I tried to get a single LEARN1 but I just couldnt find it. I got four of them
- Provide skills, not just finished technologies ,
- Make it inexpensive and
- Innovate on existing platforms
- Listen to the right people
I am a web developer and a gamer...
Being on these two bases, I have the "
I can make this real world a better place and have an epic win" kinda mindset (the one Jane McGonigal talked about on TED )
I have a Social Innovation that a mentor of mine and I are working on,
Its called
e-Stud (http://www.enjoystudies.com). We are trying to figure out problems that students face and remove them with whatever solutions we can figure out...
We are compiling standard course materials based on major institutions throughout India for now
The main aim is to promote education and improve the basic skillset of students
By students, I dont mean the ones that goto schools and colleges...
In the world that I see, all of us are students, learning something or the other as life puts it infront of us....
Now with that backdrop of me, e-Stud and all of you already know about the way Africa has been shown here, a place where we have just mobile phone and a bi-cycle...
I got an idea that we can make mass sms services for the uneducated and unaware people who will have to go far away for attending cla**** or people who are busy trying to make ends meet but do have the fire to learn... We can make short courses and make an interactive sms based system to let them send a course code and say a number of chapters they need every week based on their sms storage capacity, freetime from work etc and we will send them the course material we have compiled from e-Stud bit by bit...
being a web developer myself, I can make this system and we can have it running within the next 2-3 months...
What say fellas???
