Inspiration

In Indonesia, over 55% of children in rural areas face significant barriers to quality education, particularly in essential skills such as communication, leadership, and collaboration. Although academic access has been significantly improving, life skills training is often overlooked and remains underdeveloped, leaving millions of youth unprepared for future jobs and social leadership roles. As a student, these infrastructural gaps inspired LEDLAB. LEDLAB is introduced to offer a fun and accessible mobile app that turns leadership training into an interactive game, giving youth the chance to grow critical life skills while also having fun.

What it does

LEADLAB is a gamified mobile app that empowers youth in underserved areas to develop leadership and life skills through fun, interactive experiences. The app includes real-world missions, team projects as quests, daily soft-skill challenges, and trackable digital badges. Teachers and local mentors are equipped with lesson guides that align with the app's activities. The UI for LEADLAB is designed to be simple, inclusive, and scalable for youth of all backgrounds and literacy levels.

How we built it

LEADLAB was created using a no-code platform to rapidly build the prototype in under 48 hours. Figma was used for UI/UX design, focusing on accessibility and engagement, especially for younger users. The educational content was curated from reliable resources that provide guidance and activities for teaching youth these soft skills.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

LEADLAB is a testament to how the app prototype clearly communicated its mission with real impact.
LEADLAB has successfully designed interactive learning flows that could be used by both teachers and students.

What we learned

Throughout making LEADLAB, I learned to work under pressure as time is limited. Combining creativity and the need for a real world impact also plays a huge role in the ideation.

What's next for LEADLAB: From Learners to Leaders!

Due to the constraint of time, LEADLAB covers most of the core features; however, plans of expansion such as more features and ensuring relevant materials for age groups will be added. LEADLAB is planning to collaborate with local schools and education NGOs in both rural and urban areas.
