Quality Education

What is the problem you found?

How might we create a search engine for young people which is guided by teachers and parents? The existing children's search engines are not safe, these search engines are constantly hacked. Not only do hackers breach the firewall but scammers are scamming vulnerable children. 

Customer / Problem

Our customers are parents and schools because they are buying the app for their kids. Our problem is that children are not learning much and are not safe. the vulnerable kids are being scammed and hacked, the children do not know what is happening though. 

What Is Your Solution?

Our solution is KOSSA, a kid-safe search engine with online education. KOSSA is the safest search engine it has the best firewall to stop hackers and scammers from preying on vulnerable children and taking their IP addresses. This is a problem because with the IP address you can access and hack their computer and belongings.

A prototype of our website can be viewed here.

Support Required

Advice

Our group needs advice for our website, we need advice from an adult to see from their perspective how it would look. Because KOSSA is controlled by parents/teachers for safety we would like advice from adults to improve the safety of children.

Development

KOSSA needs development support for expanding our ideas. When we expand our ideas this could potentially make our company bigger in numbers by making it better. We can always find things to improve on, and KOSSA can always find room for improvement. Development support will help us develop our ideas better, this means better software and new updates for our website KOSSA.
