Description

WonderTree is innovating education and physiotherapy for special needs children by making it affordable, accessible, and fun. We are doing this through gamifying conventional academic, cognitive, and physiotherapy exercises using augmented reality and artificial intelligence. With the power of gamification, the boring lessons or painful exercises become fun. And the power of technology makes our solution affordable, accessible, and scalable. The games also feature reports through which the progress of the child can be monitored. Here is a short video of our product: https://youtu.be/lDbqSg8t5U8
We have conducted 4 types of research showing that our games show 40% more improvement in children's development as compared to conventional methods for the same development. We have 6000+ active users. And we are deployed in Pakistan and Qatar. And we are conducting trials in Malaysia and Mexico. We are also working with UNICEF under their innovation program and Google under their SDG accelerator program to increase our impact and improve our technology.

Replicability

This project is replicable because it only requires a laptop/PC with a webcam and an internet connection, to be replicated. WonderTree's game has been specially designed to be intuitive and easy to understand, we have used minimum words, icons, and symbols for our games. Because of this people from any country, any language with any educational background can play the games. However, to make the adaption and usage of WonderTree even more acceptable, we are also introducing more languages. We have started the Arabic translation of WonderTree and we will be adding the Spanish language shortly after. We have already replicated WonderTree in Qatar and Malaysia and we will be launching soon in Mexico. We are doing this through a distributorship model where an organization in the country becomes WodnerTree's exclusive or nonexclusive partner and sell the product on profit sharing basis. We are also constantly working on optimizing our product, google is helping us in the optimization. The optimization is going to help us in running WonderTree on older and cheaper PCs and on mobile phones, greatly increasing the impact and reach of WonderTree.


Sustainability

WonderTree has been cashflow positive for the last two years. Our revenue model is subscription-based. We charge per user per month. We also charge less price from underprivileged communities. This allows us to serve underprivileged communities. We also have a corporate CSR model where a corporation pays for the hardware cost and licenses for the underprivileged community under their CSR campaigns.
We are also in the process of fundraising to scale WonderTree to other countries.


WSIS values promotion

We are promoting the values of WSIS by keeping in mind the people with special needs and working for their learning, accessibility, and their capacity development through the use of ICT. We are fulfilling articles: A13, A15, B29, and B30 of the Declaration of Principles of WSIS.
