Hi Albert, that’s an interesting idea

Yes, I am willing to collaborate with you all. How can we do it via online since we have this global pandemic?

Hi Albert, that’s a good point, it’s difficult to have a physical pushcart during covid19, how about an online one?

Hello Yes, we can do that via online platform. But I am not a developer. Maybe you can help with that. Try to check #37 that will address the problem for the gadgets since we are targeting poor communities and for sure, that’s their number 1 problem. They can’t afford to buy their own gadgets for online learning. Or is there an offline learning management system installed already in a tablet for example? What do you think? Because even if we can give them the free gadgets, the next problem will be internet connection. Thanks and waiting for your reply.

Totally agree! Maybe we can replicate what https://www.brck.com/education does, maybe contacting them!

If you need a web developer, you can be specific about his/her role and I can assign you the “Searching for Rare skill” status, so it can be easier to find your post

Thank you Giovanni for the assistance on this one. Yes, I really help for someone who can do like an app or website where the lessons. It is really similar to the “DIGITAL CLASSROOM IN A BOX”. We can copy their concept.

Very interesting concept. While is very well detailed the program, there may be issues in the execution and launch part.
Have you considered specific partnerships with local social org, local governments or individuals to map those young people? We should understand the key issues related of kids being out of school and/or streets – often other external forces are influencing on them and prevent to access also this pushcart classroom?
Access to internet? – or in-built offline software? In the second case, the weeks long program should be pre-recorded somehow, and the concept can be attached to the one of gadget distribution – making sure that you focus on the ultimate goals of bringing the learning systems.
Another question: how this concept interconnects with your previous experiences? there may be some specific aspects that I am missing and not considering for lack of deep knowledge:)

For the rest, the info given by Giovanni are amazing.
