EduIcan Sharing Knowledge
Challenges Entered:
EduIcan Sharing Knowledge will be social networking service where students will assist each other in their studies and do community service by using SMS service. The idea is to connect students from all course of life, different schools, communities  and also help students from public schools to learn from their peers in private schools. The education in my country has gone down and knowing that most of students have access to cellphones, it will be great that they use it for the goodness of their future.
 EduIcan Sharing Knowledge will be a social networking for students in the whole of Namibia. Students will be required to register for the service and they can choose the subjects they want to register for and proposed environmental projects they want to embark on. Every time they have a question in a certain subject they SMS their question to the code of that subject and the question is sent to all registered students in that subject who than can reply or comment on the question and is sent again to the group. Even those who didn’t ask the question will be able to learn from what their fellow students asked. They registered students will be required to team together and come-up with environmental projects on issues affecting their communities most. Climate change has also affacted the country in the past 2 years where by floods has been hitting the country and affacting lot of people. Surveys will be done on a monthly basis to see how the students are benefiting from the project and to access environmental projects they have created within their communities. They will be required than to implement those projects by sharing their solutions with the community and educating them on climate change issues.
The idea is to help students form diffirent backgrounds learn from their peers and engage students from public schools with students from private schools.
In addition: EduIcan is busy organizing English Literature competitions for students in Grade 10 - 12 in Oshana Region - northern Namibia.
