Nadine Chami

Nadine Chami, an 18-year-old Lebanese computer science student, leads the team behind HoloSchool, alongside Rama Charaf El Dine (UI/UX design), Cyrine Haydar (web development), and Hanan Awwad (digital marketing). Their journey began when they were selected for DIGI YESS, a program by the Lebanese Association for Scientific Research (LASeR) in partnership with the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund. The program provided training, mentorship, and resources to turn ideas into real solutions.

Through design thinking sessions, HoloSchool was born—a platform aligning with the Lebanese curriculum to make learning interactive and engaging. Students explore concepts like orthogonality and functions in 3D, manipulate shapes with the innovative Touch Cube feature, and visualize mathematical functions dynamically.

The team’s dedication earned them second place at the Educational Summit and laid the foundation for HoloSchool’s official launch. Today, they continue applying their technical, design, and marketing skills professionally, with a vision to expand the platform to physics, chemistry, and biology. Their journey demonstrates how strategic partnerships and hands-on learning through the Digi Yess program empower students to transform ideas into meaningful impact.
