I want to make an educational tool that can educate children on subjects learnt in school. This will be a functioning tool, a fun way of teaching the children without books with heavy texts. This will educate the children on the important parts of the subject but with it being fun, this will motivate the children to learn more. I want to do this because I am passionate about teaching and even more so with creating fun, creative ways of doing this.
