I built a PSLE prep tool
Hello! I'm Mark Png, a dad and tech enthusiast from Singapore. I created an app to support my children's PSLE preparation, utilizing an A.I. assisted Adaptive Learning System (ALS) that I personally developed and trained with a decade's worth of Math and Science questions from some of Singapore’s top school.
As a parent, I found grading assessment books time-consuming and realised the importance of immediate feedback when I couldn't be there in person. Despite trying numerous online resources, none seemed to provide the adaptable, real-time learning path adjustment my kids needed. So, leveraging my engineering background, I set out to create a solution.
The outcome was transformative. Introducing a fun rewards system not only gamified the learning experience but also led to a significant boost in my kids' grades and their attitude towards learning independently. They even encouraged me to open the app to their friends and add features for team-based learning.
Here’s a screenshot of the app:
By way of background, I have 28 years in software development experience and I’m currently the Chief Technology Officer for InteDashboard, an advanced team-based learning (TBL) tool. This app was built with the advice and support of my peers in engineering and education.
If your children are in or approaching Primary 4 to 6, I'm excited to share with you both my journey and the app.
