The future of education lies in personalized and scalable solutions, especially in fields like computer engineering where complex concepts often challenge students. This talk introduces Lumina (AI Teaching Assistant), a cutting-edge agentic system designed to revolutionize programming education through its innovative architecture and teaching strategies. Built using OpenAI API, LangChain, RAG, and ChromaDB, Lumina employs an agentic, multi-modal framework that dynamically integrates course materials, technical documentation, and pedagogical strategies into an adaptive knowledge-driven system. Its unique “Knowledge Components” approach decomposes programming concepts into interconnected teachable units, enabling proficiency-based learning and dynamic problem-solving guidance. Attendees will discover how Lumina’s agentic architecture enhances engagement, fosters critical thinking, and improves concept mastery, paving the way for scalable AI-driven educational solutions.
