his skills in logic and problem solving. Personalized assessments challenge students, focusing on their individual improvement rather than competition with others. This encourages a mindset of constant development, crucial for all areas of life. For teachers, Genius saves time administering tests and grading, allowing for a deeper focus on teaching and personalized attention. It provides detailed data on student performance, making it easy to identify areas that require additional support and encouraging adaptation to individual needs. Additionally, by focusing on 21st century skills like critical thinking, Genius prepares students for challenges beyond the classroom, benefiting society at large.
Impact
Genius is an innovative educational solution combining formative assessment, personalized curriculum, and immersive experiences in a digital ecosystem. Outshining platforms like Knewton, DreamBox, and Cognii, it uses AI to adapt to each student’s unique learning needs, offering customized challenges and content. It reimagines educational material to fit individual preferences and paces. A standout feature is its immersive virtual environments that enhance learning. This comprehensive approach in personalized assessment, curriculum adaptation, and immersive experiences makes Genius a pioneering force in education, reshaping student learning and development.
Team work
The multidisciplinary team of 2 Business Engineers and 1 Professor will lead the implementation of Genius. In the short term, Business Engineering will carry out an exhaustive analysis of the educational market, establishing business strategies and financial viability. The Professor will provide pedagogical experience to design educational content and structures, while coordinating pilot tests and analyzing feedback for continuous improvements and the integration of technological innovations in the platform.
In the long term, we will focus on user expansion and sustainable growth. We will seek additional talent and train the team in critical areas such as software development, marketing and customer support. We will continue to evolve the platform incorporating technological and pedagogical advances. This strategic approach ensures effective implementation and progressive development of Genius to adapt and excel in the educational environment in the long term.
Innovativeness
Genius revolutionizes education by reducing student stress with adaptive and personalized assessments, offering individualized feedback that reduces anxiety compared to traditional assessments. The platform innovates by integrating virtual and augmented reality, allowing a more dynamic interaction with the content and creating an attractive learning environment.
Genius will have pre- and post-implementation surveys measure perceived stress related to assessments and learning. Also, it will help teachers to give feedback quicklier, its impact on student performance and the teaching-learning process is crucial. Finally, Genius will monitor the interaction with immersive experiences, time spent and actions carried out by students.
Transferability
Genius stands out for its focus on continuous learning, recognizing the constant nature of the human learning process.
In secondary education, it offers instant feedback that keeps students engaged, facilitating personalized interventions and energizing assignments and exams.

In regions with limited access to education, it acts as a bridge by offering quality educational resources, democratizing education with its adaptability and functioning in diverse environments.
Genius not only adapts, but transforms the educational experience, becoming an integral tool to improve education in any context. Furthermore, its scalability as a platform and the individual use of its tools such as organization, simulators, extension and virtual teacher make its application viable in various educational scenarios.
Sustainability
The implementation of our project is divided into medium and long-term phases. In the first phase, the software is developed, investigating feasibility, contacting experts and designing functionalities. In the second, you launch a pilot, collect feedback, adjust and gradually expand the implementation. The final phase focuses on consolidating the software in institutions, with constant adjustments and the ambition to become a global solution. In the long term, we seek to grow, diversify, expand internationally and adapt to diverse educational cultures, always evolving with technology and educational needs. This approach not only aspires to positively impact global education, but also to evolve with the trends and needs of the educational field.
