“Imagine explaining linear equations, geometrical constructions or even how to write a language to students. It is currently not easy. Teachers end up creating complex powerpoints which take a lot of time to make and when there is a slight change in the equation they may not be able to show it. Our solution allows the lesson to stay fluid and interactive by letting the teachers and students draw, talk, stream and discuss the problems seamlessly” – Mr Vikas Gupta said.
