The Learners' Loft

Empowering IB Students for Success

The Learners Loft is a platform dedicated to empowering IB students by providing a hub of resources, strategies, and workshops for them to excel in learning. It started with an aim to support IB students in my country, Pakistan, as there are relatively few schools offering the program, however its outreach scales globally, aiming to help IB students navigate the rigorous curriculum.

Target group

I hope to see education become more student-driven, where learning feels approachable, collaborative, and inspiring. Instead of focusing only on grades and deadlines, students should feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow through real connection, where they feel heard. I hope to start this in the IB community, and eventually grow towards the underpriviledged as well.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created this innovation to support IB students by making IB-centric resources, tips, and study strategies more accessible in an inclusive, relatable way. As an IB student myself, I realized that many learners struggled to navigate the curriculum, especially in my community where IB is not as prevalent. The idea was to build a community-driven platform for students, by students.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, The Learners Loft operates as a digital platform, both as a website and an Instagram page, where I post engaging, relatable and informative content for IB students. This includes short-form videos, subject-specific guidebooks, carousel posts with academic tips, and interviews with high-achieving students. I've also led educational workshops, and plan on conducting more 'flipped classroom' workshops, where students choose a topic and teach it, to promote inclusive learning. Everything I create is designed with the IB learner profile in mind, especially reflection, communication, and being knowledgeable. One of my largest goals is to develop this project, in order to incorporate a blog, an all-inclusive podcast, and much more. The Learners' Loft isn’t just about studying, but about building a supportive, student-led learning community.

How has it been spreading?

I've been working on developing my project in numerous ways. Primarily, as a Global Youth Ambassador at HundrED, I'm working on networking with other ambassadors to gain and share insights on taking the next step towards growing The Learners' Loft. I have also collaborated with a peer who is working on building a project on AI, and we have applied for the Global Youth Action Fund, in order to make AI more ethical in education, especially in underdeveloped communities in our country, Pakistan. Additionally, I will be launching a blog this summer, where I will be collaborating with writers from all around the world to submit articles on education, especially in relation to the IB, in order to build a platform of shared growth.
