In this episode, we speak with Calvin Armstrong, who shares the inspiring story behind the genesis of the OAME AI Chat Bot project. He discusses the challenges, successes, and the feedback from teachers that has shaped its development and explains the measures in place to keep the AI’s responses up-to-date with the latest educational policies and practices.

Cal Armstrong is a long-time mathematics educator and board member of OAME. He has been deeply engaged in technology and education for decades, with his most significant earlier development project being what became the OneNote Class Notebook, a tool that caught Microsoft's attention and was later redeveloped by the tech giant. His primary motivations are to save teachers time, personalize the student experience, and enhance the educational journey for both learners and teachers. Since 2017, he has focused on developing his practice in artificial intelligence and is the creator of the new OAME math chatbot, designed for OAME members. Outside the classroom and away from devices, he is an avid outdoorsman, a motorcyclist, and an active volunteer in his community.
