Inspiration

Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of more than seventeen thousand islands including Sumatra, Java, Borneo (Kalimantan), Sulawesi, and New Guinea (Papua). Indonesia is the world's largest island country and the 14th largest country by land area, at 1,904,569 square kilometers (735,358 square miles). With over 267 million people, it is the world's 4th most populous country as well as the most populous Muslim-majority country. Java, the world's most populous island, is home to more than half of the country's population. Indonesia is having a large amount of Natural resources. According to the article ‘OECD Economics Department Working papers No. 1236’ chapter ‘Making the most of Natural Resources in Nature’ by Richard Dutu published at OCEDiLibrary. Indonesia is the world’s largest Exporters of Steam coal, Refined Tin, Nickel ore. It is the leading exporter of Gold, Bauxite, Lead, Zinc and copper. Also, the pride moment is Indonesia is the World’s No.1 Producer and Exporter of Palm oil. It is also the World’s second-largest producer of Rubber, Robusta coffee, Fisheries product. The world’s 40% of the Geo-Thermal energy reservoir is Indonesia. Indonesia is not only top in the resources also it is the country with a 95% literacy rate. According to the YouTube video of Dominique Sierra named ‘Quality of Education in Indonesia’ in 2019, 200+ schools are established in Indonesia to provide education to 45 million students. The main reference for their learning is Textbooks and the preferred reference is the Internet. The average performance of the Indonesian teacher according to the International Student Assessment Examination in 2015 is 53%. 42% of 15 years old Indonesian students failed to achieve the minimum standard in education. According to the survey the students of Indonesian above 15 years old are possessing a lack of efficiency in the subjects of Science, Mathematics, Analytical skills, and comprehensions.

According to the video, they have mentioned according to the 26th Human Rights Article “Elementary education should be compulsory and free”, but it is not being performed by the Government of Indonesia. The major problems of the education sector are insufficient learning materials, poor facilities, sanitization at the learning place. The education level of Indonesian students compared to the other countries and their education system is Average. Problems that we analyzed:

  1. Problem of educational equality that is still unequal to one side in society.
  2. Problem with Educational costs.
  3. The quality of education is still lagging.
  4. Lack of Reading Interest and Academic achievement.

According to the macrotrends.net Indonesia, news article Literacy rate of Indonesian students below 15 years if 95.66%. The Poverty rate in Indonesia is 56% (under USD 5.50/Day) in 2018. The Youth Unemployment rate in Indonesia is 17.04% (They are available for work but not hired for a job). They are the youth aged from 15 to 24. The main reason is the lack of industry-level skills among the students of Indonesia. The availability of under graduation to youth is less and also the students of Indonesia are indulging in the work of manufacturing and factory. Industries in Indonesia is led by the foreign investors and initiators. This is leading to the back dropping of the inhabitants of Indonesia to participate in running the companies and bring the innovative startups. The Labor workforce participation in the grade 3 and 4 work is 47.40% among the youth of Indonesia (from 15 to 24).

