Two Cameroonian students win prestigious Presidential Prize for designing revolutionary education app

Afopezi Moses and Kengni Mbou Emilie, students of the National Advanced School of Posts and Telecommunications Yaounde, won this year’s National Prize for Cameroon Students Ingenuity and Talent Contest (GETEC), after designing a revolutionary education application called Skolar.

Their mobile application won the 1st general prize out of 89 teams from 54 state and private universities, which participated in the completion.

The Presidential Prize, which is awarded to the university with the most innovative project, was handed to them by the Minister of Higher Education, Prof Jacques Fame Ndongo, during the just-ended University Games in Ngoundere.

Skolar, the app they designed, allows students access notes online, past Examination questions and solutions for GCE, OBC, and Concours in Cameroon, respectively, helping them better prepare for these exams.

What’s more astonishing about the app is the fact that they included an Artificial Intelligence chatbot in it, which is capable of providing results for any search, solving Mathematical problems, writing your letters, among other functions.

The app also contains a machine learning algorithm, which daily collects the user’s personal data as they study on the platform and will later orientate them based on this data.

Please do well to encourage these students by sharing the post and downloading their app on Playstore or Appstore.
