📖 About the Project

This project was developed as part of a university assignment to explore the use of interactive technologies in education. The goal is to:

• Explain dyslexia and dyscalculia with visual examples.
• Simulate the experiences of those with these learning differences.
• Engage users with interactive content and mini-games.

By blending education with interaction, the project aims to foster understanding and empathy.
