Description
In today's challenging environment, learning from textbooks is not enough for overall development of children. There is a need to learn beyond the classroom. This can be achieved through after-school educational, recreational and vocational classes. These classes aim to make learning concepts, real and relevant by putting them into a more realistic context. This helps kids to engage better and keep them motivated to learn. Since engineering and technology are foundations to our modern world, I was curious to find what kinds of solutions are available to keep children engaged in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) fields. I surveyed about 70 parents and a couple school teachers. The survey results showed that there is a big gap between demand and supply. The majority of the parents responded that they think there is a need of a centralized marketplace for STEM related extra-curricular activities. I propose to fill this gap by building an online marketplace that offers "supplemental STEM related experiences" created by trusted creators.
