KITTE
"Fly a Kitte and Help a Child Reach the Sky"
Our Story
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
After visiting underprivileged pre-schools in Venezuela and Dominican Republic, we detected a pattern. Teachers believe that they need donations of unattainable materials to provide a quality education. Many have created a self-fulfilling prophecy around this fact that results in the lost of motivation to educate. We decided to find a sustainable solution to this.
Here is when KITTE comes in to play. We are designing a self-explanatory kit with the necessary tools to improve preschool curriculums without traditional resources that encourages teachers to think outside of the box, incubates entrepreneurial skills and introduces the value of unconventional natural materials that have been proven to be effective.

About Us
We are a team of college students that have always felt a need to positively impact the lives of those that need us the most. We grew up in a country where poverty is a prevalent issue and we have come to believe that education is the best tool to alleviate the effects of being born in such environment. In efforts to solve this problem, KITTE seemed to be the perfect innovative recipe to transform the classroom environment in remote pre-schools.
Objectives
KITTE is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do is aimed at providing a holistic approach to alleviating one of our society’s biggest challenges, poverty.
Learning Through Play
Lowering Dependence on Donations
Use of Unconventional Materials
Eliminating the Self-fulfilling Prophecy

Our Product
Kit to Educate
Our kit consists of a 12x12 inch multi-purpose cube and a self-explanatory activity guide. The cube will be produced with recyclable materials and is being thoughtfully designed to provide a great variety of activities that have been adapted to our concept. To achieve this we are carefully crafting each side of the cube with different features. The guide will be divided into six categories; language, mathematics, cognition, gross motor, creativity and values. It will also include illustrations of how to implement each activity as well as the impact on the children's learning process.
