The Smart Class

The Smart Class project will equip schools throughout the region with a lab and a classroom. The classroom will have a somewhat of a holographic teacher to interact with them as if he/she were interacting with a large lecture theater of students. The labs, depending on their nature, will each have one robot. All will be commanded by the teacher and therefore demonstrates the experiment live before a larger audience of people. This way, understaffed schools can benefit and students will not go untaught. 

A very stark example of this is the lack of mathematics educators worldwide. It is even more true for rural schools which inevitably have smaller classes. Implementing such projects in those schools will help in some cases at least 4 schools be with a teacher instead of none at all. 

In one instance there’s a smart classroom with a holographic system. In the other there is a smart lab with a robotic system. 

This will impact underserved communities. Not only will students be more exposed to the subject they need to be taught, but to the power of technology and dreaming bigger! 

This challenge seeks to present an innovative, human-centered, tech-based solution. This solution is most importantly human-centered since it is philanthropic at its core. Being innovative and tech-based was the bells and whistles. 

This solution is a mere concept that would require passage through the full process from prototyping to scaling.
