His parents enrolled him in the Kumon Math Program when he was five years old because they wanted to strengthen his math skills. They never imagined how deeply he would fall in love with math.

What inspired you to create the app? One night, my father and I were debating the best or fastest way of finding a number between 1 and 1,000. That led to the idea of creating a ‘versus’ game. I really wanted to create an app because it’s more interactive and it allows you to either play against your friends or your device. What is your goal for users downloading your app? My goal is for users to have fun, but most importantly to inspire young developers to follow their dreams. I want to give them hope that if I can do it, they can as well! Do you plan on creating more apps in the future and if so, what kind? Yes, I am planning on creating more game related apps that could be fun for car trips. All kids get bored in the car! As you can see, Yasseen’s app development career has only just begun. Through his daily Kumon routine, he has not only sharpened his math skills, he has also gained the patience and confidence to follow his dreams. Yasseen hopes to one day be a computer engineer in the medical field. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Yasseen! Discover even more student success stories.
