EdTech AI Assistant for Teaching professionals

Powerful EdTech AI to train, encourage and assist teachers/lecturers with their academic tasks - such as creating routine academic documents. Makes 21st century teaching as easy as a walk in the park.

EdTech AI Assistant for Students

Clever EdTech AI to introduce students to the concepts of 21st century learning. Creates e-assignments, prepares students for the work environment, encourages students and helps them to get better grades.

Digital Skills Focus

Use machine learning to help lecturers & students to focus on the most relevant digital skills that are currently needed by employers. We're building an EdTech AI that runs checks on course content to ensure that materials, tools & methods used are aligned to the digital skills needed in the current job market.

Hello

A FEW WORDS ABOUT US

We research and develop technology to ensure that our end-users are working smarter, not harder. We integrate elements of artificial intelligence into our products to gain deeper insights and to ensure that we do everything we can to reduce redundant and unnecessary data.

Our projects (and missions) normally take us into uncharted territories where people say "it's not possible", "it won't work", "yeah, but", "you know" but we say "why not?". We are gradually eliminating the impossible by turning our projects into possibilities and probabilities. We do this by basing our work on simplicity, consistency, efficiency, quality and creativity.

WHAT WE DO

RESEARCH

We focus on problems in the education industry internationally, we engage the stakeholders, carry out detailed analysis, including feasibility studies for about 180 days.

DESIGN

We take the findings from our research as input, turn it into a proper software project and essentially engineer an EdTech solution based on the latest software engineering principles.

DEVELOPMENT

We develop (test, release and support) software/hardware to solve the problems identified during the research we carried out. We keep our software & hardware as simple as it needs to be and we make sure that it makes life easier for our end users.

Industry: Education

Project: SPACE RAIN

Target Audience: Teachers & Students

THE STORY BEHIND OUR SPACE RAIN PROJECT: Despite massive technological advancements worldwide, we noticed that there have been hardly any significant leaps in the quality of education in many developing countries.

Teachers and students have very little assistance
when it comes to resources, software, learning
materials, teaching standards and guidance. This project was launched in 2017 to address and contain these problems on a large scale (initially across Africa, then globally).

We decided that we were going to use EdTech
(education technology) to partially solve some of the
problems we observed.

IMPOSSIBLE? Due to the technological challenges, lack of funding, problems with infrastructure and consumer behaviour in the education industry in developing countries, it was perceived by many that it is impossible to improve the quality of education. This means that no one can really successfully create any solution that can help teachers and students improve; basically that it is impossible to raise the quality of education in developing countries.

HOW DID WE ELIMINATE THE IMPOSSIBLE? Lots of hard work, market research, artificial intelligence, thinking outside the box, marketing on social media, inventing new technology, research, design, developing new technology, pre-seed capital and constantly reviewing, improving and refreshing what we created.

Our short answer would be our EdTech Personal Assistants - SAMANTHA & Dr. JANE.

STATUS:

Research: Ongoing
Design: Ongoing
Development: Ongoing

NEXT PHASE: We're now building Global versions of our EdTech Personal Assistants with a particular focus on digital skills.

7 GOALS OF OUR EDTECH PROJECT:

To create EdTech AI Assistants will initially run on Windows computers, laptops or tablets and will:

(1) introduce students/teachers to 21st century learning methods
(2) assist teachers in monitoring the health of students in the classroom
(3) provide knowledge about 21st century educational practices being used in developed countries in the world
(4) provide students/teachers with career advice about future career options
(5) prepare students for the work environment
(6) encourage students/teachers to use technology more in their learning
(7) quickly create standardised academic documentation
