Our first target was to help students maintain attentiveness during class, but now we ask ourselves do students really want to be focused in class? and if they do, how much are they willing to sacrifice to achieve it

On Sunday 18/11 we are presenting our research work to the lab. First, we present our need and why we think it is necessary. Then, we will show our validation process and competitive analysis in more detail, and at last- our vision. To help every student who is motivated to improve his classro
