Artificial intelligence teacher ed-tech school mobile app.
We are trying to solve the problem of not being able to continue schooling for school children when natural disasters like hurricane, rainfall flooding, cyclone, typhoon, wildfire, earthquake or others occur.
We have built an ed-tech mobile app so that school children can use it from a safe location like camp to continue their schooling.
We built artificial intelligence teacher into the mobile app to be able to attend to over 5000 school children at a time, and reply to their distinct varying questions all at once in less than 5 second.
We also made available a portal were the school children teachers can share live videos of class lessons with the school children.
We are solving the problem of not being able to continue schooling for school children when natural disaster strikes. Over 100,000 school children are affected by natural disaster that makes it difficult for them to continue their schooling. And incorporating an artificial intelligence teacher into the mobile app makes it very easy to reduce the cost of paying many human teachers to teach the school children.
We are serving school children who suffer loss of their school learning environment due to natural disasters like hurricane, wildfire, earthquake and other natural disasters.
We observe their school learning environment, and visit them at their temporary camp locations, see the challenges they face in continuing their education, and work on our solution to their problem.
Our solution makes it easy for them to continue their schooling using an education technology (ed-tech) mobile app that can be used from any location both offline and online.
My solution is an ed-tech mobile app so that school children can use it from a safe location like camp to continue their schooling.
We built artificial intelligence teacher into the mobile app to be able to attend to over 5000 school children at a time, and reply to their distinct varying questions all at once in less than 5 second.
We also made available a portal were the school children teachers can share live videos of class lessons with the school children.

- Pilot
- New application of an existing technology
My solution incorporates new application of artificial intelligence technology to teach the school children, and other new technologies like augmented reality which will enable the school children to augment things and learn about them.
And our model of incorporating a section where school teachers can share live videos to the school children is considered as a good approach.
Other ed-tech solutions exists according to here, but my solution which is an ed-tech mobile app school is focused at school children who suffer loss of their school infrastructure due natural disaster or communal crisis, and my solution incorporates the use of artificial intelligence teacher and artificial intelligence data capturing to best tailor education learning materials to the school children who use it, and handle their questions effectively without exhaustion unlike would be for a human teacher replying to class lessons questions.
A write up on artificial intelligence education technology can be found here.
The core technology that my solution utilizes are:
1) Artificial intelligence teacher to teach the school children and answer their distinct varying questions all at once in less than 5 second.
2) Augmented reality technology for the school children to augment things pertinent to their education and learn about them.
3) Virtual technology classroom for the school children to connect virtually with their teachers and their fellow classmates.
4) Live streaming technology for the teachers to dispense live lessons to the school children.
5) VoIP calling technology for the school children and their teachers to call each other over video call or voice call.

I expect my solution to solve the problem we talked about because during natural disaster strike, school children and their parents are kept at temporary camps until the natural disaster damages are worked on. Hence during those times, our solution which is an education technology (ed-tech) mobile app can be used in a simple smartphone of the parents by the school children or they can use our ed-tech mobile app from their own smartphone.
My solution have all the necessary innovative unique ed-tech features built into it that is ready and capable to handle the problems she is built for. For example, our artificial intelligence teacher will never get tired of handling a class of over 5000 school children and replying to their individual distinct varying questions all at once in less than 5 seconds as in a natural disaster strike, many school children will be displaced, and recruiting human teachers to handle the crowd of pupils will be a challenge, hence the stepping in of our artificial intelligence teacher to solve the problem.

We are currently serving 1600 school children all over Nigeria.
We will be serving nearly 5000 school children all over Nigeria in one year.
We will be serving over 10000 school children across Nigeria, some African countries and other countries in other continents in five years.
My goal within the next year is to expand our operation across states in Nigeria and expand our users (school children) to over 5000.
My goal within the next five years is to expand our operation across states in Nigeria, countries in Africa and to other continents, and expand our users (school children) to over 10000 to 15000.
Getting enough funding to establish cheap temporary bases at camps of disaster affected people and using the opportunity to share our ed-tech mobile app school technology with the school children is a barrier that exist for us to accomplish our goal for the next year and for the next five years.
I am planning to overcome the barrier mentioned above by improving our ed-tech mobile app school fees and in-app charges, and applying to secure funding from fund givers.
