Mind Mapping to solve online rural education during COVID 19 in Peru 

 Challenge 

 In Perú we have a rural population almost entirely disconnected of the world . Almost 90 % of rural   population does not have access to Wi - Fi : this due to the plains , mountains and difficult access   accompanied by the neglection of the government . During the pandemic , all schools closed and the   only alternative to continue all children´s education was through TV or online classes . 

 Peruvian public education is low quality , so the scarce quantity of families in poor areas who had   smartphones or TV received 3 - 4 hours of class in only two subjects : math and communication . This   classes were not personalized , and children ended up with many questions and were unable to   understand nor learn at all . 

 A group of young university students , including me , had the idea to create a program to give tutoring   sessions to kids in really poor areas through our smartphones . “ Por un Perú Mejor”- ( For a better   Peru , in English ) At first , we thought the whole organization would be easy , but after a few weeks   we created a page in Facebook and Instagram hundreds of parents contacted us for free tutoring   lessons on many subjects . We needed to create a new way to manage all this information of children   entering to the program and , we needed to include more tutor volunteers and manage them   correctly , like a real NGO . 

 Selection 

 As we learned at Unit 3 of this course , Mind Mapping is a useful tool to find patterns among wide   amounts of data . Having many inputs on the educative problems many Peruvian children were   having during online classes , making mind maps within the organizational leaders of our   organization , we were able to group ideas and solutions to manage better the children and   volunteers to better help children learn adequately . 

 Application 

 Analyzing our databases , we saw that Math , English and Communication ( Spanish grammar , reading   and writing ) were subjects highly requested for tutoring sessions . So , after viewing this problem , we   made a mind mapping workshops where we exposed the actual challenges of the organization . We   all visualized the problems and concluded that we needed to prioritize the organization of the   volunteers . 

 After this , we made another mind mapping activity were each member proposed a solution . The   most common solution was to separate the volunteers in groups and supervise them constantly ,   give them feedback , give them workshops and help them make their tutoring sessions better . After   a discussion we separated our organization into subjects , making teams of volunteers , assigning   heads or leaders for each subject to supervise tutors while prioritizing . 

 Insight 

 I think that having knowledge on how to correctly mind map to organize ideas in a group of people   has make our journey easier going . We are a lot of people trying to help as best as we can in our   children education . We all come from different backgrounds , careers , universities and we have   different ideas that we need to first visualize and organize to start working upon a well - thought   solution . I studied Industrial Engineering and found this tool very useful when following a Design   Thinking process not even in a group but alone . One single mind can draw a lot of solutions to a   problem , we can be very enthusiastic taking into consideration we as engineers think we can have   a solution to everything . The key on mind mapping is to prioritize and visualize which solutions are   the best for that moment . 

 Approach 

 Mind mapping has also helped along when trying to decide what we were going to do with the   money many Peruvian organizations gave us to better our tutoring system . First , we thought on   giving free internet to some rural areas but that was expensive and not all children in the program   will have access to it . We have many ideas on what to do with the money just because we had it .   But after a mind mapping session we realized that just now we do n’t need to use that money . We   were just starting and maybe we should try save it and first organize our internal processes . Mind   mapping gives you many solutions but sometimes you need to question every solution by   understanding if it is a short- or long - term solution what you need right now . 

 This course and this tool opened my analytic ability to approach data , problems and solutions . From   now on I am not looking data as before . Data speaks by itself and is extremely valuable to every   organization . Even more for an NGO that tries to help people with this information .
