*** Calling all Compassionate Coders *** The ShiraX Challenges are an ambitious plan to develop a web-based platform that facilitates the creation of self-teaching uniquely-engaging educational apps for web, Android, iOS, and more.

Google, UNESCO, World Food Programme, and XPRIZE are all partnering in an endeavour to educate kids who have no access to schools or teachers. Let's make it happen and give them a brilliant software solution! Nothing like the ShiraX System has even been done before and we KNOW it's what these organizations are looking for. We have split up development of the ShiraX System into 60 pieces, spread across 6 categories. Click a sub-challenge category to learn more!
