Inspiration

Being teachers in our past and working in software development fields, we always felt that we could do some much more to democratize quality education. When we used to teach in schools, we figured out that there was a lack of quality teachers in Bangladesh and the quality teachers were not interested in the teaching field due to lack of monetary incentives. We figured out that there was a lack of community-driven learning platforms and we were inspired to build it to make sure the citizens of Bangladesh get quality education.

What it does

The messenger bot provides information about Teach It and provides notification of the Live Classes that we are initiating from our Teach it Page. The messenger bot also provides Quiz for Grade 5 students so that the students can assess themselves and ask questions to teachers on our page based on that.

How I built it

We used Chatfuel to build the messenger bot. We incorporated text, videos, quick replies, and notification system to make sure the users get notification of the Live Classes and enroll themselves in quiz.

Challenges I ran into

We were new to Chatfuel. So we had to learn it for one day and work on it for four days to make sure we provide a standard user experience.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are graduated from the Startup School by Y Combinator. We were on the top 6 startups of the incubation program by Banglalink, one of the top telecommunication companies in Bangladesh. We got a preseed grant from the Queens Commonwealth Trust.

What I learned

We learned that building a messenger bot is easy even if you are not a coder. Moreover, you can build a great experience for learners using a messenger bot.

What's next for Teach it

We are trying to build our platform 'www.teachit.online'. Also, we are trying to build a great experience in providing Quizzes through the messenger bot. In the future, we will try to incorporate our messenger bot in every form of communication and try to incorporate features to reach our services to many.
