About the project
The PhotoMath project is designed to teach students how to create a Python application that can solve mathematical equations using image recognition. Leveraging the power of computer vision and optical character recognition (OCR), the project involves capturing handwritten or printed equations via a camera, processing the images to extract the equations, and then solving them using mathematical libraries.

Build a robot
- Build your own photo chamber so it fits your needs and length of your equations.
Building instructions:
Get the robot ready
- Make sure your camera is setup properly so it only sees the paper with your equation because LEGO blocks or edges of paper can make OCR get the equation wrong.
Raspberry Python Code:
Ideas for improvement
- Make your own calculator that can solve harder equations.
- Show the result or interpretation of the equation in PyGame.
Evaluate your performance
- Think about how you approached the problem and about how else could it be solved.
- Evaluate yourself on how you adapted when something didn't work as you hoped it would.
