How Education Start-Up Enlighten Seeks To Help In Developing The Next Generation Of STEM Professionals

How Education Start-Up Enlighten Seeks To Help In Developing The Next Generation Of STEM Professionals. Enlighten is a startup that aims to develop the next generation of highly skilled Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) professionals, entrepreneurs and leaders. The company does this by connecting the needs of learners, parents and teachers in a single platform.

The company believes that the problem is that learners struggle to grasp certain concepts within the allocated school hours. It believes that they need more practice, monitoring and guidance after school which some parents cannot offer, due to many factors such as congested classrooms and limited hours allocated for school per day, teachers struggle to identify individual learner’s needs and give the learner the individual assistance they require. Parents struggle to keep track of their children’s daily, weekly and monthly progress, by the time report cards are issued it is already too late for the parent to identify areas where they can assist learners.

The platform allows learners to receive individual assistance, parents to monitor day to day learner progress and teachers to identify individual learner needs using data supplied by the platform. Skilled professionals such as private tutors, retired teachers and unemployed youth can give learners individual assistance but require a platform that will allow them to transfer knowledge at their convenience. This is why Enlighten seeks to pioneer the next generation of Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) leaders that actively participate in the global knowledge economy.

The company’s mission is to develop and provide high quality technology products and services to its clients through the following: developing customised education technology solutions for its clients; developing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship through its products; providing quality service to its clients and through providing continuous support to ensure its products remain user friendly. The platform allows learners to have live video and audio sessions with skilled professionals.

The platform uses analytics to monitor learner progress and records sequential methodology followed by learner when solving a problem. The platform allows learners to complete homework/assignments on the platform. The assignments are later uploaded and shared with other learners for revision.
