This digital learning box helps bring modern education methods into any classroom. From Kenya-based BRCK Education, the KioKit comes with its own connection to the Internet and could completely change the way access to education is provided in developing countries. The kit is a Fast Company 2017 World-Changing Ideas Awards winner in the developing world technology category.
The digital learning box has a hard exterior (perfect for rugged conditions) and contains 40 tablet devices, a power source, Internet connection and content including digital textbooks, Khan Academy modules and language quizzes. The KioKit tablets are also optimized for the Kenyan landscape, unlike other tablet devices that are donated to schools in developing communities. They are resistant to dust and water and were created to survive hard falls from desk height.
