Open Learning Exchange supports 1Room to develop and implement digital content in high-need Kenyan public schools.
1Room serves low-income urban and peri-urban youth in Kisumu City, Kenya, with a focus on helping youth who have dropped out of school and who need a ramp back into the education system, and youth who need custom remedial education to fill critical gaps in order for them to succeed.
1Room’s model uses a digital curriculum and flipped classroom to deliver individualized education programming using laptops and low-cost android tablets. The program operates primarily offline by hosting content on local servers (laptops or Raspberry Pi’s). A large portion of our digital learning material is created in-house to meet the specific needs of the Kenyan curriculum and to be culturally relevant to our students.
