Collaborative Knowledge-Sharing Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Initiative Helps Those Without Access to Internet

— February 26, 2016 — Social Good
'Project Empathy' is a new initiative that aims to help those without access to Internet. Around the world, there are many classrooms with computers that lack Internet access. This project aims to address the lack of web access by sharing knowledge between schools.

Project Empathy is a knowledge-sharing initiative that provides schools with tech-oriented web kits. Each of these kits contains a Raspberry Pi, a 64 GB microSD card, several USB drives and a number of other components. These devices come pre-loaded with information from the web, such as Wikipedia articles and pages from prominent organizations such as NASA. While the kits do not provide full-blow Internet connections, they do offer one-way access to web pages so that classrooms without access to the Internet can still benefit from online content.

The initiative demonstrates how organizations can overcome technical barriers to make the Internet more accessible to classrooms all over the world.
Trend Themes
1. Knowledge-sharing Networks - Utilizing collaboration and technology to share information without requiring full-blown Internet connections presents new opportunities for connecting people in under-connected areas.
2. Tech-oriented Web Kits - Creating specialized technology kits with information preloaded on them can provide access to online content in areas without reliable Internet access.
3. Overcoming Technological Barriers - By addressing the limitation of full-blown internet connections, organizations can explore new methods for providing online content to under-connected areas.
Industry Implications
1. Education - Providing schools and classrooms with knowledge-sharing networks and tools can improve education in under-connected areas.
2. Technology - Developing specialized tech kits and tools can address the need for online content in areas without reliable Internet access, presenting exciting opportunities for innovation.
3. Non-profit - Creating initiatives like Project Empathy allows non-profit organizations to fulfill their mission of providing solutions and making a positive impact in under-connected communities.
