Why USA Symbol Exists
"While researching American state symbols, I noticed there wasn't a single, well-organized resource that brought everything together in one accessible place. Information was scattered across government websites, Wikipedia articles, and various educational sites. I wanted to build a systematized, mobile-optimized platform that makes learning about state symbols engaging and straightforward."
"Each state has its own identity, history, and symbols that tell important stories. This project combines my software engineering skills with my interest in making educational content accessible to everyone—from students working on school projects to anyone curious about American heritage."
