EDUVITAMIN +
About your project:
Imagine a classroom where students are disengaged from the teachers and only care about
passing. Students who work at different paces handle the same materials, and there are numerous
tutoring sessions after school. This is the truth in many classrooms nowadays, and this is the
problem we are dedicated to eradicating.
Our product, EduVitamin+ is more than a software; it is a platform dedicated to reshaping current
STEM education. EduVitamin+ supplements teachers, coursework and examinations with
mentorship, a blog-writing forum and enquiry-based learning, promoting active and inquiry based
learning. We used WIX to build our website (bit.ly/eduvitamin).
Firstly, there is a mentor selection screen, with information about mentors such as their name and
institution. The main goal of mentorship is to build a STEM project, while learning valuable
knowledge along the way. Furthermore, there is an “Events” segment where mentors can set up
real-life events to meet students in person, as this is a crucial part of mentorship.
Moreover, there is a Blog section, which allows students to upload their weekly blogs about their
chosen subject. This will encourage self-directed learning and the dissemination of information
from various sources. Blogs can entail extension research, updates on the mentorship project, and
more. There are various categories to boost user friendliness, and a commenting function is
included to foster peer-based learning.
Furthermore, the spirit of enquiry and critical thinking is promoted through the Post-Lesson
Questions and Student-Led Challenging sections. Students will have the opportunity to inquire after
every lesson in the Post-Lesson Questions forum, letting teachers immediately evaluate students’
learning. In the Student-Led Challenging part of the site, students upload Blooket links to the site for
their fellow classmates to complete, consolidating the knowledge learnt.
We have continued developing EduVitamin+ by partaking in continuous weekly meetings with our
mentor this summer. We aim to create an automatic algorithm for matching mentors and students.
In the future, we aspire to establish a userbase of secondary students studying STEM, and
eventually implement our vision in CKY.
