SmartBox® solves 6 challenges faced by schools in developing countries:

1. Lack of Internet - The SmartBox® provides students a vast collection of content sent wirelessly to the Chromebooks.
2. Limited Electricity - Runs on battery power for 12-16 hours; recharges in 5 hours with generator or solar system.
3. Textbook Shortage - Students have access to a myriad of books, videos and learning resources.
4. Teacher Shortage - Students can learn in the absence of a qualified teacher, and teachers can also learn!
5. Messy Wiring Runs - Gone are the days of the traditional computer lab with its tangle of cords.
6. Security - Can be securely locked and stored each evening.

Case Study: Liberia

In three years the SmartBox® helped take Sinoe County from #11 to #1 on the West African Examination Council (WAEC) exam. In 2014, Sinoe 12th graders had a 23% passing rate. In 2017, they jumped to 88% to top all 15 counties in Liberia. The SmartBox® is currently being used in 30 Liberian schools and orphanages in nine counties. Thousands of students have learned to use the computer, and have gained proficiency in math, the sciences, and other subject areas.
