PROBLEM STATEMENT.

The existing educational structure, critically tested during the pandemic, underscores a pressing issue - the inconsistent accessibility and quality of education due to overreliance on government funding. The pandemic-induced shift to remote learning laid bare this disparity. Students in well-funded districts transitioned to e-learning smoothly, while those in underfunded areas struggled due to a lack of necessary resources.

Moreover, this period highlighted the potential for 'everyday learning' beyond classrooms, with teachers, parents, and learners showing remarkable adaptability. However, these innovations were born out of crisis, not a systematic approach to flexible, life-long learning.

Therefore, we must reimagine education as an equitable, life-long process, not confined by traditional boundaries. This involves developing new tools and practices for continuous learning, empowering teachers to reach beyond the classroom, and ensuring equal access to educational resources. Tackling this challenge is crucial to narrowing the education gap and transforming the future trajectory of education.

DESIGNING
A BETTER FUTURE

ANGLER PRODUCT DESIGN INTENT

Transform the way the world learns.

The Design Corps aims to build a modern ed-tech ecosystem that organizes teachers, instructors, leaders, courses, and learners in order to make life long learning accessible to everyone, everywhere everyday.

By doing this we will increase the number of people with access to schools around the world. We will enable people to apply critical thinking to the art of the possible and endow people with skills to enable the art of the doable.

This smart technology will ensure teachers feel more valued than they are in the current system. They will position them to earn more than they can in the current system. Our immersive interfaces enable learners to rapidly upskill in STEAMD Skills.
