Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Number of individual positions available: 5

Amidst COVID-19, a lot of opportunities for virtual education opened up. We have been delivering our children mathematic-based training program online over the past two years.

Goal of the project:

To develop an online accessible digital platform that supports linking musical tones while using a physical Abacus.

The tool will stimulate an increase in the ease and speed with which young children mentally solve the simple mathematical operations of addition and subtraction.

Project Objectives:

· To support the use of musical sound in conjunction with visual Japanese abacus (Soroban).

· By the end of this project , we expect to launch an accessible, online learning system using a digital abacus and sound available on most computers or mobile devices.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Scope: Stages of student involvement in the project

Guided by project manager, the students will experience the following stages:

Introduction:

· brief on the project, its purpose, and requirements

· frequent and regular communication with the project manager

Development:

· preparation of the digital platform development processes

· development of a database to record participant experiences

The project will develop two types of modules:

1. Abacus Beads Recognition Exercises (mapping of sounds with numbers represented on a digital abacus).

2. Listening exercise for students to add and subtract numbers using musical sounds and a digital abacus.

About the company

Amidst COVID-19, a lot of opportunities for virtual education opened up. Our company has pivoted our in-person children mental mathematic-based training program into two delivery models: i. Virtual classroom with a live teacher, and ii. Hybrid model - in class with a Facilitator and a virtual teacher.

Our current students are ages 4 and up. We are currently developing a new training program for toddlers and students with special needs.

Our products include curriculums and lesson plans. The main service is delivered to students through a virtual or hybrid setting in schools. We also offer professional training to educators.
