3Teecha is an open-source, solar-powered offline AI teaching device designed to address the educational crisis in underserved communities. It facilitates collaborative discussions among students and equips teachers with essential upskilling resources.- Innovative Technology: 3Teecha leverages localized artificial intelligence to provide high-quality educational content tailored to the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). This ensures relevance and alignment with national educational standards.
- Accessibility: By operating offline and being solar-powered, 3Teecha can function in areas with unreliable electricity and limited internet access. This feature is crucial for reaching remote communities where traditional teaching methods are impractical.
- Collaborative Learning Environment: 3Teecha promotes group learning by enabling multi-student interactions, fostering teamwork, critical thinking, and peer-to-peer learning. Research shows that collaborative learning can enhance student engagement and understanding (Johnson et al., 2014).Citations:- Johnson, D. W., Johnson, R. T., & Smith, K. A. (2014).

3Teecha aims to enable AI for all by equipping and upskilling teachers with essential resources while ensuring that every student has the opportunity to benefit from AI technology in education.- Addressing Teacher Shortages: Kenya faces a significant teacher shortage, with over 100,000 educators needed to meet demand (World Bank, 2020). eTeecha provides a scalable solution that allows teachers to manage larger groups effectively, alleviating some pressure from the existing workforce.
- Equitable Access to Education: By focusing on marginalized communities, eTeecha ensures that students who are often left behind can access quality educational resources. This initiative aligns with UNESCO's goal of achieving inclusive education for all (UNESCO, 2015).
- Empowering Educators: eTeecha not only benefits students but also empowers teachers by providing them with training and resources that enhance their teaching effectiveness. Studies indicate that well-supported teachers are more likely to improve student outcomes (Darling-Hammond et al., 2017).Citations:- World Bank.
