With a mission to leverage ‘tech for good’, we partnered with Altius Foundation to build an affordable and accessible e-learning platform for school children studying in government schools in rural Tamil Nadu, India.

About the project

Lighterside of Real Estate

‘I Wanna Learn’ is an initiative taken by the non-profit organization, Altius Foundation, which aims to bring about a revolutionary change in the stereotypical constraints of learning processes in Indian education system. By offering learners access to premium content without any charges or technical hassles, the foundation closely monitors the correlation and dependency between the learners, the content type, and the learning environments. This approach allows for consistent improvement in their content and facilitation methods.


Aligning with Altius’ vision to provide free access to quality learning for every student, we designed the ‘I Wanna Learn’ platform to work both online and offline. This ensures that learners across various geographies can access the learning content regardless of the devices they use or the level of internet connectivity they can obtain.

Key Challenges

Lighterside of Real Estate

01

First tech touchpoint

For most of the kids, this platform was the first ever tech product they were going to interact with.

02

Create stickiness to drive outcomes

With poor school outcomes and extremely low engagement, the platform had to drive stickiness for learning goals to be met.

03

Tech Solution for Non-Tech Environment

Being primarily targeted for the rural segment, a key constraint was the lack of internet and electricity.

 

04

Low Cost / Low Compute Devices

The entire learning system had to also run on <$100 devices.

05

Building for Scale

With its ambition to reach more than 200 schools and 1l+ students in its first year, we had to look to build for scale from get go.

Solutions

01

Go learn with the kids

Our team spent lots of time visiting various schools, interacting with the kids and spending to understand a day in their life. Things that drive and motivates them. We were able to create unique experiences for creating credentials, building community led learning.

02

Lightweight, single threaded solution on Raspberry Pi

Built on nodejs and electron, we worked hard to make all our applications run on $100 Raspberry Pi devices.

03

First of its kind data sync mechanisms

In order to tackle the data connectivity, we built solutions that were low latency, sync using offline mechanisms.

04

Self directed, goal based learning

Working with leading learning champions of the world, our UX allowed kids to pick a goal. We created a personalized digital avatar that would provide context relevant nudges to get kids to finish their courses.
