ICT4KIDS-Equal Opportunity

What Is my Product?

Firstly, it is a website created as a platform to connect volunteers to underpreviliged schools in order to promote digital litracy as an equal opportunity. Secondly, the solution designed in my website was implemented real time in one of the rural schools of India.

Purpose:

The purpose of my project was to provide an equal opportunity for digital literacy to underprivileged kids in rural schools, India. I planned to do so by providing an ICT infrastructure and curriculum. My goal was to develop an ICT enabled solution that is sustainable and to pilot it in one of the rural schools in India by the end of this assignment.

This was a step towards my Vision: for a world where underprivileged kids have an equal opportunity to be ICT enabled and ready for the digital future​.

Key Messages:

a) I would encourage my readers to take time to click on the slides attached above (two slides only ) to know more on the objective and solution details of my product. It explains What problem I aimed to address, Why it is a problem and How the solution (product) aims to solve the problem identified.

b) My goal was to make this project real time and hence I was not satisfied creating a website but wanted to test my solution applying it to one of the rural schools. It was a great experience contacting the Companies willing to donate the ICT infrastructure and fulfill the needs of this school.

c) My suggestion will be to select a project that you are passionate about and are willing to put in effort in order to realize the outcome. I chose this project as I was keen to know more about why there is a digital gap and what could be my contribution to bridge the gap.

d) Lastly, get going right from the beginning. Don't Procrastinate ;)

Good Luck and Enjoy!!
