Manama, June 13 (BNA): Six students from Al Istiklal Secondary School for Girls have built a digital, educational, entertainment and advisory prototype for people of determination.
The app includes videos, photos, and stories that allow users to interact and showcase their talents and abilities.
“This application represents a useful digital library for people with autism, deafness, color blindness and low vision and offers a variety of stories in Arabic and English and is equipped with translation into sign language,” Maryam Hussein Ali, one of the designers, said.
The application includes the “Write your own story” feature that stimulates the talents and capabilities of users and provides a variety of focused activities included within the stories with a special section for medical consultations that enables users to communicate with a selection of qualified specialists.
Basmala Abdel Hamid, another designer student, pointed out that engaging in the scientific experiment with humanitarian goals opened wide horizons in thinking outside the box, creativity, scientific research, planning, design and formulation of digital content.
Retaj Osama Zaman, another student, said, “We will work hard to see this application form with all the characteristics we had planned for and with the search for support for the specialized project in this field.”
“We look forward to cooperating with specialized centers such as the Student Care Center and aspire to provide content in multiple languages suitable for more than one age group with training courses related to the application pioneer such as learning sign language and training programs that help understand this group to facilitate its integration into society.”
