Cambodia is a developing country which means the education is at a level that needs to improve. Well, there’s a Startup Weekend event that lets people join and find any products their want to do, then they discover it as a business.
As there’s an opportunity is coming so I’m taking it. My friends and I join an event. It’s my first time to join this program. The program spent two and half day full. They tell everyone if they have any ideas they want to pitch and work on, let tell everyone. So there are 10 different pitches including me. Everyone ideas interesting, also my idea not bad at all.
My pitch is an application that helps the grade 12 students to get prepared for an exam. The app will provide an summarize as simple to understand as possible. Also, it will show the basic point of each subject, if they still not understand there is the video to watch. The most exciting section is practiced!!! The unique about this app that students can post questions and we’ll answer.
So I have 7 members including me, two developers, one designer, one educator, two are the business. An event requires every team to make this idea turn to business and also impact to education.
Also, they taught us how to do a good pitch presentation and a great business.
My team did a very great job at working in a team. We had fun while we doing work and while we learn. My application call “Tos Rean(Let Learn)” and our quote is, “Let’s Learn, Let’s Pass”. Here is our prototype of an application.
Well, after we finished working we have to pitch to the judges and other teams. My team had received a contract from an organizer because of he like my idea before judges announced the result. I’m so excited for the result. It’s time!!! My heartbeat, boom! boom! Bom! very fast. The result shows that there are three teams win and all of them are ties. I’m shocked with the surprise because of my team also in top three. We all so happy with no words to say.
Judges and organizers want me to continue the project. I will continue the project because there is much help that will give my team. Based on this event make me learned many things about business. Thank my team for making a great work and also an organizer of the Startup Weekend Education Phnom Penh.
