2019 | Bronze Innergy Award
DIY Android and iOS apps for teachers who want to build
The DIY mobile app award recognises a practical shift: teachers do not only consume educational apps, they can learn to package and share their own. That turns app creation into a teacher capability rather than a vendor dependency.
Why This Award Matters
The DIY mobile app award recognises a practical shift: teachers do not only consume educational apps, they can learn to package and share their own. That turns app creation into a teacher capability rather than a vendor dependency. The deeper achievement is not just the prize. It is the design habit behind the work: start from a real classroom problem, build something teachers and students can use, and keep improving it until the technology helps thinking become visible.
Strengths Worth Noticing
- Lowers the barrier for teachers to turn web interactives into mobile learning tools.
- Encourages ownership of the full resource pipeline from idea to distribution.
- Supports faster sharing of curriculum-specific learning apps.
Alignment to EdTech Masterplan 2030
The EdTech Masterplan 2030 calls for technology-transformed learning, stronger use of AI and digital tools, and a student-centred approach to teaching and learning. This award connects to that direction in three practical ways:
- Builds teacher digital capability through authentic creation work.
- Extends learning access across mobile devices.
- Supports customised technology-enabled learning for local classroom needs.
Classroom Conversation Starter
Ask a teacher team: what part of this award can be made smaller and used next week? A simulation, a sensor task, a scaffolded SLS activity, an automation script, or an AI-supported manipulative becomes powerful when it is attached to a clear learning question.
