About Yiya Solutions

Yiya Solutions works to develop resilience and creative problem solving in African youth through experiential STEM education. They aim to create the next generation of African innovators and inventors by teaching young people to use the engineering design process to apply science and math topics from school to solve real problems in their local communities.

About Their AI Solution

In 2020, Yija launched AirLearning, an offline remote learning program designed specifically for rural communities without internet, smartphones, or access to academic materials. By leveraging low-cost digital tools (radios and feature phones) that youth already have, Yiya has reached 40,000 youth since 2020, with an 80% course completion rate.

To increase the accessibility of AirLearning STEM courses, Yiya developed AirVoice, Africa’s first AI tutor, accessible completely offline. Trained on Yiya’s STEM and entrepreneurship curriculum, AirVoice can understand the speech of low-literacy learners and respond conversationally through a simple phone call.
