EDUNEUR
Time for New Beginning!
The problem EDUNEUR solves
Despite our best efforts, our educational development remains at a low level.
The following are the main problems faced in the progress of
education:
- Lack of funds
- Expensive higher education:
- Problem of Brain drain
4.General education oriented - Most of the students in the age group 8-18 years have minimal knowledge about Sustainable Development .
This is primarily due to excessive focus on rote learning in schools . As a direct consequence , students are not able to develop practically and build their extra curriculars and ultimately fall into the impervious trap of factual learning.
Hence , EDUNEUR brings to the society an interactive , student-friendly and sanguine platform to bring a steep reformation in the way UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) works . My project is named EDUNEUR because it is a combination of two words that is education and entrepreneurship.
In order to bring sustainable reformation in the world , it is necessary to implement ntrepreneurship along with sustainability .
My project works on the following intrinsic principle :
'Each person who takes a step ahead on the lane of sustainable reformation is educated & an entrepreneur.'
Furthermore , our tagline 'Time For a New Beginning' conveys that we should start the reformation today itself since we don't have a planet B!! '
How does EDUNEUR implement SDG4 feasibly?
Introducing a new teachnique to encourage sustainability while engaging students in a practical-learning friendly ecosystem via the use of-
SDG based 3D models such as on SimCity Buildit (Dreenity)
Gamification on Minecraft Education Edition
Surveys , Polls
Illustrative presentations
If students are taught to build sustainable buildings as 3D models in their schools itself then later in life , this unique childhood experience will promote them to build a dreenity(DreamGreenCity) in reality to transform not only theirs but the future of many upcoming generations .
Challenges I ran into
Building a hackathon project is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor that requires significant effort, creativity, and dedication. As a solo hacker, I encountered several challenges while creating my project, but with determination and perseverance, I was able to overcome them and create a project that I am proud of.
The first challenge I faced was selecting the appropriate Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to base my project on. With all SDGs being equally important, it was challenging to narrow down to one that I could create a fantastic problem-solving user interface around. After much brainstorming, I decided on SDG 4 - quality education, as I strongly believe that education is the foundation of a nation's SDG index.
Once I had selected my SDG, the next challenge was to develop a project idea that would incorporate the 3D models, live explanations of Minecraft Education Edition, and the creation of a dream green city. This required considerable time and effort, as I had to research and design a project that would be both engaging and impactful.
Developing models on SimCity Buildit app and Minecraft Education Edition was simplified since I had won the global GRUEN Cycle 2 (Hong Kong SAR) competition during my high-school which helped me to trace back and link high-quality models , therefore adding depth and meaning to my project.
Creating an amazing user interface was also a challenge, and I decided to use WordPress for this purpose, as I had prior experience with the platform. I spent considerable time designing and developing the blog posts, main pages, polls, surveys, Microsoft forms, and plug-ins. However, this effort paid off, as the final product was a responsive and user-friendly interface that added value to my project.
Lastly, the interesting theme of hackathon spurred my creativity & I was able to deliver a compelling video conveying my design and solve.
