Quick Technical Proof

  • Not translation: the tutor interprets science using Efik-defined STEM primitives.
  • Hallucination control: outputs are constrained to your verified dataset.
Example demo prompts: 1) Explain photosynthesis using cassava in Efik. 2) Multiply 20 by 3 using Efik base-20 logic.

🌍 The Problem

Students in Cross River State face a "Language Tax" in STEM, leading to cognitive overload and disengagement.

🚀 The Solution

A grounded reasoning engine built on Azure OpenAI, utilizing indigenous Base-20 (Vigesimal) logic.
