Ada Lovelace Foundation
- India
Simplix Educational platform is an Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Technology based solutions that ensure all primary and secondary school learners have access to quality, safe, and equitable learning environments inside their home during unprecedent times of Pandemic. I have been creating social Impact solutions.
But I seriously believe that this is my destiny and the proof of that is in the smile of thousands of children who are already changing their lives and sending me pictures and telling me about their achievements.
This is fantastic opportunity at MIT SOLVE has embraced me and that's why I want to be a SOLVER and I am applying for this life-change opportunity to children's and young learners. This prize may be not enough for some startups or Social Enterprises, but for us it means SCALABILITY. We have everything ready to start creating the BIG PICTURE. We just need need the perfect fund from the perfect partner.
We have a product that can be used for several purposes. One of them is education this is the foundation of everything. We can teach music to children and youth with Blind or low vision or with physical and mental health challenges.
Ada Lovelace Foundation, INDIA is an innovative technology Social Enterprise specialized in the production of a special and unique assistive technology device together with an Educational software platform. We have designed a assistive technologies accessories, and a Software solution that enables individuals with ability and motor coordination and cognitive challenges to use computers, smartphones, and tablets with ease.
Title: Candid Classroom and Covid 19: Simplix Educational Platform
Our Innovative Educational Program gives access to quality learning experiences in low-connectivity settings in rural areas and ensure physical Safety and mental health of young learners during Pandemic.
Our Educational Platform also support teachers, educators, Therapists to adapt their pedagogy, facilitate personalized instruction, and communicate with students and their families in remote and hybrid settings.
The COVID-19 pandemic in India particularly second wave has exacerbated the inequalities and hardships faced by young learners, vulnerable groups, particularly the poor, the disabled children and girls in rural areas. Children with disabilities already face multiple levels of exclusion.
We want to address unequal impacts and magnified inequality that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The main idea is young learners have access to quality, safe and equitable learning environments and guided independent work.
Title: Candid Classroom and Covid 19: Simplix Educational Platform
Empowering people of Ability and determination , especially disadvantaged girls and women with motor, physical and intellectual disabilities through the provision of specialized assistive technology solutions to access education and achieve more equal opportunities.
The assistive technology solutions developed by Ada Lovelace Foundation provide girls and women with disabilities with the ability to express themselves, to engage, communicate, learn, play and work and in this way to have more chances of accessing opportunities, in the best case to even find employment. In this way they are enabled to lead more independent lives and to become active and contributing members to society.
Children and Women with disabilities already facing multiple levels of exclusion. They will be particularly vulnerable to Education, health, employment and other social services are disrupted due to Covid-19.
With the aim of moving towards building back a better for Disabled Community that is “The Future they Want” and not the “The Future they Get”, our aim to act fast come up with disruptive ideas to effectively achieve a global recovery.
Organizations talk about giving jobs or enabling people with ability and disabilities to be economically sustainable, but first we need to educate them, and to educate them we need to include them in schools, in society, and in our lives. MIT SOLVE core values are inside our Mission and value proposition. We need tolerance, to achieve the development of People with disabilities to improve autonomy and make their lives become more sustainable. My inspiration came when in 2008, together with my team, we developed a complete solution for children from 4 to 18 years old, to learn music theory with a piano keyboard we had created, together with a gamification platform that children learned while they were playing. There are thousands of articles that say that we can change a human soul if this person until the age of 7, learns music playing an instrument. And we did it using technology. But suddenly, a girl with cerebral palsy tried to use our solution and it was very difficult for her. So we developed a big keyboard and when she touched and a sound came, she instantly started moving her arm that was non-functional for a long time.
In addition to generating a positive impact and strengthening institutional ties between the investor and the public education system, our educational program provides greater visibility, accountability, publicity and admiration by the general public. By supporting a mainly humanitarian cause, it also opens up with this impact investment, the opportunity to qualify productive labor and, consequently, to increase the employability of Persons with Disabilities, in compliance with the Quotas Law most countries issued in 2018, aligned with United Nations SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Development) and SDG 10 (Reducing Inequalities). In this perspective, our solution is also aligned with Agenda 2030's SDG4 (Quality Education). Also, we can measure this development by using our hardware and software tools. We are developing our Artificial Intelligence feature to understand the needs of each user because we know that they are UNIQUE.
We are working for humanity’s biggest challenges. People with disabilities are usually kept at home and left behind. We provide them with the same opportunities of going to school, learning and succeeding. We will also use the funds to build online data repository for the development of girls and women. We have Hardware and software Platform, understanding their response,
