About The Customer
Qask primarily serves Australian students who are in need of personalized tutoring. These students are part of an education system where classrooms are overcrowded, and teachers are unable to provide individual attention due to their large workload. The students have diverse learning preferences and face a wide range of academic challenges. They are in need of a solution that provides one-on-one support, tailored to their unique learning styles and academic goals. Qask also serves international tutors, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to effectively tutor Australian students.
The Challenge
The founders of Qask, Tan Krishna and Athreya Kannan, identified a significant challenge in the Australian education system. They noticed that classrooms were overcrowded, with an average of 27 students per class. This high student-to-teacher ratio made it difficult for students to receive personalized attention, which is crucial for effective learning. The teachers, handling multiple classes, were overwhelmed and unable to cater to the individual learning preferences and needs of each student. This situation was detrimental to the students' academic performance and overall learning experience. The founders recognized the need for a solution that would provide one-on-one support to students, tailored to their unique learning styles and academic goals.
The Solution
To address this challenge, the founders developed Qask, an app that connects Australian students with personal tutors from around the world. The app allows students to set their preferred time and date for weekly lessons. They are then paired with a personal learning mentor who is available at that time. The mentor gets to understand the student's learning preferences and goals, and uses the tools provided by Qask to build a personalized learning schedule. The app also helps international tutors become more familiar with the Australian Syllabus, enabling them to provide effective tutoring. Qask was built on Bubble, a no-code platform, which allowed the team to quickly put together an application and iterate based on user feedback. The app's development was supported by an accelerator program, which helped the team raise $30,000.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
