After learning about bullying in her early elementary schooling years, Medha Pappula has made it her mission to make sure the world is a bullying-free place. It started with modest impacts in her class, like helping resolve conflicts between friends or standing up for the underdog. She understood that bullying was a real problem and not something to be brushed aside. Using her talents as an animator, she created a spectacular video! This video spoke about one particular day: Unity Day! This day was special to Medha as it aligned perfectly with her goals to make the world a bullying-free place. This video explains what Unity Day is and what it stands for. She carefully crafted it to make it appropriate for all ages to watch. This video not only taught others what Unity Day was, but it also helped them understand what being kind can do for someone. It was played throughout her school district and was even placed on PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center’s main website! This was exciting for her as her message and goal would be shared to so many more people than she initially imagined when making the video. As an avid user of the internet, Medha has found that cyberbullying occurs a lot more often than people think. She has also learned that it can be a lot more hurtful and persistent than bullying. Because of this realization, she shifted her goals to focus on both types of bullying. After trying her best to stop cyberbullying on the internet, she realized she needed something more ‘automated.’ She couldn’t be there 24/7 to help out cyberbullying victims, but an automated robot could be online forever! After this realization, she developed a custom online robot to take messages and run them through an Artificial Intelligence-powered classifier that would determine if the message cyberbullying or not. Doing this helped her achieve her goals, without being there all the time. This project was recognized by the military as an outstanding effort. So far, this bot has taken down many cyberbullying messages, making the internet a safer place. Medha is planning to expand this concept into a browser add-on or a mobile app! Throughout her journey, Medha has learned that anyone can help prevent bullying and cyberbullying! It could just be a small conversation or an animated video, but anything can help. She believes that if everyone pitches in, the world can truly be a bullying/cyberbullying-free place.
