Welcome to the Educado Initiative! We're a collaborative group spanning continents, composed of students, educators, and tech enthusiasts. Our goal is to create free and easy-to-use educational tools online, targeting various communities and age groups. Our recent focus is on empowering the often overlooked waste picker communities.

Waste pickers, the unsung heroes of recycling, often work in challenging environments with limited access to education. With the closure of the second largest dumpsite in the world in Brasília, their challenges intensified.

Educado is our flagship mobile Android app designed specifically for waste pickers and those with low educational backgrounds. It offers:

• Tailored educational content relevant to their day-to-day lives.
• Modules on finances, health and safety, machinery operations, personal hygiene, and more.
• Flexible learning options without the need for traditional classrooms.

This initiative aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4: Quality Education. By collaborating with Aalborg University for tech development and the University of Brasília (UnB) for design and content, we are crafting solutions tailored to real-world needs.

Your skills and passion can contribute to our mission:

• Contribute: Developers can optimize our tools, designers can amplify the user experience, and educators can provide invaluable content.
• Projects: Engage in our diverse projects, each with its own impact and audience.

By joining Educado, you:

• Connect with a global community passionate about education and technology.
• Acquire new skills and insights while working on transformative projects.
• Help make education accessible and relevant to diverse communities.

• Sustainable Development Goals: Our initiatives resonate with multiple SDGs, emphasizing quality education, health, and sustainable communities.
