Gallant Institute

Gallant Institute would like to partner and engage The Elevate Price in creating Technical Capacity by cultivating Innovation in marginalized communities by enabling access to online multiliteracy platforms with bias in  Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math. 

"Productive Capacities are the productive assets and entrepreneurial capabilities that determine ability to produce the products and services which help them grow/develop." Productive Capacities Index | CNUCED (unctad.org)

marginalized Communities lack human resources to develop science, technology, and Innovation.  Thus we engage the alienated people in addressing the interwoven disabling hurdles like Education Apathy, Privilege and Economic Divide

Gallant Institute will create equal opportunity using the internet to give disadvantaged communities access to an online, modern, world-class education. 

We partner with International Education institutions making accessible their online, self-paced, and interactive multiliteracy education and international professional certification.

We allow Science, Technology, and Innovation to foster by facilitating the people to tinker and practice as they learn with modern technology in provided well-kitted workshops.

 By alleviating differences in privilege, we enable inclusivity in the world economy as they engage profitably in online work opportunities, thus Elevating opportunities for all people by building awareness in people, driving them to change attitude into action to solve.

My names are Moses Musau, a civil engineering graduate. I have acquired management experience as a contractor and engineer while working with private investors and religious organizations.

I volunteered free proposals of new school projects under a church umbrella anticipating construction works. I did some construction of the said donor-funded schools but under much duress. My lawyer friend advised that I let go and not litigate against the church.

Within the year, my kids were to begin schooling. Unfortunately, with no competitive preschools at my rural home, I soon couldn't afford fees; it hit me that I've built many schools and can build one at home! Though I've salvaged my situation via grit and my little education, others still face the evil circumstances bedeviling and enforcing poverty.

I learned how disadvantaged our neighborhood is in the education sector as a young man in dire straights.

Covid pandemic replayed and highlighted the challenge again with my kids' online schooling. What about our neighbors?

Being an under-employed resource living in my community, I feel obligated to do something about my community's challenges. I have resolved to do my best to give many a chance in life in the face of gross inequity/inequality.

 SOLUTION

GALLANT INSTITUTE applies education resources on the internet creating technical capacity by exposing villagers to free, interactive, step-by-step, Multiliteracy instruction platforms. Such as but not limited to:

Khanacademy,  Duolingo, Arduino, Autodesk_Design Academy, Microsoft_Imagine_ Academy, Edx, University_Of_the_People :

Pearson_Vue: Enabling online international professional certification

The Library is a computer lab with an internet-connected firewalled network to safeguard from attacks, optimize performance and safety

Gallant Institute also has well-kitted workshops: allowing learners to practice and tinker as they learn.

Workshop1: learning the practical application of Technology using Arduino kits Tinkercad_lessonplans.

Workshop2: tailoring, carpentry, and welding machines for vocational courses.

Workshop3: CNC machines for production courses  with Autodesk_Design Academy

The kindergarten: trained teachers and  breakproof tablets helping kids through online learning at Khan_Academy

Globally scaling will enable multitudes to participate in interlinked international production lines, earning locally and online. 

Gallant Institute applies the old-school library,  substituting books with online computers. 

Gallant Institute exposes and creates awareness of the excellent online academic and economic opportunities to the underserved communities.

We provide vocational course workshops for practicing and horning skills, significantly reducing the hurdles facing disadvantaged people and helping them recover from historical disparities that have caused them to develop despair and educational apathy.

Discontent with competitive life arises because people are subconsciously aware of privilege,  that others have access to advantages, and they can never hope to catch up without intervention.

Gallant Institute is partnering with accredited and internationally acclaimed education and professional institutions to Make accessible and Place their diligently prepared online education materials and professional certification resources amid underserved communities.

We nurture everyone's innate innovation ability by allowing them to learn the science, tinker with technology to become Innovators of reckoning.

 They learn to be active and keen at online discussions with academic communities and peers. We are enabling broader positive impacts from others in this space.

Works done:

• gallant Institute owns its water source (borehole)
• The community benefits from this source as they fetch water. We Supply to neighbors via metered pipes, including Kiongwani girls Secondary school of 600 students, 2.5km away.
• Gallant Institute started construction of classes see Facebook_Gallant-Girls-School-Kima(now_Gallant_Institute)

Machines bought:

Gallant Institute has started acquiring some assorted carpentry and wielding power tools. We seek more.

Parters sought

Gallant Institute is already engaging with high success various actors in the education and

other professional industries:

Parents /Family My parents have donated a small portion of their land to set up the Institute.

Government of Kenya: we work within the law, and the government supports Gallant Institute.

 We will start with courses offered by free interactive learning  websites and apps from the listed sites, among others;

For kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school kids

• Khanacademy,
• Duolingo, 
• Arduino,
•  Autodesk_Design_Academy, 

Vocational skills and Further studies

• Autodesk_Design_Academy, 
•  Microsoft Imagine Academy  
•  Edx, 
• University_Of_the_People, 
•  https://micromasters-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/

We are testing many of these platforms with my kids with great success.

 Pearson_Vue: we are requesting to be their examination center

There is a lot to be done, making my efforts seem insignificant
