*Describe the current scale of your tool and how you will expand the tool to different markets, contexts, and/or user bases. Detail the partnerships, resources, and capacity that will allow you to scale. Outline any strategies to address barriers to implementation relevant to your tool, such as technical, cultural, and education setting considerations.*
The majority of the effort so far has been on the design and development of the learning activities. Currently, we offer five learning activities across topics for 11th and 12th grade physics. The tool has gone through a few UI iterations after gathering feedback from beta testers. A pilot program is underway in a school in South Korea.
We have focused on making our activities, curricula and geography agnostic, leveraging the capabilities of LLMs to make the content and language culturally appropriate. Though we have started with High School Physics, our activities are coded and designed with a view to expand to other subjects and also other age groups. Over time, we plan to invest in a team of experts that can rapidly build content for the learning activities for a wide range of topics and age groups.
Our approach to scaling the platform is through partnerships with schools and teachers. We have reached out to physics teachers around the world and so far five teachers have agreed to participate as design partners and have agreed to introduce the platform in their classrooms. The teachers were contacted through cold reach outs on LinkedIn.
There are a few barriers to accessing the platform :
- Technology infrastructure. Currently, the platform requires access to the internet and is not available for use on the mobile. We are working towards creating local, downloadable AI models for offline use, and we will make the activities available through a mobile app.
- Language. The content on the platform is currently in English. We have ensured that the English is culturally appropriate using LLMs, and a similar approach can be taken to translate the activities in different languages.
