    'Appy' - A Learning Device

    The face of Education is changing in urban India. But many remote parts of Rural India are still neglected. While technology has virtually taken over every aspect of life in the city, many villages face problems like shortage of power, good buildings for school and various other basic amenities.

    My product, 'Appy' is an application designed with the aim to provide a setting to children of remote rural areas where in they enjoy education and learn from observing their surroundings. Involvement of the teacher and community is a must for small schools to flourish and captivate the interest of the child.

    Appy is designed to give children of rural areas a richer learning experience and engage them in the process of education such that they can make use of the available resources from the environment and put them to a meaningful and practical purpose. I have made an attempt to connect the school, child, teacher and community through this device.

    Appy Features:
    An application for Primary Students of remote rural areas.
    It will allow the child to:
    • Work on curricular content by learning from environment.
    • Maintain a picture diary.
    • Doodle, draw and record.
    • Receive updates on friends and additions on system.
    • Build upon anything that is uploaded into the system.
