About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Students in India and other countries in the global south lack access to quality educational content due to limited resources and connectivity. Inadequate technology, outdated equipment and challenges in distributing educational content to remote areas further hinders a conducive learning environment for students in rural and low income schools. This increases the digital divide.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Our offline first innovation provides a lightweight, affordable hardware unit that can transform any classroom into a connected learning space. Ontum ensures access to world-class relevant content even in low-infrastructure environments without internet dependency. There is an intuitive navigation system for teachers and students of all levels of digital competency, to access a pre-loaded content library that can be tailored to the intervention. The smart box overcomes to need to internet access or teachers to use data on their own phones through local server capabilities facilitating hosting and sharing of content within the classroom network. This promotes seamless collaboration and content distribution in shared learning environments. Ontum also provides detailed usage analytics to enable data-driven decision making. Ontum's smart classroom provides a low-cost, highly scale-able foundational infrastructure to empower schools to enter the digital age
