Challenge : 

 I work for an initiative seeking to help young learners in rural communities in East Africa catch   up with the current digital driven society . This we do by partnering with local communities to run   after - school digital literacy training programs . Our current challenge is to create support system   for the learners we seek to reach by diversifying the training to also train teachers and parents .   The project scope will be to establish the willingness and availability of parents and teachers to   take such training and how much they are willing to pay for the training . The big picture is to use   returns from adults training to support kids training which is offered free of charge . 

 Selection : 

 We selected learning launch tool to test ideas we had gathered from engaging with parents and   teachers and check the most viable approach to address the challenge . Given we had more   than one idea , learning launch tool would give us chances to pivot and build up through lessons   to the most feasible idea . 

 Application : 

 First , we asked for a meeting with parents and teachers association ( PTA ) . During the meeting   we engaged with parents and teachers on “ What is ” situation in the community in terms of digital   divide among their children and the community in general . We shared with them data we had   collected , observations we made and statistics drawn from different sources . Then we asked   them to share with us “ What if ” ideas , what if everything was possible , what would they wish for   their kids ? From the collected responses we developed a database of “ What wows ” ideas . We   identified a small diverse group comprising of students ( boys and girls ) , teachers and parents ,   community leaders ( elected and opinion ) leaders , experts and interested parties from our   network who we thought would be resourceful to help us come up with top 3 “ wooooowest ”   ideas . To engage them we planned for meetings , made calls , and established focus groups .   Next , we went out to test “ What works ” by experimenting the top three ideas on their minimum   viable product versions . 

 The first hypothesis test for “ wow idea ” was : - What if we could train parents with small business   how to use technology to improve their small businesses . Parents would have more time and   resources to support their kids learn technology . To verify this we interviewed 15 parents with   small businesses on challenges engages while trying to use technology in their business . Then   developed curriculum and training based on the challenges noted . We would measure the   number of parents who would be willing to sign up , attend and pay $ 30 for a 2 hours per day for 

 6 weeks training . We set the success rate / truth criteria to be right if 10 parents would graduate   from the program . 

 Insights 

 We noted we could have increased the quality of data by increasing the number of parents   participating in one cohort from 15 to 20 . 

 Approach : 

 We noted we could have involved more local participation during the “ What is ” session . The   more the merrier and even if they do n’t have more insights , participation drives ownership which   is key while working with rural communities .
