Edutech Institute, founded by Dolan Govender in 2018, provides personalised, technology-driven AI solutions to address educational inequality in South Africa and across the continent. Their EdTech solution, Mindspark, supports learners in building strong foundations in numeracy, literacy, and science from Grades 1 to 10.

Mindspark: AI That Adapts to Each Learner

Mindspark is an AI-powered adaptive learning platform that acts as a teacher’s assistant. It diagnoses individual learning gaps and creates customised learning paths through interactive questions, activities, and games, all tailored to each student’s unique needs.

The software enables students to learn at their own pace, providing instant feedback, reinforcing difficult concepts, and ensuring mastery before introducing new material. This means:

  • Students get personalised learning and assessments.
  • If a teacher or student is absent, learning can still continue uninterrupted.
  • Learners who need more time can practice and master concepts before progressing.
  • Advanced learners can explore more challenging material within the curriculum, keeping them engaged and stimulated.

Mindspark ensures that every learner stays engaged, confident, and on track, whether a student needs extra support or is ready to accelerate.
