Software Developer Volunteer Opening (Remote - Unpaid)
About the Team
We are Aihe, an ed-tech, early stage unfunded project. Our vision is to enable a world where any learner can become an expert. We believe in the power of education and are mission driven to support teachers being excellent educators while also enjoying what they do outside the classroom.
We've built a Aita solution that marks free text responses faster than with Google Forms to help reduce the time spent on marking tests and assessing students. Our goal is to assist instructors who are forced to mark and grade anywhere between 1,200 to 36,000 questions in the span of a week during their private time and outside paid hours. We want to create more time for teachers to focus on what they love, both inside and outside the classroom.
We are a highly driven SCRUM team.
