Overview
Kitati is an edtech web app tailored for elementary teachers. It gamifies classrooms, sending students on a virtual journey where they earn points for teacher-selected values. Progress unlocks AI-generated tasks aligned with these values. At the end, students vote on an educational reward. Kitati offers rewards, tracks data, and provides insights for both students and principals, fostering a values-driven, engaging learning environment.
The Problem
Engagement in Elementary Education: Elementary school teachers often face the challenge of maintaining students' engagement and motivation in the classroom, especially for abstract concepts like values.
Lack of Tools for Values Education: Existing educational tools may not sufficiently address the need for values-based education and character development in young students.
The Solution
Concept: Kitati addresses these challenges by transforming the classroom into an exciting and interactive journey. It leverages gamification to engage students and promote values-based education.
Key Features: The platform allows teachers to select values to promote and sets up a virtual journey where students earn points and engage in tasks related to these values. It encourages cooperation and choice by allowing students to collectively select educational rewards. Kitati also provides comprehensive documentation of individual and group achievements.
Benefits: Kitati enhances student engagement, promotes values education, fosters a sense of community in the classroom, and equips teachers and principals with valuable data to monitor and improve the education process.
