The purpose of elimu.ai is to help solve the global learning crisis—At primary level, 10% of children worldwide are not in school.
That's 64 million children.
The word "elimu" is Swahili for "education." We believe that a quality basic education is the right of every child, no matter her social or geographical background.
Build innovative learning software that empowers out-of-school children to teach themselves basic reading📖, writing✍🏽 and math🔢 within 6 months.
A collection of educational Android apps teaches children basic literacy and numeracy in a fun and engaging way.
Each child can learn fully autonomously, without depending on the availability of qualified teachers.
Each child is guided through the curriculum by our AI tutor Nya and her robot companion.
Nya automatically detects the current knowledge level of the child, and adapts the apps and content to best fit the child's current skill level.
The elimu.ai software is a platform of educational content and Android apps/games.
Each child is provided with a clear instructional path for learning literacy and numeracy as efficiently as possible.
As the child demonstrates mastery of prerequisite skills, the AI tutor gradually unlocks more advanced content.
All the code is publicly available on GitHub as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), released under the MIT License.
