Have you tried building your own gaming PC but felt overwhelmed by all the choices?

Meet Rayhan Siraj, a 7th grader from Fairfax, Virginia who turned this exact challenge into an app idea!

As someone passionate about gaming and technology, Rayhan realized that building a PC can be intimidating for first-timers. There are hundreds of parts to choose from, compatibility issues to worry about, and budget constraints to consider. Many young people want to build their own gaming rigs but don't know where to start.

So he built an app to solve it!

Introducing "BuildBuddy" - your personal assistant for building the perfect PC! Answer a few simple questions about your gaming needs, budget, and preferences, and BuildBuddy generates personalized recommendations for every component you need. Save your dream build locally or export it to share with friends and family.

What makes this even more impressive? Rayhan built BuildBuddy after just 3 sessions in the October Foundations cohort at Flintolabs. That's right - in less than a month, he went from learning AI basics to building an app from an idea he had that solves a real problem.

Check out BuildBuddy whether you're planning to build a PC or not! The recommendations are smart, the interface is clean, and the whole experience shows what's possible when students learn by building real projects.
