Situation: In STEM fields, both students and professors face challenges with current visualization tools. These tools are crucial for conveying and understanding complex ideas effectively. However, the available options are often difficult to use, typically requiring coding skills, which creates a barrier for many.

Tasks: To address this issue, the task was to create a more accessible and user-friendly tool for generating visualizations in STEM. This involved designing a system that could interpret requests and translate them into visual forms without the need for users to have coding knowledge.

Actions: In response to this need, we developed a tool that leverages AI to simplify the process of creating mathematical animations. This tool utilizes the Manim engine, made popular by the YouTube channel 3blue1brown, known for its clear and engaging mathematical visualizations. Our tool allows users to describe what they want to visualize, and the AI interprets these descriptions to create animations using Manim.

Results: The result is a powerful, easy-to-use tool that democratizes access to high-quality STEM visualizations. It enables both students and professors to focus more on the concepts they want to convey or understand, rather than on the technical aspects of creating visualizations. This tool has the potential to enhance learning and teaching experiences in the STEM community significantly.