What it does

The TigerTechs Edufirm is an academic support given the Indonesian students who are lack in the subjects of mathematics, science, arts, and languages along with industry-level skills such as soft skills, presentation skills, and many more. The Indonesian students are having access to all the courses and certifications in the online courses for free from our open-source website. The TigerTechs Edufirm collaborates with the many universities around the world. They will be providing small courses, e certification courses, and also e degrees. This is one of the two main purposes of the TigerTechs Edufirm. The main intension of the TigerTechs Edufirm is to bring the educational aids and other essentials for the students of Indonesia who are living in the remote locations of the Indonesia and also unavailable of having access to the internet and electricity. Many locations in Indonesia are not having access to the internet because of economical crisis. They are the people under the poverty level and not able to provide a valuable education to their children. Our main intension is to bring the resources from all over the world and provide it to them to excel in their life and develop the lifestyle as ours. The firm is not asking any kind of money as a donation or as a charity. We have embedded the form on the website where the people around the world can register their contact details to show their interest in supporting the underdeveloped people. Once we receive your details we’ll contact you and let you know the process of providing help. We seek the world to donate the books, pen set, bags, essentials, and other educational facilities to the children of Indonesia. We also seek you the career opportunity for the youths of Indonesia. They can courier their donations to the given address we mention on call or mail. Those donations or supplies will be received by our team and distributed among the children who are learning under our organization. This is the main and vital purpose of our firm. There is another key feature on our website, the is the RIASEC Career Test. Choosing the right career this important for everyone based on their expertise, interest, and passion. Holland’s theory posits that people can be categorized according to six personality types—Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional—known collectively as RIASEC. Use the interactive hexagon graphic below to explore the six RIASEC personality types in more detail. Holland's theories of vocational choice, The Holland Occupational Themes, "now pervades career counseling research and practice". Its origins "can be traced to an article in the Journal of Applied Psychology in 1958 and a subsequent article in 1959 that set out his theory of vocational choices. ... The basic premise was that one's occupational preferences were in a sense a veiled expression of underlying character." The 1959 article in particular ("A Theory of Vocational Choice," published in the Journal of Counselling Psychology) is considered the first major introduction of Holland's "theory of vocational personalities and work environments". Holland originally labeled his six types as "motorist, intellectual, aesthetic, supportive, persuasive, and conforming". He later developed and changed them to: "Realistic (Doers), Investigative (Thinkers), Artistic (Creators), Social (Helpers), Enterprising (Persuaders), and Conventional (Organizers)". Holland's six categories show some correlation with each other. It is called the RIASEC model or the hexagonal model because the initial letter of the region is equal to R-I-A-S-E-C when it is expressed as a circle connecting the regions of high correlation. Professor John Johnson of Penn State suggested that an alternative way of categorizing the six types would be through ancient social roles: "hunters (Realistic), shamans (Investigative), artisans (Artistic), healers (Social), leaders (Enterprising), and lore keepers (Conventional)". These are the services we are providing on our website by collaborating 3 different kinds of applications under a single website making that useful for learning enthusiasts to career decision-makers. We are not only providing education but also bring the donations in the materialistic form to Indonesia from all around the world. We’re also providing an effective method to choose the career wisely keeping their interest, passion, and expertise in mind. This will also help them in exploring a lot of job opportunities online.

How I built it

This website is built with HTML5, CSS3, BootStrap 4. The Backend is developed using Django and Gunicorn. Hosted on Heroku. The Database is set up using Amazon Web Services

Challenges I ran into

The main challenges I ran into is keeping my website by not disturbing the Law implementations over the Education system in Indonesia. One of our teammates has been stuck up with the rainfall and also been stricken by a disaster here. At the end of the Hackathon, he lost the internet connection and all other connectivity with us

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Some websites in Indonesia provides online courses and certification courses. For example, Ruangguru, Quipper, Khan Academy, and some more. They will provide you the online certification courses in the streams of your interest, but on our website you can get the free access to e degrees from many universities around the world and also from Open University. We are providing the e-Library on our website collaborating with Open Learn University’s Open Library. We have integrated the RIASEC career choosing model test to analyze your skills, interest, and passions to suggest you the best career for your personality. This is the new feature we have implemented in our TigerTechs Edufirm, which we haven’t come across around the EduTech in Indonesia. We have many NGOs and non-profit organizations working in Indonesia. They expect the citizens of Indonesia and the Government of Indonesia to provide the necessary educational aids and supplies for the students in the form of providing economical support for the organizations. But we don’t expect the economic support from the citizens of Urban Indonesia. Our organization accepts the materialistic support from the people around the world. The firm is not asking any kind of money as a donation or as charity. We have embedded the form on the website where the people around the world can register their contact details to show their interest in supporting the underdeveloped people. Once we receive your details we’ll contact you and let you know the process of providing help. We seek the world to donate the books, pen set, bags, essentials, and other educational facilities to the children of Indonesia. We also seek you the career opportunity for the youths of Indonesia. They can courier their donations to the given address we mention on call or mail. Those donations or supplies will be received by our team and distributed among the children who are learning under our organization. This is the main and vital purpose of our firm.

What I learned

Team management, Time management, Online coordination with the teammates, and also about the geological, economical, intellectual, social, and political positions of Indonesia.

What's next for TigerTechs Edufirm

We have just implemented the prototype of the website the major work is up to be done with the team of many enthusiastic developers, designers, and market analyzers. We have implemented the career guidance on the webpage; we want to enhance the firm like making a one to one mentorship for career guidance. We want to bring many universities on board to extend their support for giving e certification and e degrees to the Indonesian enthusiasts for free. Also, we need them to support the students residing in the remote areas of Indonesia. By our donation or charity wing, we want to bring the resources from all over the world and provide it to them to excel in their life and develop the lifestyle as ours. We need the team to reach all the kind-hearted donors around the world and to connect with the students of Indonesia.
