1. HANDRAISERS

2. PROBLEM
Students don't have a dedicated platform to communicate with teachers and students outside of the classroom, to ask questions, provide feedback, and get supplemental information.
Some of us are afraid to raise our hands in class, and HandRaisers solves that problem.

3. SOLUTION
We have created a purely educational messaging application that provides a way for anonymous online class discussion among students, and one-on-one teacher-to-student conversations.

6. HOW IT WORKS Teachers and educators can monitor the chat

A machine learning chatbot that can answer questions immediately.

7. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
HandRaisers uses machine learning-based AI algorithms and will become "smarter" as more people use it
The AI is used by students if the teacher is unavailable
We are reutilizing existing technology to speed up prototyping and lower development costs
We have already validated it with both students and teachers.
