The goal of Studio 5/6 is to foster innovation, imagination, and creativity through the exploration of cutting edge technologies in an inclusive and collaborative environment.
Under the wing of the Ministry of Transport and Communications’ Digital Youth Strategy, the platform’s ultimate goal is to build up a generation that uses technology not passively, but rather mindfully and skillfully.
STUDIO 5/6 is envisaged as a community platform that offers technology and allied equipment support for hands-on learning opportunities. Here youth can develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and innovation skills. This will also develop young people’s knowledge of technology and help them to become future creators of technology.Applab has designed the portal in an accessible way according to all Mada standards. The core of this project is to cater to the users who participate in workshops. Studio 5/6 offers workshops that are either one-time or span several days.
Visitors can easily sign up in order to register in the workshops. The portal also allows profiles to be linked, which gives the guardian or school teacher the ability to register the students into the activities. Considering that the workshops may also be divided according to age range and gender, the system is designed and developed to be capable of gender and age validation.
The design of the website is sleek, simple, and easy to navigate. The registration process is easy for all ages to follow. Registered users can update their profile settings and manage which profiles they are linked to. They can also see all the activities and workshops that they are enrolled in, are placed on the waiting list, or have already attended.
From the backend, admin users have access to many crucial elements, such as:
Additionally, following the COVID-19 pandemic, Applab was quick to implement a module which allows admins to send the links for the online workshops, making the transition from physical to online as smooth as possible.
