SquareCrumbs Helps Teachers Conduct Outdoor Learning Trails with Students

Prior to developing The Remember App, the three-man team we wrote about last week has also developed another application called SquareCrumbs. In short, SquareCrubs is a mobile HTML 5 app which facilitates outdoor learning between teachers and their students.

The mobile learning trail app, in essence, aims to provide an interactive learning experience for students, allowing both parties to communicate real-time while being on an outdoor mobile trail. On top of which, students can also embed multimedia and location-based elements, which adds visual and audio experience instead of mere scribbling on pen and paper. Teachers are no longer restricted to the traditional methods of gathering feedback from students only after they return to the classroom. What’s more, SquareCrumbs is a web-based app, which also implies that users are able to access the app anytime, anywhere, and on any device.

The team at SquareCrumbs is pretty passionate about education, and they’re hoping to revolutionise the way we learn through technology. They’re aiming to help students learn better, and to date, they have already served over 1000 users, and already worked with some secondary schools within Singapore

And especially in a country like Singapore where a lot of money is invested in education, how the Singapore-based startup monetize is through payment from schools using its platform on a per-trail basis, which also includes data retention for a period of three months. The company is also bootstrapped at the moment with no investors.

So what is SquareCrumb’s future plans? Co-founder Chua Ruiwen tells us:

We believe that a cross-platform strategy will make SquareCrumbs be more accessible to students and teachers as compared to a solution that locks users into one platform or another.
