The Future is Here

AIM:

1. TFiH aims to collaborate with students worldwide and come up with solutions to make learning easier for everyone.

2. This will be an experiment of sorts and we look for workable ideas from everyone to execute this plan.

3. Keeping it low cost so that the same can be delivered to children and adults from any financial strata.

CONTENT CREATION GUIDELINES:

1. Choose any topic from basic maths and/or English. Make a list of 10-20 questions with their detailed solution in a word file. The questions should start from a basic minimum level of difficulty and reach moderate to high level of difficulty for the last question. The content should flow in a way so that a child who doesn’t understand English well can also read, understand and try to answer the question. In case the child is not able to solve it, then he or she should be able to look at your detailed solution to understand the way to solve that particular question. Clarity and communication is the key. 

Suggested topics, but not limited to:

a. Numbers, Algebra, Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), Calendar, Basic Statistics – Average, Ratio and proportion, Profit and Loss, Percentages, Simple and Compound Interest, Work and time, Discount, Age sums, Linear equations, Elementary trigonometry, etc.

b. Syllogism, Logical Analogies -2, Arrangement, Odd one out, Necessary Condition, Clocks and Calendars, Blood Relations, Ordering and Ranking, Series, Directions, etc.

c. Learning the English Alphabet, words, sentences, grammar, etc.

2. Please make sure that you do not copy the questions from any other source. 

3. You could choose more than 1 topic and submit multiple submissions, as long as they are not from the same topic.

4. Use your imagination and creativity to come up with whiteboard animation, videos or anything you prefer to supplement your content. There is no restriction or limitation on exploring your ideas. The focus should be on ease of learning.

5. Participants will have to ensure that they are not submitting any Copyrighted content as anything and everything you submit may be used to develop free learning content for anyone who wants to use it.

TIP:

1. Simplicity is the key.

2. Creative story telling is more important than questions without context.

3. The content will be tested for feedback by school children, not rocket scientists.
