Problem
Primary schools often lack the resources, expertise, and structured curriculum to teach digital literacy, programming, robotics, and related STEM topics to young students, resulting in limited exposure to essential 21st‑century skills.
Solution
galactIQ provides a web‑based teaching platform that equips primary‑school teachers with ready‑to‑use lesson plans, interactive episodes, and step‑by‑step guidance for STEM subjects such as media literacy, robotics, game development, and web programming. Teachers log in, select an episode, prepare the content using built‑in introductions, and control the lesson flow in real time, while students access videos, quizzes, and hands‑on activities through the same interface. The platform includes a student management view, password control, and on‑demand help resources to support teachers with no prior technology experience. Continuous training support (CTS) offers unlimited access to STEM specialists for personalized assistance and progress tracking. Both online and face‑to‑face classes are available, with subscription pricing that covers the curriculum, platform access, and training support.
