DoyDoy-LearnSmartPlaySmart

By providing the affordable STEM engineering toy in extra-curricular activities and at home, kids from diverse background and social classes get equal education opportunity to learn STEM and define their talent which contributes to sustainable education and career path in the long run.

The problem is the lack of STEM stimulation in Cambodia education system. STEM education is expensive and not widely introduced in Cambodia while it has been practiced decades in developed countries. This potentially causes huge job displacement which hinders Cambodia’s development, employment rate, and economy. Thus, millions are and will be left unemployed as the major they graduated from is not relevant to STEM job, the top 10 highest paid jobs in the market. Thus, I create affordable STEM educational toy for the low-income families to provide change for their kids to learn STEM.

Some evidences describing how DoyDoy is the best solution:

First example: Schools in Phnom Penh such as Northbridge International School, Footprint School, and Stanford American School are using DoyDoy in their extra-curricular and STEM classes and STEM competition. They also use DoyDoy to teach geometry subject as well.

Second example: Earlier this February, DoyDoy was used as the role model to create educational tools for Cambodian primary-school students in Prey Chrey village (next to Cambodia-Vietnam border) by Korean company named miSociety Korea, and Ewoo High School in partner with Samsung.

The beneficiaries are the kids from 5-10 years-old from low-income and middle class families both in remote and urban areas in Cambodia. The impact of DoyDoy are the STEM skill development in every young kids and the creation of sustainable education to their higher education in university and future career path. It will be deployed to them by the exposure of DoyDoy with the time they spend playing and learning either in their classes or home using their basic learning skill: seeing, touching, and building with their visual creativity.

DoyDoy creates the future of ''learn and play STEM'' in the present. We makes simplicity and advanced tech work together by using straw, costless and accessible, to connect with 3D printed connectors, eco-friendly and sustainable, to build abstract dream in kids' heads into reality. It is not just another plastic toy on the shelf. It creates millions of future engineers and architects. DoyDoy is friend-to-family-oriented toy; it brings unity. In addition, living up our social enterprise vision, we offer affordable toy and make donation to remote schools. DoyDoy proves that kids can learn by playing and build their future. 

DoyDoy is human-centered because it is created:

1. To solve problem in STEM education for Cambodian kids, and other developing countries’

2. To offer affordable toy which helps decrease the financial burden

3. To develop STEM skill, and creativity so they can choose the right major when entering university.

4. To create sustainability for education and future career which helps kids ready for their future jobs. At national level, it decreases unemployment rate and prospers the economy.

5. To save environment by using eco-friendly 3D printed plastic material and practicing reuse method for straw usage.

It will be accessible:

• Export to other developing countries and even developed countries (for low-income families)

1. Manufacturing: 3D printers and its materials are expensive. Producing through 3D printer is very expensive and slow, but it is the only way possible at the moment. 3D printing technology is limited in Cambodia too.

2. Budget: I'm on personal budget with little support from my parents, personal-saving, and cash prize I won from CELLCARDLAB competition.

Being a young entrepreneur in a developing countries with limited resources, it’s tough, but I’m unstoppable. I always find a platform where my solution can be heard, helped, expanded and grown in order bring impact to my country. That's why I apply to Solve, a platform with rich resources such as financial and business experts that I'm looking for and needing. I want to become a Solver and make use of the resources Solve has to make positive changes in Cambodian education by injection STEM learning, offering every kids equal learning opportunity and creating more STEM games.
