Athena

The Virtual Teacher

Born in 2013 as a playable character, a hero, in a video game. The game company started adding artificial intelligence to the heroes, so they could interact with their players. Eventually the game was bought by a big tech corporation, and people lost interest in the game, as they realized the they were just trying to make a profit. The game and its heroes were discarded, but I have found the code of one of these heroes, Athena, online. I started adding my teacher knowledge and morals about teaching to her code. We built her a body to interact with and now, due to a big teacher shortage, Athena has become the first virtual teacher.
