This empowers each child to learn fully autonomously, and at her own pace, without depending on the availability of qualified teachers.\n\n![global_learning_xprize_banner](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15718174/82724725-b8918600-9d0a-11ea-9775-76f653fa2a9c.jpg)\n\n[\n  ![educational apps and games](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15718174/82109205-c3767480-9766-11ea-947b-fa53cfcba767.png)\n](https://github.com/elimu-ai/nyas-space-quest)\n\n[![](https://markdown-videos-api.jorgenkh.no/youtube/B4pLVIHeqTc)](https://youtu.be/B4pLVIHeqTc)\n\u0026nbsp;\n[![](https://markdown-videos-api.jorgenkh.no/youtube/nKVHaz3_xJ8)](https://youtu.be/nKVHaz3_xJ8)\n\n[\u003cimg alt=\"Vitabu\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15718174/102108186-4796f480-3e3b-11eb-9375-4dcc53b60d7e.png\" width=\"420\" /\u003e](https://github.com/elimu-ai/vitabu)\n\nThe elimu.ai software is a _platform_ of educational content and Android apps.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e It is not one single app; It is a _collection_ of apps, all working together in a holistic manner. A child can make learning progress in one app, and another app will be aware of this so that it can adapt its content accordingly.\n\n---\n\n\u003e “Any sufficiently advanced technology is\nindistinguishable from magic.” 🪄✨\n\u003e \n\u003e ― Arthur C. Clarke\n\n---\n\n### Autonomous Learning\n\nThe software is designed in such a way that the children can learn fully autonomously (alone or in a group), without guidance from qualified teachers. Instead, an AI tutor (Nya) guides each child through the necessary steps. The AI tutor gradually unlocks more advanced content, as the child demonstrates [mastery](PEDAGOGY.md#personalized-learning-) of prerequisite skills. As an example; Before learning how to read a word, the child needs to master the _sound-letter correspondence_ of each sound composing that word.\n\n[![android_launcher](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15718174/82110563-ea867380-9771-11ea-8703-d63e381001eb.gif)](https://github.com/elimu-ai/launcher)\n\n\u003ca name=\"milestones\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## Milestones 📆\n\n### Short-Term Objectives (2025)\n\nSee quarterly milestones at https://github.com/elimu-ai/wiki/milestones\n\n### Long-Term Objectives (2025 → 2030)\n\nIn the long term, apps and content will gradually be created for target languages where the number of out-of-school children is the highest (based on [UIS Statistics](http://data.uis.unesco.org/)):\n\nLanguages | Country | Out-of-School Children (Primary Age)\n------------ | ------------- | ------------:\nSwahili | Tanzania | 1,745,627 (as of 2021)\n[Hindi](https://hin.elimu.ai), Bengali, Urdu | India | 1,722,440 (as of 2023)\n[Tagalog](https://tgl.elimu.ai), Hiligaynon | Philippines | 1,339,277 (as of 2022)\nXhosa | South Africa | 568,104 (as of 2021)\nIndonesian, Javanese | Indonesia | 345,716 (as of 2022)\nKhmer | Cambodia | 253,273 (as of 2022)\n[Thai](https://tha.elimu.ai) | Thailand | 106,430 (as of 2023)\nNepali | Nepal | 105,716 (as of 2023)\n\n\u003ca name=\"contribute\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## Would You Like to Contribute? 👩🏽‍💻\n\nHow can you contribute? Either by adding educational _content_ or by _engineering_ Android apps/games for the children to interact with the educational content. In addition, you can contribute with software testing and _distribution_.\n\n### Content Creation or App Development 🎶🎙️📱\n\n  * Contribute by creating or peer reviewing educational content (e.g. storybooks, words, sound-to-letter correspondences, etc). If you are fluent in one of the languages supported by the platform, go to the website matching your language and then press \"Sign On\":\n\n    * https://hin.elimu.ai - Hindi (हिन्दी)\n    * https://tgl.elimu.ai - Tagalog\n    * https://tha.elimu.ai - Thai (ไทย)\n\n    For instructions on how to add educational content, see [LOCALIZATION.md](LOCALIZATION.md#add-educational-content).\n\n  * Also, contribute by developing Android applications or Android games.
