The platform is optimized for various devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. This device flexibility is essential for scaling, particularly in regions where mobile devices are more prevalent than traditional computers.

This adaptability ensures ForClassmates remains relevant and effective in a wide variety of global contexts.

6. How did you engage local communities and stakeholders in your work, and what was their feedback? (150 Words Limit)

At ForClassmates.com, we engage local communities by collaborating directly with teachers to understand their unique challenges and needs. We hold regular feedback sessions with local educators, asking them about their teaching pain points, classroom dynamics, and the resources they require to enhance student learning. This feedback is critical in shaping our platform’s development. For example, teachers expressed the need for more interactive tools to engage students and simplify lesson planning. In response, we implemented features like gamified quizzes, AI-generated lesson plans, and easy-to-use progress tracking tools. We also integrated offline capabilities based on feedback from regions with limited internet access.

Focus on identifying which SDGs align with your mission and take concrete actions in those areas, whether through education, sustainability, or innovation. It's essential to set clear, measurable goals to track your progress and impact. Collaboration is key—partner with like-minded organizations, governments, and communities to amplify your efforts.
