About MEKALUMI
Engineering education for every pikin, for every language, everywhere
MEKALUMI na international, open education project wey dem still dey develop.
Mission
To give every pikin di chance to learn engineering, create virtual devices and do experiments — no matter wia dem dey live, how much moni dia family dey make, or weda dem get access to expensive equipment.
Principles
-
Learning na free
Learning no suppose depend on how much moni family dey make.
-
Open
Open development, open formats, and e dey open for contributions.

-
Private from di start
No accounts, no ads, no trackers for dis website.
-
Learn as you dey do
Experiment first; explanation go follow.
How dem build MEKALUMI
- Interactive lab
- 2D/3D environment wia you dey build devices wit virtual parts.
- Engineering simulations
- Calculations for eight engineering areas, wey dey run locally for di device.
- Lessons
- Lessons for all di eight areas, wey dem don create and check locally.
- Creator Studio
- Tool for teachers to take create lessons. E still dey change and grow.
- .mekapack
- File format wey dem dey use package and share lessons.
- Android
- Version for Android phones, wey dem don test for emulator wey get 2 GB memory.
- Dis website
- Static website wey no heavy and no get trackers, and dem don prepare am for plenty languages.
Di limits wey dey now
- Dem neva release MEKALUMI for public.
- Dem neva confirm di Android version for real phone wey get 2 GB memory.
- Creator Studio still dey change and grow.
- Simulations na models of reality wey dem simplify.
- Di translations for dis website na drafts until native speakers check dem.
- Di licence model neva final.
Roadmap
Plans, no be promise: di order and di timing fit change.
