 We're here at CBS 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya and I'm very pleased to be joined this morning by Duncan Machama who is Business Development Manager for Brick Education. Duncan, thank you very much for being with us in the studio this morning. Now you're here as one of the young innovators, you're creating technological innovations here for socioeconomic development. Now here in the studio we've got a big black flight case here which I don't think it's about your personal hovercraft or your collection of shoes perhaps you could tell us a little bit about that open up the open the case and tell us what you brought with you today. Yeah so this is our holistic educational solution which we hope to digitize classrooms across Africa. So our vision is to enable the millions of children across emerging markets to get access to digital tools for better learning. So what I have here is 40 tablets, it's 40 tablets rugged to withstand the drops, the spills, the scratches that the kids actually have when they're doing their education. I have 40 tablets here and the operating system is locked on the land play and grow system because we understand as Brick that that is the entire cycle that kids go through. So in the play section we have memory games, we have digital literacy games that enable students actually have good memory. In the land section we have partnered with digital content providers like Elimu, Ikitabu who have digitized their content. And then in the grow section we have extra curriculum content where kids can learn about digital safety, they can learn about responsible citizenship, they can learn about vision 2030 here in Kenya agenda 2063 in Africa or even the sustainable development goals. All this is is going in this key tablet. And there are 40 tablets in this kit is that right? Yes, we're developing and designing the solution. We realize that if you go over 40 students then the student-teacher ratio will be there will be an imbalance. So that's why we designed our solution just to fit exactly that. And in terms of how they connect up their tablets here to the content, how does that work exactly? So here we have a micro server where all the contents are stored here. So for digital safety we have locked down the operating system as I told you before. All the content is loaded here and then it broadcasts to the 40 tablets. There are no cameras on the tablets as you can see so that we can ensure digital safety. If you walk away with this tablet then it will be useless to you. And so you're able to modify the content and update it etc. Yes, yes. And how do they do that? How do the teachers do that? So three ways you can you can accomplish that. One is by actually having a USB stick put it in here and then you can be able to update the content. The other way is you can do it over the internet. So the brick here has GSM capabilities. There's an Ethernet capability. So at night when the students are sleeping then the tablet is actually uploading content into it. Yes. And what about the power for this? Because I mean I know my daughter's got a tablet that she uses at school but she often forgets to charge it etc. What happens to these tablets? How can they be charged? Fantastic. Now we designed our solution is designed for Africa. We understand that we have infrastructure problems which mainly is power and connectivity. So our KioKid has only one charging port and the tablets themselves charge wirelessly. So if a kid actually just drops the tablet in in any direction then it can be able to charge wirelessly. At night it charges for six hours and during the day it can take the entire school day. And what kind of feedback have you had on this so far? In one of the schools that we had, they were performing poorly. The kids could not read. But now with the games, with some of the story books like Ubongo, now we found that their test scores actually went up in the great school. One of the schools actually topped the constituency. And it's more fun in class. Kids are asking more questions. Their curiosity levels have increased. And now they can be able to solve basic problems. So that's the kind of feedback we're getting when you're establishing the KioKid. And in terms of the tablet, you developed this tablet. Did it start off looking differently or how has this evolved? Yes. One of the cornerstones that we have at Brick is a user experience. So previously these headphones were black. And we found that it took a lot of time for kids actually to know which earphones goes on which ear and the rest. So when the user experience team actually observed that, that's when now we actually color coded the headphones and put a big R on the right and a big L on the left. And we have actually established that even learning becomes, starts from there where the teacher says, OK, show me your right ear. And then where is your left ear? And then I'll put that there. Then we actually realize that learning begins there. Yeah. Great. And you're based here in Kenya. Yes. But you've, I understand you're offering the solution to the Solomon Islands. Yes. So you're expanding globally? Yes. Our team is based here. And we're trying to solve local problems. But we are constantly thinking of global problems. And Solomon Islands, Malawi, right now we're actually translating some of the contents into Spanish. And in terms of the future, how do you hope that this will grow for you? One of the problems that you're having in Africa is how do you actually enable? How do you build capacity for the disabled? So in our roadmap we are looking at making it friendly to the disabled. How can they get the experience better? How can we actually enable individuals? This is designed for school. Down the road, we're going to have individual tablets where you can say, as a child, go with it at home. Go teach your parents about the sustainable development goals. And the opportunities there are just immense. And in terms of an investment for a school, I mean, how much would this kit set them back? Our vision is to enable the millions of children across the emerging markets. So we have also made the kit very affordable. So with $5,000, you get the 40 tablets, you get the ruggedized case, you get the 40 earphones, and also the extendable charger. So that's the investment that a school puts in. So you're definitely making inroads there into affordability and accessibility as well. I wish you the very best of luck with your project. I know that you're participating in a session here at CBS 2016. Young innovators are going to be pitching their projects, pitted up against each other. And I know that the audience are going to vote at the end. Well, I wish you the very best with that, but it's very much obviously in the future as well. And we look forward to catching up with you at some stage. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
