Our aim is to change the total ecosystem of learning, from school to professional education. We want to revolutionize JIT & Just in need in our education system towards a more AI based blended education format. We are transforming the generation in 2 areas: the school students through STEM education & coding & the university students & job seekers through nano degrees & industry-specific courses.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

There is currently no quality live Coding program in the country for young learners towards 4IR/future demand skills. They are limited to common course categories like IT related courses not based on industry skills expectations, and learners’ dynamic profile and data are not maintained for continuous learning. There is also no local online learning platform for students with special needs.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Over 18 million primary school students will be joining the workforce in 10 years. We are providing live online classes on ICT and coding to this massive K1-K12 segment. We have over 2500 students currently.
Based on our extensive market research with industry leaders and academics, we are offering industry demanded skills courses to make learners more marketable and industry ready, facilitating JIT education & CPD through nano degrees via online courses & proprietary curriculum. We maintain Learners dynamic profile with skills mapping for future job market & recruitment. Our courses have created employment scopes for 187 students till now. We are the first Bangladeshi platform to introduce online learning catering to special needs. Our Multimedia Talking Book developed with a2i are DAISY standard accessible, printed & digital braille books of national curriculum for grade 1-10. We have converted 33 primary & 72 secondary school textbooks for students with print & visual disabilities.

How has it been spreading?

- 2,850,313 page reach
- Ranked in the top 4 among local EdTech competitors in Meta’s business data.
- Community level engagement via our LEAD talks, we have shared over 75 unique inspirational stories
- Government promoting our coding program in public schools at a district level

Since we have a strong standing at the professional development level, our target is to move ahead in job matchmaking using a AI based job portal - matching opportunities with the right verified skill sets.
We would also like dissemination at a district level of our coding program, as an after school program in every government school, in alignment with the digital classroom initiative of the government of Bangladesh, and to develop a full disabled friendly curriculum.
