  An Edu Bus

Inspiration

Mobile Library System of Bishwo Shahitto Kendro (World Literature Center) in Bangladesh

What it does

A bus equipped with a library, a mini smart classroom with internet facilities, and staffed with instructors will travel weekly to rural areas in Africa. Students will have an app on their smartphones where they can view the bus schedule and location, access homework assignments and study materials, and recharge or purchase data packs. Using the bus's Wi-Fi, students can download all necessary materials to study until the bus returns the following week.

How I built it

Designed the Bus by Paint, Prototype of the app, made by Thunkable.com

Challenges I ran into

Development of the prototype and designing the Bus.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I build an app (though it is very basic) for the very first time in my life. I think the idea is pretty simple but effective. Making simple applications like this can change the life of thousands of illiterates in Africa.

What I learned

How to make pretty cool app with thunkable.com, How to build a mobile school system.

What's next for EduFriend

The app is just a prototype. But if I learn more about Android App development, many features can be added. Use of Artificial Intelligence can make it an effective application. Besides, the Mobile School System is very much implementable and cheap. I hope African Library Project will think to apply this.
