At just 8 years old, Yasseen practices Judo, is an accomplished pianist and most recently, an app developer. His parents enrolled him in the Kumon Math Program when he was five years old because they wanted to strengthen his math skills. They never imagined how deeply he would fall in love with math.
Over time, his love for math developed into an interest in coding. He was able to leverage the skills he developed in Kumon—including logic and algorithms—to teach himself how to code.
Together with his father, Yasseen developed the app Versus: The Number Guessing Challenge. With a love for numbers, he wanted a fun way for players to challenge one another in a number guessing game. The success did not stop there. Apple’s Editor contacted Yasseen to feature Versus on the “Today” tab of the App Store. On average, only one out of several thousand developers get the opportunity to be featured on the App Store. Yasseen’s remarkable achievement means millions of people worldwide will see his app on the “Today” tab.
